re: Kid wants wiener dog for birthday

I’ve been around 4 short hair through my parents and sister and all have been similar. They are not on average ‘great’ with kids. Many of them get scared and bite due to their size and kids being overly aggressive with them. The males get scared and piss themselves. Both sexes are hard to potty train.

As said, great barkers if you want that otherwise horrible. They bark at crap like hearing the garbage truck down the street. Stuff you don’t hear or is not anywhere close.

You have to train them hard where to sleep because as said they like to get under blankets. Their cold little wet noses will poke your lower back and bare legs trying to snuggle up close in the middle of the night.
