Their mom is a labdrador: they lick children and eat everything not nailed down.
I have a chorkie (wawa/yorkie mix) and she licks children too. Just children. Not adults. I can not figure out why. If my nephew gets near her, she will lick his face until we force them apart. And she does it whether his face is clean or not. Does she know they are young ones and want to clean them?

I hope this is not a hunting dog, or there is going to be some serious conflict in the future.
(I was going to say itty bitty wingie at first, but knowing the sense of humour some of us are possessed by, I thought it might go in an unexpected direction.)
I love duckie posts cos I know Duckie will always have something insightful to say!
