Awwww...really? All the doxies I've ever seen have been great w/ kids. My sister has a regular sized long-haired one (they DO look like cocker spaniels)...and my best friend had one growing up and now she has her own! I've never seen a doxie be mean to adults either.
Although I can see how a child would be scared b/c if you get them barking...whew! They're obnoxious!
cntryZTA, Shelby sounds cute! I love puppies!!!
DWAlphaGam, I'm so glad to hear Sophie came back! She must have really been feeling adventurous to take off like that. Jasmine won't wander more than about 10 or 15 feet away from my husband or me before she has to look up and see where we are. She has major separation anxiety I guess.
