www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-10-20-myths-about-small-dogs-that-deserve-debunkingStory at-a-glance It’s a myth that small dogs are easier to care for or don’t require as much exercise as large dogs The idea that small dogs are weak and content to simply cuddle or rest on the couch is a myth; many small dogs are tenacious and strong-willed, with the attitude to match Research revealed a strong association between height, body weight, skull proportions (width and length), and behavior, concluding that smaller dogs show more aggression than their larger counterparts Dog owners may be more tolerant of undesirable behaviors in smaller dogs, which may in turn increase behaviors such as excessive barking, nipping, eliminating indoors, begging, separation anxiety and attention-seeking A mutation in a growth hormone-regulating gene that corresponds to small body size in dogs was present in wolves over 50,000 years ago — long before domestication My notes: Do you have small dogs? I honestly never preferred one. I don't want a dog the size of my cat lol
