Well, if your house isn't very big, it wouldn't be fair for the dog. They need a lot of space for running and playing. Unless you get a breed that isn't very active like a shihtzu or a lhasa apso. Chihuahuas and toy poodles are great for small homes. Get a breed that fits your home as well as your lifestyle.

obviously you need to consider the size of your home and how much opportunity there will be for outside exercise.

some larger dogs are very lazy, and tend to spend most of their time at home curled up on their bed.

personally I prefer larger dogs. we have a lurcher and a scottish deerhound at home.

since we moved out we don't have a dog in our own home yet, but we are planning a small dog, like a whippet, so it will be easier to take out in the car with us and we won't have to leave them at home alone. I wouldn't really want a smaller dog than that. they tend to be more nervous or agressive.

I like smaller dogs better.I own one now,I have a Lhasa Apso,and I'm waiting to get a Jack Russell mix.Small breeds are easy,I own them because I don't always have alot of energy.Sometimes I do and other times I just don't,so I chose dogs to best suit my life style.I think it's better to judge which dog breed based on your life style.Smaller breeds are easier to satify with taking a walk.Larger breeds are harder because they always want to be outside and become destructive if they're not exercised enough.They will become quite bored and start chewing furniture and destroying things in the house.For me, I stick with the smaller breeds.The other thing is ,before you decide on a dog do research about the breed to see if it fits you.Good luck,I hope this is of help to you.
