I completely agree. I think the chihuahua breed is stereotyped for
being mismatched with children. It's like that b/c a lot of people
won't give them the chance to be around kids. FiFi loves my boys.
She is timid around other children until they sit quietly. Then she
will come to them. But since she is used to my boys, she doesn't
snap at kids she doesn't know. She may shy away, but that's it.
