Not super-small, but still cutesy and somewhat "prissy" in terms of air (the queen of England owns a whole pack of them): a Welsh Pembroke Corgi. My roommate got one and I ended up taking him out and walking him all the time. He was a sweet dog, and got tons of attention everywhere I went. Loved riding in my convertible and would stand on his useless little stub legs to look over the doorsill at the cars next to us, getting waves and smiles.
Never felt self conscious with him or any other little/cute dogs I've walked for friends. I'm secure in my masculinity
IMO, a man with a little dog is confident, i.e. he doesn't care what others think of him, and he doesn't need a big aggressive dog for protection.
The same goes for guys who drive those Dodge Ram trucks with those humongous grilles that double for a whale's open mouth and make a lot of exhaust noise, usually in black or red. They don't call them "p*n*s extenders" for nothin'.
I doubt most men with small dogs are trying to get attention from women. Most men aren't even thinking about trying to seek attention. All their thinking about is satisfying their own pets.
If you're a male who walks a little dog, and in particular I'm talking about the "cutsie" types -- not the small hunting breeds such as dachshunds -- we all know the dog is intended to act as a gateway to meet females. It's an old trick, everybody is aware of it at this point, and it really makes you come off as seeming desperate. And BTW, when you let it off its leash, and it goes nipping at the ankles of a man wearing new shoes, you run the risk of receiving a butt-kicking of a lifetime.
No, I don't do it for that purpose. This is as small as I go. One of my favs BTW... http://cherishedcockers.org/Slide%20...er-spaniel.jpg Golden Retrievers, German Sheps and Rotties are my four dogs. I don't like the little yippy dogs that bite at your ankle and get intimidated when a muscular human MALE comes around. Redirect Notice

yeah I think the only thing i hate more than the "small dog = gay" stereotype is the "big car/truck = small penis" stereotype. i'd drive a Corvette if I could afford it, not to prove something but because it's a fun freakin' car!
I personally don't like small dogs (except Pugs...they're so damn ugly they're cute), but I also grew up always have a big dog - labs, Rottweiler and a Shepherd. My parents have a squirrel, i mean chihuaua/pom mix and while she's cute....no. If I want a small animal, i'll stick with cats (which I have). If I ever get another dog, i'll be a Rott or a GSD. Not because they're aggressive (which they only are if trained so), but because they're ridiculously loyal, loving dogs that'll be with you until the very end. Which other dogs are, don't get me wrong, but they're just what I've had experience with and I tend to stick with what I know.
Of course, I also think guys that think it's a requirement to be seen with a pitt bull on a choker should be shot, flayed and hung out to dry. Again...personal opinioin.
