Good Afternoon

[Giant Hogweed]

Welcome and great to make your acquaintance.

Lots of lively discussions here.



Speaking of dogs- l miss the Chihuahua Terrier mix l once had. Smartest dog ever. Chica was her name.

I'm not a fan of small dogs, although I do like dachshunds. Do you have a dog now?

 

[Aspychata]

No, not currently. But thanks for asking. Do you have any furry friends?

I had a greyhound. They are the best dogs. How did yours do in races? Mine won at the lower level. They are fully trained athletes when you get them and totally trained! Best dogs Oh, and welcome! Many here are of similar profiles with introvert scores.

I don't agree with greyhound racing. My dogs didn't know how to play. They didn't know what stairs were so I had to teach them not to be afraid of stairs. They were traumatised and both had injuries. They are happy now though.

@Aspychata

yes, I have met a few chi-terrier mixes now through my work (we see them more now as they are a designer breed "thing") they are all very clever but not the easiest dogs - I dont recommend them necessarily as beginner dogs - I usually suggest Bolonkas But I love my tiny terror - he keeps up with the horses like a big 'un!

@Giant Hogweed - I am also not a fan of greyhound racing (like any sport involving animals where others aspects tend to dominate welfare) but I have seen good effects from non-competitive coursing to produce well adjusted dogs that show less hunting tendencies when out walking - a sort of compensation effect

Yes, most of us who rescue them do not agree with racing. We rescue them from the practice because they used to shoot the dogs.
