I agree with many above - it really depends on the personality of the individual dog. My female Rio and male Bullet are baby sat every day at my sister-in-law's house with her 3 year old granddaughter Maleia. Rio has never had any problems with Maleia, but Bullet is nervous around her and has growled and snapped at her on a few occasions. I think it's more from fear than agression. Thankfully, my sis-in-law never leaves them alone and is a very good pack leader for all of them. I worry more about Maleia, who is a big-boned 3 year old hurting my 3 lb Yorkies! But really, Maleia is very gentle and is so comfortable around dogs, big and small.
