Which would you prefer and why? I wanted to see what other people's thoughts would be
I'm asking because I know I want my next dog to be an eskie but I'm not sure which size. We (they're family dogs) have 5 dogs which consist of maltese, yorkies and a lab. Since I already have small dogs I'm leaning towards the standard or mini rather than the toy.
I know there's not a massive difference between mini and standard so it doesn't really matter much either way but still I wanted to figure it out now so in the future, when I'm ready to get my eskie, I'll already know which size I want. Which reminds me, is it easier to find a good breeder for a standard or mini? That might be the deciding factor.
I'll be doing lots of activities with him. Hiking, going to the beach, biking, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, I'd like to try some dog sports, etc. I'm sure any size eskie could do these things and enjoy it as well - just a bit of background info here.
Anyway, thanks in advance!
