I am on my second service dog both Golden Retrievers. The first came from an organization, the second trained by myself. It insults people when I say that their dog 's intelligence or what it can do is limited only by how far we take it or require of our dogs. If you work with a dog their limitation is only because of our limitation or how far we take them.
Dogs can be taught near anything YOU put your mind into. It is no accident I have a good dog or hat she can do for me. Both of my dogs learned to Quad cough me while in bed. They do know what they are doing but their behavior on command works for me. Merrill _____ From: John S.

Dogs can be remarkably intuitive but I can't help believe it is the trainer that develops the dog in ways we call smart. My great Aunt had a Chihuahua that sat at the table and made small talk. I've seen dogs trained to sniff drugs but my aunt's dog with sit in front of whoever in the room had the most paper money. Which dog is smarter? An IQ test is a lot like how they use to weigh pigs in Louisianna. They would set a plank over a beam and set the pig on one side and balance the plank with rocks from a pile they had. When the pig balanced they would guess the weight of the rocks. john ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Jacobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Silas Shelburne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 6:25:37 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] To Dave O" and any other Chihuahua Owners Border Collie is the smartest of all dogs.....Standard Poodle is next......Great Dane is #48......so I'm a Service Person for her. ----- Original Message ----- From: Silas Shelburne <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [email protected] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 12:13 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] To Dave O" and any other Chihuahua Owners Lol.

Do you know how large it is expected to be, according to its parents. I have always wondered what a Chihuahua would be like as a pet, I have a female, 5 pound Yorkie that just turned four years old and I really love her as a companion. Zoe likes to be on my lap and she will lay on top of my phone and iPod. She loves it when I don't have my Plexiglas on my lap and she can have it to herself. The person I have gone to for my nails as a small Chihuahua about the same size as Zoe, that is really cute that she sometimes has in her shop. She is afraid of my dog that is on my lap, she hides under the tables but they don't bark at each other. Keep us posted on your little daughter. What is her name? Dana Dave, so your little dog is not fixed yet. I have heard that little boys like to do that. I only had little girls. What is his name? Dana I really like my 2 guys. my 'stud' needs a fix which is in the pipeline - when he gets started, nobody is safe. poor little guy runs around humping thin air. the breed is very ferocious around strangers, my guys go after pit bulls and great danes. also, anybody entering your house needs to be careful and not turn their backs to them right away. mine sleep with me, they love to cuddle at night thus making it very hard to roll over. All in all, I would definitely recommend this breed - they are very attentive companions and make great intruder alerts. AZDAVE In a message dated 2/20/2008 5:43:26 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi , all interested and Dave...Since I know you Own Chihuahua's ;-) My youngest Daughter and I talked about getting a small dog since all we ever owned is medium to large Dog's our entire lives., and our old guard and family watchdog-- A boxer named Tazz is almost 12 years old and probably will not live much longer- . Well my daughter surprized me the other night with a Tiny Light Fawn colored baby Chihuahua puppy. It is the cutest little thing ! with big ole upright ears. She only weighs 2 pounds and the Vet said today, she is in perfect health. Of all the puppies we have ever had, she seems so smart and playful and catches on quick-----even the vet said she seemed extremely intelligent for her age ( about 10 weeks ) . She has been fun the last few day's and I told my Daughter we may get another one for a companion in the future since they are so small and She wants to own one and me and wife own one. ANYWAY---Sorry so long of letter ! But do you Dave -or anyone else have any advice on this breed??? Thanks, Dan H.
