can we talk about how frickin adorable Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens are??
Also
they look
a lot like doodles
yet another struggling breed that could benefit if people looking for the 'doodle look' would just take two seconds to look away from 'designer' breeds

these babies

you know me, I always prefer bigger lol

Aren't bigger dogs more difficult to take care of?

more expensive to feed and they take longer to groom, but otherwise you just need to know the breed's requirements, same as any other dog

A working line doberman will always be more to deal with than a great dane, it's really just breed dependant

I'm broke. I like the small ones better

I'm just generally a big dog person, so if there are sizes and I can afford, I'll go with the bigger size
