(36,649 posts)My "viscous" Pit Bull freaked out - barking at it, charging at it a few times & then running away again, and pouncing on it several times. This went on for about 10 minutes.
She didn't even kill the thing.

My Chow Chow and Pug:
What's her name and how young is she?

(36,649 posts)She's about 6 now.

(15,438 posts)She's really beautiful, baldguy. And still a "pup" at six. My pug saw his 10th b-day last February 2nd, and my Chow is about to see her 10th this October 13th.
Thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely beautiful dog.

(15,438 posts)Although my Chow is a darn good guard dog and isn't friendly toward strangers {or guests}, she's as docile as a pup when I take her out for walks or when we see her vet. Two vets have told me she's considered a bully breed, as are German Shepherds and Dobies. I asked her what she meant by that, and she said "high risk" dogs. And because we have a Chow, our home owner's insurance is far more expensive than people with the same policy who don't.
But to be technically correct, a Bully Breed is any breed of dog that has bull dog in its line, not the short snout. I the short snout places a dog in the bully breed category, that would include Pugs and Pekineses, and somehow I don't believe they belong there.
That's Elvis - or Elvie - our other and younger Pug.
