Currently a Shi tzu that I took from a family that left him outside on a chain. This dog was a mess when I got him. I was ready to smack the original owners around because of the condition this dog was in. It was a year old when I took him, now he is six. I took him home gave him a bath and cut his hair. The poor guy could hardly see. He hated me but loved everyone else for some reason. Now he goes where I go. Very smart dog and has become my buddy. I have always had Irish Setters or lab/retriever type dogs so it was a learning lesson with a small dog. He still has an issue with dark haired women, which his original owner was a dark haired woman. So I guess it is just a defense mechanism or something. I have worked with him to quit but he completely turns to a different dog when a dark haired woman comes around. It only happens once in awhile so I am guessing it might have something to do with smell as well.

Great dogs, owned two. I live in FL neither have had any problem with the heat but be prepared for tumbleweed if he lives in the house.

1 Tortie cat. Next one will be a short hair male cat. Female cats are inferior to male cats, and female long hairs are even worse.

I have an 11 year old jrt/rat terrier mix and she is my favorite dog ever. She is pretty nervous and HATES strangers but she is very sweet and loyal to me. I wouldn't trade her for all the dogs in the world.

I also have a ~8 year old chihuahua mix (my wife's dog) and a 2 year old Australian Shepard.

at one point in our famly we had two Goldens, the hair would just cover the carpet and tumbleweed in the hallway.....Dyson (pet type) vacuumed every other day, really did a great job on the hair and dander.... We now own three Dyson, upstairs, downstairs and a small apartment size just for quick clean ups.

Wife got 2 kittens when we moved to farm (for barn). Told her "only males." Well... two females. Told her to get the fuckers fixed. Well... she didn't. Well... kittens.
