The average future dog owner does not own acres of property. They don't have a fenced backyard or thousand of square feet inside their home. They haven't thought about their possessions being coated in dog hair or the bags they'll need to purchase to pick up Fido's poop.

Disadvantages to owning a toy dog seem to center around the "idea" of them. You want the idea of a big dog for security reasons. And with Toy dogs weighing on average 5 pounds (bitches' weighing even less) that

isn't mentally reassuring. But these little ankle biters are just as protective as a big hound. In fact, small dogs are downright fearless. Men don't want to own a Toy dog because small dogs are meant to lie on Grandma's lap and in the purse of Paris Hilton. This isn't the case! These miniature tail-waggers have boundless energy in spurts and can bring back a tennis ball with the best of them.
