[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 498998, member: 1514"] I have had tons of dogs. Mostly mixes. Just happens right now I have purebreds. My first dog was a miniature poodle because of allergy issues. He was a good dog except for his extreme behaviors. He simply thought he owned us. We were to do what he wanted and when we wanted. When we groomed him he would pout for days until we convinced him he was so pretty. He ate the inside of our car when we left him inside it alone. He honked the horn relentlessly. If we tied him to a tree in the shade next to the car, he would chew up his water bowl. He got out of the car at one rest stop and spied a pig farm across the road and took off after them and we had to chase him and the pigs for over an hour! The poor owners thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen. TG. Rufus was one of those dogs who would act like he was ferocious and bark like heck when someone knocked at the door then as soon as we opened the door he hightailed it behind us and peeked around us like...ok...I barked...now you guys do the saving of me! A chipmunk got in our house one time and he was found standing on a kitchen chair barking like mad but refusing to get down on the floor. My bigger dogs have been more laid back.
