NO! And I think that is what my problem is. I think my babies can sense my fear and it's what causing them to be nervous and skittish around others. But I have good reason! When we were little my brother was bitten so bad by a Irish setter. They say if it weren't for him being the chunky kid that he was he would have for sure not be with us today. The bite was to the throat and came too close to his windpipe. Mind you he was teasing the poor dog and the dog probably had had enough. I did not see it happened but the image of my mom holding his neck with his skin over lapping her hand when he came in will NEVER leave my mind. Then my 3lbs Gus was attacked by a German Shepherd and was almost killed. pierced lung, fluid in chest cavity, lacerations on chest, thighs and buttocks and pulled though when even the doctors said it didn't look good. This dog lived in a home with kids and 2 other dogs (a tiny 2lb Chihuahua and pug mix) and had never showed aggression towards anyone one before. Gus was in our own yard and this GH ran from across street and attacked him for no reason at all. They were fined and did pay for the bill. But again about 2 weeks after this he got out and killed a puppy who was playing with its skinkids. Then again at one of our Yorkie meetups at the dog beach in Long Beach, we were walking on the shore and a boxer lunged at him and even though I was able to pull him up before it got ahold of him, Gus did get a small tooth scratch on his chest. It always scared me to see little dogs around big dogs but like I said for very good reasons.
