LOL - I got totally crazy over Budgies about 5 years ago - I have 2 lovely ones. They are standard size - not Show/English. Rio is 3 1/2 - a pale blue with a white head & Bow is 2 - a skyblue yellowface so yellow his blue is now green except in small areas. They are a lot of fun - we have them out of the cage all day - mostly they stay in their room on top of their cage or gym - but they get so excited when someone comes home. Bow loves to ride around on my shoulder - all day if I let him. Rio is always pulling my hair so he can kiss my cheek. All this is pretty much untrained!
I really hope a small dog won't be a problem with them - I hope I can train the dog to leave them alone. I'll be in trouble & upset if a new pet causes problems :( ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 1:58:26 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Budgies? I adore them, once had a champion talker named Bunkie, I have hours of tape of him talking and carrying on conversations with me. He lived 6 yrs and I miss him still. Gloria -----Original Message----- From: jacehomeart <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 10:27 am Subject: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Ears - Is there a corrct size? Head shape - I like both but was puzzled when I saw the differences. When someone mentioned the 'fox' head I was intrigued - had only ever heard of the 'apple'. If nothing else the standard for Chihuahuas seems to be a healthy mix. I have noticed that some breeders have the smaller eared dogs and they tend to be 'apple heads'. Some dogs seem to have really big ears- all are seriously cute. Nice for us owners - we can have a choice. It all seems moot as I will be getting a rescue - but already I can see all the variations. Coats, ears, head, colouring.....makes me think they are more like my Budgies LOL
