Wow!! I'm glad to hear that the chihuahua spared your life!! LOL. I'm sorry I couldn't help that. Well, I have experieced chi,chi's that will lick you to death and some that will not allow a stranger to pet them. I suppose it depends upon the dogs personality, the breeding, and the way it is raised to a certain extent. Cisco is kindda is in between. He is very protective, but has never actually attacked anyone. Though I know for a fact that if a person were to threaten me in anyway he would def. come to my defense!!
