Chihuahua
Considering their small size, plenty of people assume that Chihuahuas are quite fit for families with small children, but in fact, it’s quite the opposite. In fact, these little guys rely on their mouths to efficiently protect them where their stature can’t.
That’s why they react with plenty of barks, and sometimes even bites, especially when they feel the need to defend themselves. So many Chihuahuas out there need their own personal space. They might give plenty of social cues if anyone outside their primary caregiver enters their personal zone and makes them feel uncomfortable.
The problem is children aren’t all that great at reading signals, and a Chi could become quite aggressive.
