Big and small.

The Boston Terrier looks huge, but the Chihuahua is more macho.

A tiny dog may or may not be macho, but I'm not the one who'd pose that question to that motorcyclist.; 5/5/14, 9:43 AM

My experience with chihuahuas is that they are very aggressive, territorial, and nasty in temperament.; 5/5/14, 1:45 PM

I am prejudiced against small dogs, but these ones are fine with me. They do have sharp teeth.; 5/6/14, 10:15 AM
