Most dogs think they are wolves.
In my area bears are hunted with dogs heavily.
It is not uncommon for small dogs to but the run on a bear.
Poms are fundamentally different. Like little fuzzy pitties in terms of temperament.
Used to have one. All of 7 pounds, counting the fuzz. He spotted a 40 # Spitz walking down “HIS” side of the street in front of the house — at same time someone opened the door. Pom ran out and slid under the Spitz, male Spitz by the way, and bit upward.
Up until then I did not know that Spitz could levitate, like 4 feet off the ground.
From then on the Spitz would still walk down the street but in front of our house he would cross over to the other side, walk, and then cross back to “our” side. Like knowing not to walk in an area marked with mines. Spitz are smart.
Pom was an insufferable little bastid after that.
