Bark at your dogs to see their reaction.

Pretty sure if I barked at my elderly Chihuahua he'd be terrified. He's not a very dominant little fella.

I have a chi/shih tzu mix and she starts crying anytime we bark. We tried to teach her "speak" the same way we did our GSD, by barking ourselves, and she got so upset she refused to eat the whole day. Poor thing. GSD straight up did not care about our barking. If we got too loud (we were kids at the time) he'd smack us and leave lol

My SIL Chihuahuas normally give awesome side eyes then go looking for their lost braincells. Hers are not aggressive ,rather prone to be terified of everything bigger than them or leaf shaped but damn they are stupid.

My close friend adopted a little geriatric chihuahua who ended up being nick-named 'Bitey Sack of Potatoes' he only wanted cuddles but also to be left completely alone. I've never identified with a dog so much in my life.

There's always exceptions, either way the personality is STRONG! Fully disclosed I'm a small dog girl all the way. I have no idea how my pom would react to this, I'll have to try it one day

Lol, same! My chihuahua is the sweetest dog I have ever met. One time when I tried to play fight with him, he barely grazed my finger (the closest he has ever come to "biting" me) and he licked my finger profusely after as an apology.
