Some dogs are not suitable as family dogs, ESPECIALLY if the man in the hours is not viewed by the dog as ABSOLUTE MASTER IN ALL THINGS. Otherwise that dog will do his best to assume that role.

It's one thing is it a chihuahua or Jack Russel...though they can hurt a child, they cannot seriously maim or kill one.
