I say, go ahead and adopt a chihuahua. I disagree with some of the postings on here, chihuahuas are just as good with kids as yorkies are. My Mia is a chi, she's on the more timid side, we call her the Little Lady, she even sits with her legs crossed on the side of her body. She's very gentle, and has NEVER tried biting someone. She doesn't even growl at people, and she did not come from a very good home environment when we first got her, the father in that family didn't want her and was mean to her. Of course, we've trained her to be less shy around people. She now goes up to greet people and sniff their hands, when before she would hid behind my legs.

Thanks livingdustmops for clearing up the issues with the rescue.

BTW, when kids come up to us to look at our dogs, they always go to Mia first. Why? Because she's calmly sitting there while Addie is energetically trying to get attention. Dany (our other yorkie) wants nothing to do with kids, but we're working on her social skills. Being a puppy mill survivor, she's got some issues we have to work on.
