Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is one of the breeds least recommended for families with young children. When frightened their natural defense mechanism is to bite, and they can become easily overexcited and misjudge child’s play for attack. For this reason, the Shih Tzu would need constant supervision if small children are around, and they quickly develop separation anxiety – which in turn can create behavioral problems – if left alone too long, meaning they would need to be around their masters constantly.

Pekingese
Despite looking extremely cute and cuddly, Pekingese are independent and courageous dogs and do not like to be treated as toy-things, but because of their small size and fluffiness, this may be hard for young children to understand. Pekingese also need strong leadership, as if they sense any kind of weakness they can become extremely difficult to control. So if you do decide to care for a Pekingese and you have kids at home, just make sure your children know how to step up as pack leader and show authority, otherwise, we recommend you look for a different breed.
