Is there any difference between two sentences below:
"It is a lovely big dog"
"It is a big lovely dog"
Which is better?
Do we need to arrange adjectives in a sentence with a certain order?
Thanks! :)

Hi!:-D
Your English is getting better and better.
Keep up the good work!:-D

P.S. I think I'll leave your question for other teachers.
 
This site prescribes 'It is a lovely big dog'.

The patterns for the order of adjectives are more guidelines than absolute rules, and you will find different orders being used. You could make a context where big lovely dog would work, but in most contexts we'd say lovely big.
