Many people ask what is the right size dog to have? It depends on your preference. If you are a small dog lover then a small dog is for you. Personally I like the little dogs. Some people have to have a really big dog. It also depends on what you want the dog for. As a companion their are many sizes you can have based on your preference. If you want a guard dog you don’t want a tiny dog as it wouldn’t really deter a burglar away. If you want a dog that is both a security guard and a best friend you may consider a German Shepard. It all depends on you.
