Chachi looks like he might be Corgi and Taco Bell's ankle-biter....

Close. Taco Bell is in his genes, but the other component is Pomeranian. His ears are pure Chihuahua - he is known as a "designer" dog, a "PomChi".

Mama_Bear is that the little cutie that you had in the playpen at the FReeper picnic last Fall? Sure is a cute little rascal and sure has grownl!!

Yes, that's him. Almost all grown up. We are the proud parents of a PomChi going through his difficult "teenage" years. We are just crazy about him, but what a challenge this head-strong little guy is sometimes! We start intermediate classes with him at PetsMart next week. I have little hope that a whole lot is going to change though. He will do anything we ask him to do when we have treats to give him. When we don't, his attitude is "forget it! Not doing it and you can't make me". LOL. (Of course, we DO make him, but it has no effect at all on the next time we show up treatless and give him a command.)

I didn't realize chachi had pom in him. After the empty nest my parents got a pom.. loved that little fuzz ball so much. I am thinking that if I come across a rescue(like free) I would get it for my mom. As she is bed ridden, she would love the little one for more company.. cats are cute & wonderful pets, but "limited" in their interaction as compared to dogs.

Does chachi bark a lot? that is what I recall about my folks dog.. barked all the time.. high shrill.

I have been fortunate so far my dogs aren't truly barkers.. if someone at door, come to yard, approach car(even cops)..yes but those are good "watch dog" types of barks.

The last year Oliver barked more in car at all.. cyclists, runners, cows & horses (we live rural).
