My next door neighbor has a Mexican Chihuahua named Bella. My wife and I call her Crazy Bella because like many dogs of this breed, her mouth writes checks her body can't cash. In other words, she is quite aggressive. As many of you know, on May 31 of this year my wife and I rescued a female Rottweiler, Duchess. I call her Dutch because it's easier.
Anyway, on Thanksgiving day, my son and I were in my back yard throwing a tennis ball around for the Dutchster to chase. All of a sudden, Crazy Bella crawls under the cedar fence, usig a hole she had dug. This has happened before Bella barks her head off trying to intimidate Dutch and Dutch just kind of looks at Bella as if to say, "Are you really a dog?" This time however, this 4 pound whack job proceded to attack the 70 poundish Dutch. My son and I immediately tried to seperate the two. As it turned out, no harm was done, but at the end, Dutch had this little dog completely in her jaws and off the ground. I thought Bella was truck music for sure, but Dutch did not bite down, thank God. I gave Dutch the "Out" command and Dutch put Bella down, whereupon, Bella beat feet back to her own yard. The crazy dog was still barking her head off though. She has some brass.

Bella's guardian angel must have been on duty for sure Dan. Fortunately, Dutch is not an aggressive dog yet. She is still young. I'm told that at about two years of age, Rotties become more assertive. My goal is to have her very well trained and under control by then.

It's a good thing that most big dogs aren't as aggressive and high strung as many of the smaller breeds. Wolves are tamer than some of those little dogs.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

yeah, hopefully you work that fence situation out with your neighbor before dutches gets sick of that barking 4 pound freak of nature excuse of a dog and tears her to pieces. =]
glad that didn't get as bad as it could have.

the ONLY reason I'm glad dutch didn't eat the chihuahua is because then the rat dog's owners would have thrown a fit, and demanded she be put down. I hate little dogs with the white hot passion of 1000 suns. and 95% of the time their owners are human garbage.

Hey Din, how ya doing? The lady who owns Crazy Bella is by herself. She doesn't really want a dog but her kids keep buying them for her. I guess she takes some comfort from having a companion who will alert her to the presence of an intruder. She has gone through quite a few dogs over the years. In the past, they've been largely neglected and just kept in the back yard. Bella, despite her delusions of grandeur is okay. Even though she barks a lot, the noise doesn't rattle our windows.

hrmmm. I guess that puts her in the 5%, but I'd still rather have a neighbor with a pack of basenjis. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and I'm well, bill, thanks. how're you doing?

Very interesting story, Bill. I've always wanted a Chihuahua, but I've always found one reason or another why I'd probably be better off without one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
