  1. Big dogs vs. small dogs: Which are better? By Ponderly

  2. Fact Box • A small breed dog typically weighs less than 22 pounds, while a large breed dog generally weighs more than 55 pounds. • Newsweek reported that in 2020, according to registration statistics from the American Kennel Club, the top three small dog breeds in the US were the French bulldog, the miniature or toy poodle, and the beagle. The top three large dog breeds were the Labrador retriever, the German shepherd, and the golden retriever. • Dogs are a subspecies of the gray wolf and were domesticated in Northern Eurasia “between 14,000 and 29,000 years ago.” • Statista reports that in 2021-2022, 69 million US households owned at least one dog.

  3. Chad (Small Dogs) Small dogs make excellent companions, especially in today’s urbanized world. With limited space in crowded cities and small apartments, they are a more practical choice than larger breeds. Their compact size makes them easier to accommodate, requiring less room, food, and resources. Additionally, small dogs have a lower environmental impact. In the U.S., pet-related energy consumption contributes significantly to methane and nitrous oxide emissions, and smaller dogs help reduce this footprint. They also generate less waste and are generally more affordable to care for. Their manageable size makes them safer, easier to transport, and more convenient for travel. Many rental properties impose size restrictions on pets, and having a small dog increases your housing options. Small dogs are loyal, live longer, and adapt well to life changes. While choosing a dog is personal, if you want a pet that can move and grow with you, a small dog is the ideal choice.

  4. Gina (Big Dogs) Choosing the right dog is exciting but also a big responsibility. Large breeds offer many benefits, from companionship to security. While they may be affectionate at home, their size alone can deter potential threats, providing peace of mind. As more establishments welcome dogs, proper training is crucial. Studies show large dogs, with their superior executive function, are easier to train and housebreak. They also tend to be less aggressive than smaller breeds. Many serve as working dogs, assisting in protection and rescue. At Ponderly, we believe large breed dogs make the smartest, most loyal companions for any family. Visit ponderly for more details.
