LOL! Love the video! We live in a very small space too, so for is, Kolchak was a compromise between the little dig I wanted and the big “manly” dog the Daddy wanted. At 24 pounds, he’s small enough to take up minimal space and sturdy enough not to be considered “frou frou”. He usually gets mistaken for a lab or a pit bull puppy. We say he’s the best of both two worlds.

I subscribe to Dexter’s YouTube channel – he is SO funny, along with Mom and Peppermint. I have all sizes of dogs; the Doxies and Border Terrier mix are my lap dogs, well, along with Justus on occasion and the big dogs are just fun. Hickory Dock, a senior Treeing Walker Coonhound (adoptable!) likes to ride in the car while I do errands. He is very happy afterward (I do try to give him a walk somewhere along the way). I’ve watched this video so many times and it always cracks me up.
BTW, I LOVE small houses.

Dexter cracks me up 🙂 I am a lover big dogs too – I love being able to give Cali a big hug, but I also think it would be fun to have a more “portable” dog.

Dexter is definitely the anti-PR dog for small dogs. I have come to a point where my only consideration in having a dog is that I am able to lift one. Since i struggle to weigh 100 pounds that pretty much limits me to toy breeds. Maybe it’s a control thing for me, but large dogs I’ve had have just sat and laughed at me at certain points in the training regimen. My little guys don’t know they are little. We hike for miles. Less food, fewer hairs to vacuum and longer lifespans.

Cute…although I think a lot of those apply to big dogs too. Ha, ha. I have two small Dachshunds. I didn’t go looking for small dogs. I inherited my first one and never went back. They are great for living in small spaces but my little guys are also super awesome outdoor dogs (which is part of why I wanted a dog in the first place…to hike with me). They are so tough and will out hike me for miles. I would just chose your small dog wisely. I am sure you will but do your research and pick one with the personality traits that best match your lifestyle. You can find almost anything you can in a bit dog in a small dog package….except for maybe the pooping in your shoe part 🙂

Dexter is just precious. He is very much a “real dog” despite his size. I have yet to jump ship and become a small dog lover, but when I look at him, I am almost tempted as well. Are you sure Honey doesn’t need a little friend?
