Having owned two Chi's, I can assure you that their size is just right for their temperament. If they were any bigger...
This includes Min-pins. One little shit bit my thumb and left a tooth-sized hole in the nail that took months to heal.
Agreed. My son and his wife have a rescue Chi, and those little fuckers are rescues for a reason. Over the last 5 years it has bitten me three times, and I have made it very clear that if it happens again I will dig the hole.
