[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the dog in question.  We have a chi cross and he is absolutely delightful with our children.  He has never nipped or snarled at them, is patient, kind and loves to cuddle up with them.  However, you should supervise small children around all pets.  He is also easy to travel with, low maintenance, perfectly housebroken and low energy so he doesn't require hours of walking every day.

I personally hate labs, they are high energy and chew on everything for years.  So many labs are just annoying, poorly trained dogs.[/quote]
I agree. A well trained dog of any breed is delightful. Chihuahuas and small dogs in general get a bad rap because so many people refuse to put in the effort to train them properly.  [/quote]
 I will add to this. I agree a well-trained dog of any breed is it a delight. However if you have small children I would lean towards a smaller dog for a couple of reasons. Your child can easily manage the dogs on walks and, if something freaky happens and the dog does bite or nip your child, it will not be as badly injured then if a bigger dog did. I have a miniature poodle who is an absolute delight. Well mannered, low energy, very good with children. [/quote]
