How are Min Pins as family pets?

[Anonymous]

I have heard good and bad, mostly bad. I have heard they can be very possesive of a family member and snappy with kids.

I have heard they aren't good with kids...

Those dogs are notorious for being nasty, particularly with kids...

All the ones I know are nasty toward other people and pets. Could be the owners' faults though.

They have a bad reputation with children. Not a popular breed and a high percentage of who have them put them up for adoption, where they are tough to place. Red flag.

I've heard they rule with a tiny iron paw.

My parents have a min pin who is a great dog. She loves their other dogs and is great with children. The only annoying thing about her is the yippy bark.

Terrible all around dogs. I haven't met one yet that wasn't an asshole to both people and dogs.

High strung dogs

snappy and not nice

Very energetic and hyper dogs. They tend not to listen. They are very yappy and snippy. They are pretty strong for such small dogs but even then, not good with children as they are aggressive. If someone paid me 1k to take their min pin, I still wouldn't. Horrible monsters.

OMFG. Really. No. I know someone that has 4 of them. We can't even hold a conversation on the phone because those rodents have a high pitched "bark" that goes right through you. Just don't. Their barking is constant and they are impossible to train. Gross, yippy and useless. If you have children, get a child friendly dog that won't be a complete needy PITA.
