Hello all, > > My name is Lisa, my Chi's name is Cali. I got her back in May from a > friend of mine who didn't have time for her anymore. My friend's > min-pins were also picking her and had really inhibited her > personality. > > When Cali came here, she didn't want to eat out of her dog dish, was > terrified of my very large German Shepherd; while my Australian > Shepherd female did exactly the right thing and ignored her, yet Cali > wasn't afraid of the horses. She did have a healthy respect for them, > but I have to watch her and hold her when riders come by as she goes > right up to the horses without any fear! > > It took about a month, but Cali came out of her shell. She realized > she could "bully" my German Shepherd, learned to leave the Aussie > alone too, and found out cats are REALLY fun to play with! (My house > cat had kittens that were just her size and very fearless!) > > She had also come into heat at that time. My friend had said she was > going to breed Cali, but seeing as how Cali had just come to my house, > I wasnt going to put her through that as well! > > Cali comes from a show home...where her daddy was a large Chihuahua > and her momma was smaller. It was an accidental breeding, but I am > glad cause I got Cali out of it! She is a poster Chi dog! While she > hadn't gone many places and met many people when I got her, since I > have had her she goes many, many places, and has calmed down a lot! > She was very afraid of children when I got her, but she even let a > toddler pet her last night! Course he did have french fry grease on > his hands so he smelled good! He offered her a french fry, let her > take a bit off of it, then ate it himself! LOL Classic! :D > > Anyway, she not only allows people to pet her, but she goes up to > them...she is a little scared of feet yet, but that too will fade in > time and as she gets used to being around people in public. > > I look forward to being on the list. Cali may be pregnant now, and I > have nutrition questions to ask from real breeders instead of just > reading articles. I don't know many breeders around here (I live in > Lake County Florida) so I knew I needed a place to go to get good > information. > > Thank you. > > Cali is really coming out of her shell and learning to be a Chi! She > has found out she can terrorize the neighbor's greyhound and goes > under the neighbors gate when we go for walks! My other neighbor has > a Rhodesian Ridgeback and Cali runs along the fence up and back with > her too (Cali keeps up very well with that big dog!!!) She tried to > get the horses to run with her like the Rhodesian Ridgeback, but they > haven't gotten it yet! > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
