I have a chi, Buffy is 6. She sleeps ALL day long, I have never seen a dog that likes to sleep that much. Occasionally she will have a huge burst of energy and run through the house like a mad woman. She only barks if she hears a strange noise, or a car(she is a great guard dog), and of course if Rocco or pom gets in the trash can, she barks to scold him, that is so funny to watch. I got Buffy from a pet store, before I new anything about animals in pet stores, so I know she came from a bad place and she can get nervous and even nippy, but I think that has to do with her first 5 months of her life. I love the chi breed, she is very devoted to me and whole family, likes to burrow in blankies, wants to be on a lap or next to a person any time possible, very smart, and sweet. I think if you get a puppy from a good breeder that socializes, just like any puppy, it would be ok with kids. |
