What wifey wants wifey gets.

My 30 pound basset with 1 eye chased/killed everything in the yard. She even chased and trapped the neighbors cat in the shed.

I have yet to pay for a dog. Between Craigslist, family and calling local shelters I have gotten my last 4 dogs.

The plus side is they're easy to take care of. Keep in mind that bigger dogs means longer walks, or else they will drive you absolutely crazy. Lap dogs don't require nearly as much exercise.

I'm stuck on the same situation because. Want a dog, want a bigger dog, but don't have the time to commit to a bigger dog.

Drug the lap dog until the wife thinks it dead, and then return it to the seller. Get a man's dog some old tires, chains, and a vest.

Let her have it on the condition that you have zero involvement with it. She cares completely for it.

Stupid worthless dogs.

I used to be the same way, German Shepherds or similar, had to be. Then I became comfortable and confident with my masculinity.

12 years ago we got a large yorkie, and it became one of the best dogs ever. It doesn't bark in the house.

Now we have two of them, including a small female. She makes my day almost everyday, when I need to smile or laugh, it is easy for her.

Their poop is a lot smaller, and they eat much less as well.

Will they defend us against an intruder? Nope, but plenty of big dogs won't either. Our little one will sure let us know when someone is here though. Their hearts are as big as any dog.

Bottom line, all dogs are awesome, it is just the owners that make some of them hard to be around.

You can't lose, good luck.

Absolutely not true.

Some of these little dogs are annoying little shits with 0 redeeming qualities.

Read the rest of my post, about the owner. Dogs can sense people, and whether they can trust you or not.

Putting peanut butter on your junk and having them pleasure you is not being a good dog owner.

I love dogs and am always very kind to them. Usually get along well with them.

I have encountered two toy dogs in my life and both were annoying, high strung and worthless and were absolute terrors to be around. Would not settle down, needy, constantly wanting attention, getting all up in my shit.

Anything smaller than a beagle needs to die.

You haven't been around a little dog that was trained or raised right then. I have been around dogs like you talk about, and it usually takes a couple of encounters, then they are cool when I am around them.

My boss has two white maltese that were that way, now when she brings them in, they run to my office without making a sound, then roll over for a belly rub.

Is that counting our Maltese you met several years ago?

It is been my experience that most annoying dogs are a product of their owners. Especially ones that coddle the shit out of them.

Cockblockers of the worst kind tbh...

My cousin has a mini schnauzer. Love that thing. Fun, energetic, rarely ever barks, and just a great dog. He always kills a bird or tries to kill some birds whenever I dog sit him and let him outside.
