The only thing with a Pomeranian, they own the house.
Good alarm dog, but once you are in, they are friendly.
Independent, smart, quick learners, like to bark, obstinate. When they are young, they like to run, an open door for a second and they are gone, this gets a lot better once they are older.
Ours acts more like a cat sometimes, up on back of couch, then lay there and look out the window.
Mark, that's kind of what I'm afraid of with a chihuahua. And of course I know both my wife and I would get attached to any dog we get and it'd be tough if or when something happened to it.
I just don't want a long haired dog. If I did, we'd get a maltese. But I really thing that IF we get a dog, we'd be better off with a rat terrier, or at least we would if it were anything like the last one we had. Buster loved everyone and everything. He'd play with anyone or any animal that would play with him and didn't want to hurt any of them.
Bird, My sister inherited an 11 wk old Chihuahua 4 months ago. We think she came from a puppy mill because she had fleas and worms. She is fine now. Litter box trained. Not “yappyâ€Â. Very social with a sweet disposition. Loves people. Gets along great with her “big brotherâ€Â, a much larger 14 yr old mixed breed, and with her “cousin†a Boston Terrier puppy. DH has never been one for small breeds but Lola has won his heart. This first pic is Lola 4 months ago.
This second pic is Lola at yesterday's Christmas celebration.
Welcome to one of the friendliest spots to visit with folks. About your pet rat... Cute but I keep expecting to hear it say, "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" Cute ads but too much after a few jillion repeats. Totally unfair but it primed many of us to have an entirely different attitude toward the cute lil things.

Just noticed this article.
FREMONT, Calif. - A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said.

Pat: Thank you for the "welcome". Been a quiet member for several years. It took a thread about man's best friend for me to finally speak up. [img]/forums/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] DH and I really appreciate all the info everyone shares on CBN and TBN. Happy New Year to all.
Lola looks like exactly what my wife would like to have.
Hey, Bird. My parents have been owned by one for about 15 years now. She has always been a "one-family" dog, meaning fine with us but if you are a stranger- don't come near! This dog is now blind, but can still find the food bowl. She weighs about 15 pounds, and we call her the watermelon on legs. With that much water in her, you'd think she was one to let go a lot. Nope. Good bladder on that one. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Yep, Bret, I've known some of those "one family" dogs and there are some advantages to that, but I'd prefer one that's friendly with everyone.
