I'm not calling the dogs weird. Actually IMO they are pretty cool dogs. I'm calling that fact that they can explain why their legs are short, weird.

So they Yap a lot?

[hermhater]

Not a lot.

Just when someone gets within 50' of my house.

That's a good thing.

Small dogs are underrated.

I'd rather have a small dog that will alert you to take care of a situation yourself, rather than using the dog to take care of the situation.

Why put your dog at risk?

That's just selfish.

So hide the dog and put my family at risk? Or get a dog that barks and watches while someone breaks into my house?


Crime is pretty low where I live so really my dog mostly just eats and sleeps, so whos the selfish one?? :)

[dbolan]

What is not wierd about them? LMAO!

[hermhater]

They are rather weird, they get it from their owners though.

But they are still awesome.

We just finally started leaving them out of their kennel when we go to work yesterday.

They love not being cooped up.

My dogs are the same way.

[hermhater]

They look at me with those pitiful eyes when I leave in the morning and it's so nice not to have to put them in a cage.

[Canada]

You put your dogs in a cage? That is so selfish.

[hermhater]

I don't put them in a cage anymore.

They've learned what it takes not to be kenneled.
