Thanks for the information. I’ve been out of the gun acquisition game for a couple of decades, so I’m not up on a lot of the currently available models. I have fired .410 semi-autos myself, and also some O/U doubles.

However, I still maintain that the .410 semi-autos are not common, relative to other gauges. The gentleman who shot the chihuahua may indeed have used a .410 semi-auto, but I’m also familiar with the media’s habit of sensationalizing and overly dramatizing gun stories with inaccurate jargon. Absent further evidence I don’t know if the story was accurate. I was simply voicing some personal skepticism. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been wrong... /g

That’s one mean old man.

I agree (unless this was an ongoing problem that the old man had warned his neighbor about).

Faux Paw?

My friend’s male toy Yorkshire Terrier mated with her female Pit Bull Terrier. She’s looking for homes for the litter of “freaks of nature,” as she calls them.

I’d like to see a picture of a toy Pit York. What do you get, teacup dogs who will bite off your finger?

I would never kill a neighors dog but I do have to say I’ve just about had it with the Chihuahua next door. The d@mned thing cr@ps where the car doors open in the driveway and one day when we left the outside basement door open it cr@ped down there too! GRRRRRR!

[chris_bdba]

Yes he would’ve because a female in heat will lay down if the male can’t reach her.

You think the little guy would have managed to impregnate the female several times his size?

You never know...

No reason whatsoever to have a Chihuahua in Alaska.

There.

“No reason whatsoever to have a Chihuahua in Alaska.

There.”

They are notorious for barking at the faintest sound. That could be useful for a burglar alarm or to warn of wild critters in the area.

[gundog]

That would be one very difficult mating.

Had to laugh at the "insurmountable" line.

My 8 lb Maltepoo’s first love was a 100lb chocolate lab. She thought he was a nuisance- he was ambitious. He still favors large females. I guess he likes a challenge.
