[quote=Anonymous]I've loved dogs my whole life, but developed a distaste for small dogs pre-Kindergarten. The big dogs I interacted with (family friends dogs, friends dogs, dogs on the street) tended to be gentle. For those, it was explained that while a full sized Collie was big, he would be calm.  So while initially intimidating in size, I had many experiences at a young age with petting and patting a happy, chilled out laying down big dog. The smaller ones? Hyper and literally IN YOUR FACE as a kid. My big thing was always "does it jump?" because a Cocker Spaniel jumping at your face at 5 is way scarier than a sort of lackadaisical Golden Retriever. As a dog owner who is loving but also strict, I do agree people with small dogs often don't train them. Like it doesn't matter if they're doing zoomies all around the living room and jumping on guests on the couch trying to have a glass of wine because they weigh 8 lbs, even though it is SUPER obnoxious behavior. You can't get away with sh+t like that with an 80 lb dog. So yeah, like others, dislike of the small, yappy, and untrained has been a thing my entire life. There are a select few I have met that I adore, but that is the exception not the rule. [/quote]
