My Chihuahua

Posts Tagged ‘dog breed’

So we all know we have preferences. You may like a huge dog like the Irish wolfhound while your sister prefers the tiny Yorkshire terrier.

Well i have noticed that the big dog lovers typically "hate" or "dislike" little dogs. (I am not talking about all big dogs lovers just stating what i have noticed) or vise versa.

I honestly like the small breeds better but again just preference. To be exact the chihuahua. Now this is where we get into the question. When i see a question regarding chihuahuas. There is usually one or more answers stating "chihuahuas are yappy, nippy, ankle bitters." Which always PO’s me. Most chihuahuas are nor yappy or nippy or whatever the heck uneducated people say about them. Chihuahuas are small and fragile. Now picture yourself that small. Now picture children picking you up playing with you roughly and dropping you. What would you do? I would bite! You got to think in the dogs perspective. Dogs are only how you make them out to be. If you have a chihuahua puppy. You never socialize it or teach it wrong from right. Well… when that dog goes out into the real world everything is bigger then it, it is scared being that it was never socialized. Its only defense is to bite and bark.

Same with big dogs. Like the famous killer pit bull. Pit bull attacks are from unsocialized, un-neutered, abused pit bulls. Pit bulls are one of the sweetest most loyal dog breed in the world.

Or what about the mastiffs or st bernard’s. Just because the dogs giant doesnt mean its going to attack and kill you. The giant breeds are typically the sweetest breeds. I honestly don’t get it?

So anyway….

Why is it that people with big dogs talk down on little dogs and vise versa?

Little dogs are my preference but that doesnt mean i hate big dogs. Big dogs are wonderful to me.

So why do you think this discrimination happens??
Whats your opinion?
