Hey Jennifer, Chi's come in a variety of colors, tan, fawn, black white, tan black white, dark greys (called blues), chocolate brown. I've even seen all whites and silver.
I feed my pup, Wellness. Its a new brand, but highly recommended by pet shops and vets. Its all natural. I hope you dont have any cats, then you can forget about dog food. For some reason, dogs love cat food. I know, my Conchita now wont eat her food; for which I paid a considerable amount of money. My vet says its ok for dogs to eat cat food but not the other way around. I give nutracal just in case. About kids, my chi is great with my daughter. Granted she is 17 but disabled. They have big hearts, are very protective with the family and usually picks one family member as they're lord and master, but is just a lovable with everyone else. Little children tend to be excessively rough, so be careful with the chi. I only dress my chi when its cold, and have had a hard time finding something small enough for her to wear so I resorted to ferret clothing for now. Hope this helps. Enjoy your toy.
