Chihuahuas anyone?

Now this is a nice Christmas Story. If anyone wants a cool little dog as a companion, it looks like they are available. It is not often that purebread dogs need rescuing. If you want something bigger, how about a greyhound.

Nice Story,Barry. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see, there are Kind people out there, who love Dogs.
Wondering why,only Chihuahuas?
There are lots of small breed Dogs, that desperately need a Home.

 

It seems that there is a glut of the little guys in California ever since they started appearing in movies. As soon as that happens everyone becomes a breeder. I doubt that there will be a show dog among them just happy puppies.

 

Weren't Chihuahuas originally breeded in Mexico, like the city name Chihuahua, don't know if they are as popular in the UK, I wouldn't get one, think I'd prefer a Greyhound over a Chihuahua, but a dog I'd really like to have is either a Collie (Think thats right?) or a Yorkshire Terrier.

 

You know how to make yourself welcome!!

 

there was just a thing on the news about the little rats, being in overabundance here in Arizona too

 

Yeah sure do

Yeah maybe they do look like little rats with photos like this

 

Aaaah, the wee puppy can't even see yet because he's so young - cute!!!

And what a lovely story about the rescued animals! I have a wee theory that as part of the school curriculum, each class should spend a day at their local SPCA each year, caring for and seeing the sadness involved in abandoned and mistreated animals. Perhaps it would help teach all of us that adopting/buying a pet is not the same as returning a new coat if we don't like it or get bored. Huge gentle sigh.

 

I know this may seem cruel and animal lovers will shiver at the thought, but I think that before anyone should own a pet they should have to put one down.

also with the micro chip technology that they have now days anyone found guilty of abandoning or breading without a licence should be ..........

 

My mum has a long haired tri coloured chiwawa (I say it like that as I always forget the spelling) he is very old though now 19years (human years)

I want a husky when my youngest lad grows up (big enough not to be eaten by him )

 

I don't think you ever need worry that a husky would think your little one was a 'snack' - although, granted, even wee doggies can give a wicked bite - eek!

Granted I'm biased, but a husky seems to automatically recognize the 'pack order' and would literally give it's life to protect a little one in it's care.

The problem we have over here is when some people are told they are buying a husky but, in reality, they are getting an animal that is a little husky and a heck of a lot of wolf. But that said, even with all the huge warnings we have, I've had a huge furry friend that was undoubtedly mostly wolf/bit of husky mix - and one couldn't have had a better friend and she 'rode off into the sunset' with three little girls hanging around her neck and riding her back like a 'horsey'.

Gosh, Dalo - what does your mom feed her little four legged friend??! It's wonderful that it's 19 years old!!!

 

I would own these two Puppies in a heartbeat,even though I am a Cat Lover.
Don't go much on Chihuahua's, all that much.

Are they ever cute!!! Imagine their food bills compared to kitty cats

 

Certainly cute puppies , I assume the food bills wouldn't be much different at first but once they are fully grown (maybe 2-3 years old?), by then it would probably go sky rocketing.

I watched this video yesterday, shes a very smart Yorkie, look how long she stands on her back legs - [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U910CBXLRs"]YouTube- Smartest Yorkie Puppy Ever! Such A Yorkshire Terrier Dog[/ame]

I wonder if BeeCeeBee Yorkie obeys as well as this?, or even knows any tricks?

 

My "little" Yorkie is about 5 times that one's size. However she knows the best trick of all; How to rap me around her middle paw pad.

Mokey sits, stays and comes (when she believes it to be in her best interest.) We also have a number of games that we play and that she knows by name. Her favorite is called "a punch in the nose." It is played with a nose a fist and a squeaky toy. (I guess you just have to be there.)
