Firstly, let me say how thankful I am for this forum. From learning that my Chi is NOT the only one to eat weird things (i.e. Chapstick) to just reading some other posts for some good information.
I'd like to ask the group about their experiences when adding another Chi to the family. Bailey is almost a year old - she is well socialized with our cats and OUR family, but takes awhile to warm up to strangers. She HATES the doorbell or anyone coming in the house. She is a very protective watch dog! She truly hangs ALL OVER me... I am "her pet" and she has made that very apparent. It makes my husband jealous that she's mine! :) (In a good way though... he understands that I am with her for most of the day, so we have that speical connection.) But, like I have heard many Chi owners declare, "They are like potato chips - you can't have just one!" ---So that brings me to trying to find a good fit for Bailey. I was hoping some of you would have some good tips or advice. I don't think she would do well, if I would bring her along to select a puppy -- someone told me that and it just didn't sound right. More likely because I don't think the breeder would allow or appreciate it! So that's pretty much out of the question. I want another female - because past experiences tell me that is the best option for us. (Nothing personal against male dogs, just a personal preference.) I just worry about Bailey's possessiveness - maybe she's a one-dog home puppy? She ignores other dogs when we go for a walk - she could care less about them. But I have never introduced a new puppy (or kitten) to her - it has been Bailey's world since she came into the house 8 months ago! So, yes, she's a bit on the spoiled rotten side... Please help me! Anyone been through the same thing? Be honest, please... let me know if we should just keep spoiling ONLY her...! :) Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend.
