My mom has a dachshund that is great around my 3 boys but doesnt like other kids. When we take him to the park with us, or wherever there are kids, he shy's away from them. If they insist on petting him, he wont bite them or hurt them, but he will growl and snap in the air as a way of saying "Leave me alone!" We dont know why he is like that because like I said, he is fine around my boys, but he just doesnt like UN-family kids!! LOL!! I think its just how some dogs are - similar to people. Some people dont want kids; some do. Its all a personal preference. |
