Hello Ric, I read your story and I would like to know if it was difficult for you to "convince " your dogs to accept each other. Why? I have a female yellow lab, she is 1.5 years old and we have tried to keep the Chihuahuas (not at ground level) and her in the same area for 5 min at a time and the biggest problem is that the little Chis don't like the lab but they absolutely love each other ( they are 2 and 3 years old). I am amazed when you say your German Sheppard likes the tiny dogs like a mommy would. Then I read the story a new rescue dog.I think you might have some information some of us can find of huge use. For me is not huge problem, because the Chihuahuas are in my home office and with me most of the time, while the lab goes to work with my Hubby. I still think it would be great to have a doggy day with all of them in the backyard peacefully.
Thanks Julia PS. I liked the part when your doggy became a citizen, so cute. -- --- In [email protected], "Ric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > > I am new to the group, Ric from Las Vegas.
