Hi Mieke! I don't think I have ever met you before. Belgium....wow that is so interesting.
My name is Peggy and I have two rescues, Princess is a Mini American Eskimo
and Gigi is a LH, 6 1/2 lbs. Princess will be about 7, on May 30 and Gig
about 7 on July 18. Princess was found on the streets by Animal Control, and
placed in a Shelter which is where I found her when she was under 2 yrs old.
Gigi originates from a Backyard breeder and I rescued her last summer.
I really don't know much about your country, but would love to hear about it
Do you have a lot of Chi's in shelters and Rescue homes, like we sadly have
here? What are the most popular dog breeds in Belgium?
How many chi's do you have? I would love to see pics of them and learn all
about them too.
I remember once reading that the European people are much more open about
such matters as you mentioned in another post. For me and others that I know
that are more reserved, I believe the reason is that as Christians we are
taught to be reserved as this is what the Good Lord instructs us to do in
the Bible which is His Word. I think for others here in the states that are
not as reserved about such matters may be because they do not have strong
Christian beliefs, even if they too claim to a Christian, they are not
living the life of one. Different folks.....Different strokes, or so they
say. JMO
Hope you enjoy the group,
Peggy & The Girls

Hello Cate welcome here. Sorry to hear you had to go true such an ordeal. I
learned that you have to be very carefull in what to share in groups and
what not depending on the country and believes. Until now I have never
encountered a problem here. I don't write a lot as I also live abroad in
Belgium and many food products, meds, shelters and law issue's are unknown
to me. But I hope you will feel welcome here.

Hi my name is Cate, I reside in Australia and proudly own 3 purebred
chihuahuas. I have had rather a bad experience trying to join a previous
yahoo group in the recent week, was harrassed by the moderator because she
didnt like my answers on the pending membership form..which included a new
litter of pups and an intact male (which has now been neutered) I was blamed
and shamed and hounded literally even to the point where the moderator was
going to contact my place of work where she tracked me down on facebook..
all this has left me bewildered as to what the groups actually stand for..I
thought sharing experiences and gaining knowledge would be the framework of
a group of this nature. We do not have a high rate of dumping in the country
town where i reside nor in the bigger capital cities of our state.. All I
want to do is to join a group and learn and share information on this highly
individual breed..thank you
