Awwww, RIP Amos!

I always remember the story where a woman’s chihuahua saved her from a mugging by leaping from her arms and latching on to the mugger’s throat - good doggie! I guess they can do some damage if they are so inclined.

Right. Big dogs running with Chihuahuas. More media BS. What you have here is a pack of big dogs and some Chihuahuas running with them. If it was really just a “pack” of Chihuahuas, just punting a couple of ‘em would solve the “pack” problem.

I’d probably use a shotgun, but the little devils would certainly sharpen my marksmanship skills if I used those.

Not sure, but I think that it is illegal to shoot undocumented dogs.

We have one and she’s a monster. 10 lbs of fighting fury. Nobody gets near the house without getting busted by Coco.

One night the pit bull next door got loose and was at our gate. Coco charged the gate and the pittbull layed down, rolled on its back and would not move until Coco finally realeased it by walking away. Hysterical! :-)
