Is that really how the breed what described to you?? Besides the fact that it's not a Chinese dog at all, that sounds to me like one of these made-up designer dogs that they convince people are "rare" special breeds worth lots of money. What they usually tend to be are inbred, undersized dogs that are outside the normal breed standard and thus not showable or normally of breedable quality for AKC purposes. It's quite a little racket, and you'll find many internet sites selling such dogs at outrageous prices. So for your friend's sake, I hope they didn't get taken in like that. As for whether your other dog will be "jealous" I doubt that. He may want to be in with the other dog, but for socialization and to be able to play with him (or herd him around) rather than out of jealousy that he gets to be in the house. Just by the by....sounds like you use "rat" as a degrading term....I find rats to be amazingly fun and tough little critters. Definitely as rodents go, they are fairly high up there in intelligence and playfulness. So a furry rat sounds like a great pet to me. ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296892 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
