ome dogs fit conveniently into a size category — they’re tiny or massive, and it’s pretty easy to see where they belong in terms of classification. Other dogs present more of a challenge, especially if they’re of the rescue variety. Knowing where your dog fits in terms of size classification is important — it has an overall impact on his health and day-to-day care requirements, lifespan, activity requirements and the cost of owning him. His size determines whether he’ll be suited to certain environments, lifestyles and purposes. Aside from this, it’s just cool to know. In this two-part series, we’ll take a closer look at our more diminutive friends, the small and medium breed dogs.
