It seems like a lot of people who adopt little dogs don't bother to train them. It's harder to get away with when your dog is big enough to do some real damage.

Could be that people adopt small dogs expecting them to be less work or more like cats or something. I don't know what the rationale is, really.

Generally, I can't stand small dogs. They're usually loud, hyper, and annoying. Some are cool of course.

As far as the author's question goes, I would vote for clueless and/or stupid. I've never known anyone who got off on how much their yappy dogs annoys other people.

Think of this way... Parents with annoying and loud kids still love them and are proud to call them their's. Same goes for their dogs I guess. Who wants to admit that their dog (or kid) is annoying or stupid?

Of course, those on the outside looking in, can call a spade a spade.

I have 2 little dogs - one of them is noisy, while the other is pretty quiet (that is, till the mailman encroaches upon our home)... and I love them dearly.
They are damned smart too, and a lot less poop to clean up after.
And, noisy dogs are a home burglars nightmare.
Just don't leave them outside all day to annoy your neighbors.

Yeah, or in the house. Often times they yap when said owner isn't around, I found this out by actually talking to my neighbors, weird, right? Problem is, what is the owner to do? And people bitch about children!

Depends on the drugs thee lil shits found out in thee shed. THEY GO NUTS OVER OPPOSSUM PUNCH FTW SMALL DOGS FUR LIFE!

I think I'm a small dog owner (my dog is 19lbs). The first thing I taught him was to not bark (I live in an apt). He trail runs with me, plays fetch and can be a bit high energy with new people, but that's what I like. I want an active dog, not an annoying dog. Regardless of dog's breed or size, if it's a shitty dog, they have a shitty owner. Period.

Someone broke out an 80s comic strip anthology recently. Can't wait for some other I,Anon to complain about ack-ing cats.

I can urinate from my upstairs window onto the neighbors noisy little piece of shit dog rather accurately. He runs back through the doggy door whenever he hears my window opening now so I haven't had to piss on him in a while.

Haley, has anyone ever told you that you freakin rule?
