chi and...?
I'll admit it...my chihuahua isn't 100% pure chihuahua. He is 1/8th of something else, a md. size dog. I really can't remember the breed. They say that's where he got his height (he's a bit bigger than most chihuahuas, but not huge), and his curly tail. Any ideas as to what the...

"mean dogs"
I was just curious if other people who own so called "aggressive breeds" are discriminated against for their well behaved dogs (especially pits, rotts, GSDs, dobies,etc) I am absolutley appalled at the reactions i get towards my very friendly, well behaved GSD. Many people at the park near...

What breeds do you think she is?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I love the site! I have had a little 16 lb. terrier mix named Penny for 2 1/2 years now. I adopted her from the local shelter. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what kind of mix she is. My vet has suggested schnauzer and dachshund (she has a long back). This...
