Until I had a JRT (that's Jack Russell Terrier) that chased the Rottweiller away, I would have said the same thing), but now I like little dogs much better. Less poo, same amount of spunk.
JRT's rule!
Do you have a standard-size Jack or a puddin?
Our little guy's a puddin and can hold his own against our 80 pound lab-mix.
They're both 'real' dogs to me.
