“Our dog is less than 10 lbs Lhasa Apso”
I kinda talked about these dogs before. They are mostly unhinged psychopaths and lash out at everyone who isn’t their owner.
I’ve had both types and these types of dogs are more akin to rodents than dogs. Ferrets, hamsters and the like.
I have an opinion on everything though so feel free to ignore me :)
I had dogs before though. And I love dogs, I really do. I love cats and all of god’s creatures. Except snakes. And insects. I have no clue why people keep these things. But I digress; dogs aren’t a good fit everyone. In fact, they aren’t a good fit for most. Their cage is the size of whatever your home is, they rely on you for every thing they get - which is not in their nature - and they revert to feral very quickly. Like Raccoon quickly. Of which a friend of mine has a few raccoons and they are cute but they are wild.
And they are just about the same thing as dogs.
This is our 2nd Lhasa dog. The first one lived 14 years and this 2nd one is already 14 and going strong.
Both dogs were great watch dogs since their hearing is very keen due to excessive hair covering their eyes, I suppose.
Both dogs have never attacked any visitors, and will actually sit on laps of visitors after about 5 minutes time lapse when the dogs had a chance to assess the visitors.
All dogs are a product of their environment and how they were treated. If dogs have suffered mal-treatment during their life, they will become nasty. If dogs are treated with love and kindness throughout their life, they will return the favor. After 28 years with these dogs of ours, it is easy to conclude that simple fact.
Lastly, a 10 pound dog is unlikely to be able to cause any serious damage to anyone weighing over 20 lbs.
