I would say it really depends on your twins temperament? Are they grabby? Pushy? Or Gentle? I do NOT think a chi is a good pet for children that are super-active and rough on things. Chi's have a delicate bone structure. Many rescues will not place in a home with small children. But at 7, I think it really depends on the children. Chi's love to play, but not all like children. I would definitely look for a breeder that has children and has socialized the chi to children.

We currently have a large dog (50-60lbs) that we are going to have to put down. We are trying to make the most informed decision on the next dog we purchase. We have 7 year old twins. We want a small dog with short hair that requires little outside exercise and little grooming. It seems a chihuahua is perfect for us. But, I am worried about the tempermant. Everything I read says that they can be nippy with small children. How true is this? what experience have you had? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------ " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today! " Yahoo! Groups Links
