    @Ninabeana26:

    For some reason people always hear Dallas' name & assume he's a she. I didn't realize that Dallas sounded like a female name…hmmm...

    & I actually was asked in Petsmart on Saturday if Dallas was a chihuaua!!!! I had heard the more common mistakes like a fox terrier, jack russell, etc. but a chihuahua?!? Come on people!!!

    I think Dallas is a real boy's name!

    And about the chihuahua.. They really do look like them…:p

    Only about 15 lbs. too big! Dallas could eat a chihuahua…and probably would if I'd let him. LOL

    Haha.. same with Mirtillo…

    We have two Chi's in the neighborhood. They drive me crazy with their barking... So happy that Mirtillo only lets out a yodel now and then :D

    I have a neutered male and people always mistake him for a female - I assume because they dont see any dangling "monkey brains" ….lol.

    In general, aren't females smaller in frame than males? I have noticed that females are usually smaller. But as mentioned by someone, if ppl arent familiar with the breed they wont know the difference.

    Wow , so fast, their back half of their body can hardly get up with their front. I didn't realise they moved so fast, you can see the dogs love doing it. Jolanda and Kaiser

    @Shaye's: My granddaughter has a one year old son who has just been walking recently - when he is in our home, both my B's back away from him - I do believe it's because of the eye level contact. When Evan is on the floor, neither dog minds sniffing him and being around him, but when he is on his feet, they become wary. At that point, everyone is watching very closely - any sign of the wrong kind of contact, and they would be put into a separate room. So far, so good - but children do sometimes have a different kind of energy that makes dogs nervous, so to be safe if your dog shows aggression, hire a behaviorist, and separate them until they learn. The most likely reason is the way in which they move. It is kind of hurkey-jerky, and unpredictable…dogs don't like that much. And they naturally stare at things that are interesting. Little kids also don't have much sense about when it is okay to reach out towards a dog, and when it isn't. Most adults have grown to be able to read a dog even a little, and if the dog looks nervous, they don't reach out...but kids, nope..they reach out no matter what :) Again, dogs can't predict what they will do, and their typical warnings don't stop a child. I have always said, the trouble with dogs and kids doesn't happen when you bring the baby home...it is when the baby starts walking!

    I have a freind who really hates dogs barking, and went out and got one. She has severe OCD on top of it all. She is completely obsessive about the dogs behaviors and complains about it EVERYDAY. One minute she loves on the dog and the next she talks about how she can't wait to give it away. She also complains about why she even got a dog. I don't know why and I can't take it anymore, just be done with it. It has become an obsession with her. Not a Good one but a bad one. By the way when she complains about the dog, it's usually her fault because she won't listen to anyone (myself included) when it comes to dogs she knows nothing. But she is stubborn! Again, I can't take it anymore…....I feel better! o.k. I feel better
