Welcome to the group. I own a pack of rescued dogs including 11 Mon old Alice
who I got about 4 mos ago and 4yr old Monte who I adopted almost 9 weeks ago. I
have been doing dog rescue for over 30 yrs and used to train, show and title in
AKC and Schutzhund/PP. Now I work nights and weekends so just title dogs to
CGCs when I adopt them and get their TTs when I can. Unfortunately Chihuahuas
are the second highest breed to be euthanized in shelters and Florida where I
live is overflowing with them. Monte is only 4yrs old, 4.5 lbs, housebroken,
very outgoing and social with kids, dogs and people plus got his CGC with 7
weeks of training and first place in his class for his drug sniffing trick. But
he was going to be dead in 2 days nonetheless when my g/f and I went to the
shelter to look at another dog. So I adopted him, on sale for $50..lol... and
when he proved to be such a great dog and Alice's playmate decided he could
stay.
