Is this a stack picture?

I'm gonna star feeding Precious raw!! Once she finishes her bag of blue buffalo. I've talked to people on here http://preymodelraw.com/ who have helped me out a lot! They have a page where it gives step by step direction to get started and I'm really excited! So I'm taking a lot more pictures of Precious so I can do a before and after and show how much better she got!
I'll post some pictures of her gross teeth soon, We might bring her to our groomer to get them cleaned (most likely, her teeth are terrible!)

    Oh God
    I need to stop going on FB
    I've just seen someone attempting to sell a twelve week old lurcherxcollie pup for £60 because he "didn't get along with my son". Apparently the poor pup didn't like the kid fussing with him. She couldn't sell him so gave him to Dogs Trust.
    Why not try to sort out your kid and tell him to stop, instead of giving away your dog? Not to mention he should still have been with his mother.

    I thought 8 weeks was the average to bring a pup home, so surely twelve isn't underage at all?

    But it is a ridiculous reason to rehome a puppy.
    Sounds like they were going through the puppy blues and instead of dealing with it just went the easier option.

those nights when your friends are gone,

those nights when you crave someone
to be there at dawn, to wake with, 'cause aren't we all just
looking for a little bit of hope these days?

In some places around the world, 12 weeks is much more the norm than 8 :)

Personally, I'm not sure if I want any puppy under 10 weeks again. Creed has got to be the most well rounded puppy I've had, and I got him at 13/14 weeks.

    It's like cats; he should be with his mother to learn the correct behaviour for interacting with others ^^ 8 might be the average (especially on FB omg) but it's just not right for healthy, developed puppies with the correct social skills. The longer they're kept with the mother, the better for everyone.

I got Lola at 7 1/2 weeks {Hated that shelter omg}
and I got very lucky with her.

Goldy I got at 10 weeks, and
she was very well rounded,
and learned a lot from her
mother {Even though she
was a BYB dog, the bitch
was actually a pretty great
dog.}

I got Bo at 8 weeks and he
was a nightmare. Not to
mention he died of heart
failure at 8, he was just
insane and SSA too.

Has Anyone Ever Met a Family Friendly Chihuahua? Random.

Postby Comets » Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:40 am

The Chihuahau.


So my curiosity has dawned on me today, a random topic. The little creatures titled Chihuahua. I have grown up around many dogs and the only canine I have ever had trouble with are these little guys. From guarding my own clothes from me with snaps and growls, to refusing to let me sit next to good company on the couch. Their fragile always scared looking selves never seeming totally at ease with the world. But surely there has to be someone, somewhere out there that has met a chihuahua that has actually been an upstanding canine citizen and loved the world. With the help of a good owner who actually understands them. I'd love to hear stories of such to debunk the ever seemingly ferocious little fuzzballs. Feel free to share here your wondrous tales of the Chihuahua who could.

Please note this is in no way to start any arguments and mostly meant to be silly. Be nice to each other.

Chewie got a new bandana! Well technically it was won for him.... My rat Baze came in 2nd place at a pet costume contest. Since it was geared towards dogs, the prize pack was dog things. So he gave it up to his big brother Chewie.
