I would be wary of letting a dog as small as a Chihuahua run free with other dogs no matter how safe, unless of course they are a similar size. Accidents can happen all too easily and larger dogs can so easily hurt a tiny dog without meaning to.
and again I agree you do have to be cautious regarding other dogs and accidents.. but as Poppy has a tendency to be scared of other dogs I want to socailse her, her main off lead walk is done in an enclosed area usually with no other dogs in there.. in the main park she does have a few playmates that are small and older so they aren't too hectic
