Little dogs are insecure. Not all of them, but the "typical" neurotic ones are. Brinks is fascinated by them no matter how much they act like they want to rip his head off, he takes it as a play invite LOL. I've found little dogs to be like old people. Most are miserable but the ones that are cool are super cool, no in between!

I have had APBT most of my life and my girl Odyssey has gone practically everywhere with me over the past nine years. She is what a pit bull is supposed to be, medium sized and aptly built... not these giant blue overly stocky mastiff mutts that somehow became the poster child for what people imagine when they think of a pit bull. I'm not sure if it's her self assured, calm, friendly demeanor or the fact she is smaller and not a typical color you find pits in commonly but people have for the most part been attracted towards her and I have had only maybe a few instances where someone had something negative to say about pits out of hundreds of encounters. It is quite refreshing. On the other hand, if the subject of dogs comes up and I mention I have a pit bull without her present often the response is not a positive one. This lends me to believe she is a pretty good ambassador.

"Those are ours...what you don't like little dogs?"

I would say that I love little dogs! But I hate out of control, yappy little dogs.

When I got Kali, I became interested in Chihuahuas. I thought maybe one day I'd have a full bred one. But everything I hear about them sounded awful. Almost everyone I talk to talks about how they are yappy little biters. I had someone here one day who told me the same thing. That they walked into a house and the dog latched onto his pant leg LOL and I thought wow okay there must be a different breed in Kali's mix that made the combination so much better! She is so friendly and honestly thinks everyone loves her. When someone comes to the door, yes, she can be yappy. She'll be barking, but her tail is a blur and her ears are back and she's just a wiggle butt! Constant movement. Then when they come in she is a little jumping bean! Up and down, up and down, up and down, wiggle butt, wiggle butt, wiggle butt, please pet me, please pet me, please pet me. She is a happy little dog and I love that about her. The only time I think she might nip is if someone tried to pick her up. Most people don't know how to pick up a little dog. One lady tried to pick her up under her arms and she squealed and acted like she wanted to bite her. I knew it was only because she was in pain or fearful.

Anyway I often wonder about the snappy Chihuahua syndrome and wonder if I could have raise a full bred Chihuahua to be like Kali.


I know there is one house who must have a friend who brings two chihuahuas once in a while because I've seen them when a friend and I have walked down the road. These two will come running at us, barking. I will turn around and give them the old Cesar stare and they will stop and back down. If I step toward them they run. LOL so not that brave. Just pretending.

Do you have a picture of her?

 

[Brioddy]

Oh... yes.









She's always right at around 50 lbs.

absolutely!! I think it is all in the training and how you expose them to situations. Kali is the perfect example that you can train. I have met a lot of chihuahuas that are actually sweet well behaved dogs because the owners took the time to train them.

This morning was foggy and drizzly but we took our walk anyway. The temperature was 51 so it was really kind of fun.



Of course, we all came back a little wet. The bottom 4 inches of my blue jeans were wet and of course the dogs needed a good toweling off.

One mis-chew away from a 'teeth hug' to the thigh Whatever Rubie is chewing on HAS to be in contact with a human leg. She props is right up on a shin/thigh/ankle/knee cap and goes to town.



Think it's about time to get of this chewy, anyway. Getting a little small for my comfort level.

I'l have to get a pic.
Ricky has trained my wife to hold his nylabone while he stands next to her and chews it.

If I hold anything of his he wants me to throw it or give it back. Lol

Yuk Face.

Yesterday I was out in the horse barn with the dogs when I heard Kali barking in the tack room. I went in there and saw it she was zeroing in on a spot under the dresser. I realized that she probably caught a mouse. So I started moving it away from tge wall and two of them ran out! I'm yelling for her to 'get it!' "get it!" and she's running around like a cat trying to catch it! LOL finally it ran under something and we lost it. But there was another one and I couldn't find where it went either.

Finally, she was barking again and I realized it was INside this vacuum! I moved the vacuum to the middle of the room, banged on it, and turned it around but nothing would come out. It was in there for sure! She's was there for over an hour, barking at it, pawing at it, with her little tail a blur LOL she wanted it bad. But I finally had to go back to the house to make dinner and we had to leave it. I'm sure she's going to be busy in there this morning when I get out there!

Kaizer does this too! Drives me nuts. I've been stabbed by several chews now and sometimes it really hurts, lol. He's also missed a few times and gotten me instead of the bone. Ouch! So I've taken to throwing them across the room whenever he tries to use me as a toy holder ... I'm not too sure that was the right approach as he usually happily trots off to get them and brings them right back.

Hahahah whoops oh well I was in a bit of a rush today lol
Hahahaha I love the colors of those reins and I don't need gloves with them lol
I've had that bridle for 10 years lol I don't remember what it is lol

 

[Brioddy]

I would bet money it is, I say this because I swear I had the same one down to the last detail. I used it for years as a schooling bridle and none of the keepers liked to do their job, but the bridle itself was hardy.
