Hi is lovely. My 9 yr old son keeps saying he wants a chihuahua and my husband is now beginning to like them after meeting a very cute and very well mannered one at the park...he says mabe one day but as we are also a big dog person my only worry would be the chi might get accidentally hurt by our bigger dogs. In no way do I think that small dogs like chi's are not a Real dog. All dogs are REAL dogs
