I’m not a big fan of tiny, yappy, dogs. I prefer my canine friends to weigh about 35 lbs or more.
But, I have to give credit to the Chihuahua. Most of the ones I have met have been completely fearless. They have the attitude and bearing of a much larger dog.
“But, I have to give credit to the Chihuahua.”
I have one that is 1/2 Chihuahua and 1/2 Border Terrier...the crazy dog in “There’s Something about Mary”. The movie.
Talk about fierce! He has charged a 150lb Rottweiler...and cowed him. He made the Rott beta.
The Rott is next door and then the dogs are together the Rott dutifully follows my Sam dog.
Because Sam is alpha. At 16lbs of muscle and balls.
My Cane Corso weighs 190, my Boerbal 165, and my Neapolitan Mastiff 115. I also have a few ankle biters in the 5 to 15 pound range. I pity any unsuspecting coyote that gets into my yard.
