5. They make less mess
While this may depend upon the individual dog, in most cases, smaller dogs make less of a mess. If, for example, the dog has an accident in the home, you'll likely be cleaning up far less after a small dog than a larger breed. Also, large dogs can be quite destructive, tearing up clothing, furniture, toys, and other items. While small dogs can do this too, the amount of damage will more likely be far less with a smaller breed.
If you're considering purchasing a dog, these advantages of small breeds may help you make up your mind. Small dogs may be little, but many have big personalities and lots of love to give.
