We found a website online that outlines many breeds of dogs and lists their characteristics! Here is a quick overview of small, medium, and large dogs that was on the site. For a list of dog breeds and their characterists, please visit the article online at essortment.com.
SMALL DOGS
Small dogs are best suited for older kids as their size doesn't make them well suited to the physical rough-housing smaller kids may subject them to. They need limited exercise so they make good companions for the elderly and/or people in small living spaces. Because they are low to the ground they can be subject to respiratory infections, so be careful to keep them in warm dry environments. They should never be solely outside dogs.
Generally speaking, medium sized dogs should have access to yards. It is best to live in a house if you want your medium sized dog to be happy and free from boredom. Medium dogs are better suited to young children as they are heartier and less defensive.
LARGE DOGS
Any of the large breeds will need two requirements; lots of space and a strong person to handle them. Many large dogs are gentle and loyal but do need a firm hand in training. They also need lots of food and are expensive to have groomed. Make sure you can handle the cost of a large dog before you get one.
