I have a 5 lb chi and people call it a rat, not a real dog etc.

Little dogs are usually yappy and annoying. What’s to like?


Same here. I really dislike small dogs. Love big mutts.

My family had German Shepherds and Collies, so I never imagined having a little dog. I love my 12 pound Havanese. Little dogs have a reputation for being nippy and yappy. My dog is not. He doesn't shed. He requires pampering and grooming.

I don't like most of them because their owners rarely train them well "because they're so small!"

Aggressive dogs and neglectful owners bother me.

It is a weird badge of honor people wear. Same with those who “hate” cats. I don’t really get it. I like all animals even if I wouldn’t choose all of them as pets.

Honestly, it’s probably sexism/internalized sexism. Cats and small dogs are associated with women and femininity and therefore on some level considered inferior.

I like dogs that are between about 12-25 lbs.

I've never particularly liked little dogs either, but I guess a little dog is better than a cat, though not by much.

Yes! People seem to feel proud that they can handle a big dog and seem to imply that small dog owners are wimpy. I have also heard the dogs referred to as rats, and other undesirable creatures.

I love my little dog, though, so who cares what other people think?

Yes, I noticed that, too. It feels slightly offensive. The reason we got a larger dog was that he's my first dog and I was terrified of stepping on a small one by accident... irrational, probably, but there you go.
