I used to be with the little dog hate crew, but no more. I reckon I started hating them at age 9 or 10 because the first dog that bit me was a Dachshund. And I do hate the ones that bark nonstop and nip at your ankles.

I've since met some very awesome chihuahuas and miniature schnauzers that are the best dogs ever. My friend's chihuahua hardly ever barks at all.

An LBS has the cutest little dachshund you've ever seen in your life. I've yet to hear that dog bark, just the click of the claws on the floor as it runs around.
