An interesting new breed discrimination... With an unlikely victim.

So I am just gonna go ahead and ruin the question for you. We picked up 3 dogs from the shelter today (we do rescue work), My boss was able to take the first two and I had to come get the other one since she was very dog aggressive. The dogapos;s we picked up were a Rottie, a Lab and a Chihuahua - and the question I posed to several of my close friend via text message was which of the dogs was dog aggressive. Hereapos;s what my friends came up with:


Which of these do you think was dog aggressive?
Rottie: 2
Lab: 2
Chihuahua: 11

Now most my friends know me well enough to know that a text like that from me would mean that it WASNapos;T the obvious stereotyped Rottie. So no, it wasnapos;t the Rottie

But wow, Chihuahua - 11 people, thatapos;s pretty overwhelming.

It was the Lab, FYI

It seems that Chihuahua are the smallest breed affected by Breed Discrimination. Thanks to people like Paris Hilton and the like sporting "Purse Dogs" and making the breed "trendy" a lot of the owners of the breed donapos;t have them for the right reasons. This is JUST LIKE having a Pit Bull for fighting, or having a Pit Bull for protection. It is a SELFISH reason to own a dog and usually results in the dog not being properly trained or cared for, resulting in numerous bites and an all around bad rap for the breed.

I have seen it in some apartments already; Chihuahuas being included on the "Dangerous Dogs" list that are not allowed in the complex. Many of people who support breed bands support them on the ground that the dogs they are banning are capable of killing a person. Okay? Well then how to do you explain Chihuahuas? You canapos;t. Which brings me to the question? What Breed is next? If they ban one breed - they can ban whatever breed they want to so whatapos;s next? Corgis? Border Collies?

Meet Cha Cho



Cha Cho is my cousinapos;s dog. He was originally her dog, then our dog for six months after her no pet apartment caught her with a dog. So my family basically raised him until my cousin moved into a place that allowed dogs. He is the sweetest damn thing ever and I love him to death. I have been biten by Chihuahuas A LOT at work, so donapos;t get me wrong, but itapos;s the same as pit bulls - itapos;s not the dog, itapos;s the owner.

Any dog can bite
Any breed can be aggressive

Itapos;s all in how you raise them...
