As a person whose family has recued a few chi (all which have issues) some really dislike children.. i don t feel they are a dog for children. the best dog we had when the kids were young was a 13 inch beagle. they love kids and they are tough little dogs.

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, November 28, 2008, 10:55 AM Hello all. 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.
