And most of the time Karen doesn't pick up after her her chihuahua but the lab owners do... On the other side of the argument, is it really fair for your big golden retriever to be locked up in a tiny apartment all day long? Plus from the management perspective, big dogs can mean big damage. I see all sides of this one...
Agreed. Big dogs tend to equal bigger poops and bigger liabilities. Many small breeds are known to be quite vicious- however it’s far less likely anyone will report your mini Pom for attacking them or have any injury of note than say if your Rottweiler were to even playfully bite someone too hard. A big part of why so many small dogs are poorly behaved illustrates the point. Most owners don’t feel the need to instill the same discipline in peaches the toy poodle as in Hulk the 100+lb Akita. So the question answers itself. So it sucks and is often BS because many large dogs are well behaved- but just because you trust your animal doesn’t mean a property owner will when they could share liability and you are the only one seeing a benefit. So it makes sense even if I do t like it.
