Big Dog or Small Dog?

[EWO]

It does seem that the little dogs put on a more exciting show. They seem to be quicker and move at a faster pace. I have always disagreed with the approach the little dogs are easier to handle. I have found that quite the opposite is true. A 30lb well conditioned dog is as hard to handle as anything out there. They can damn near fold themselves in half and go the other way to get where they want to go. For me, the bigger the dog the easier the handle. Granted it is easier to pick up a 30lb'er compared to a 50lb'er but factor in the wiggling and twisting and the big dog is much easier for me.

Agree with Frosty on the feed. I have a little male outside that eats way more than the dog next to him that outweighs him by 15lbs. I don't think size factors in as an absolute when feeding.

At the end of the day I will take a good one. EWO

Agree with the small 30lbers being harder to hold onto.

A larger person handling a small dog is harder than a small person handling a small dog.

Small range is still preference all night.
