Are Chihuahuas a good breed for families with children?
For families with well behaved children, I would suggest a male Chihuahua weighing at least 5 lbs. Popular opinion is that “Chihuahuas have fragile bones and should not be handled by children.” His bones will break easily if he is dropped, stepped on, or if he is jammed in a door, it could even kill him. His eyes are also big and close to the floor, so care should be taken not to accidentally poke or kick him in the eye which could cause blindness.
