Well the cute little dog from next door isn't so cute any more. It just came into our house as bold as brass and jumped up on the sofa. When I went to pick him up to take him out he started screaming and pissed everywhere. I had to carry a pissing screaming tiny dog out the house to find his owner, whom it promptly bit.

The only creature on the planet that doesn't recognise the fact that it's the smallest dog in the world until it realises it IS actually really quite small - whereupon it suffers a nervous breakdown over it :)

Now you know why he's outside roaming around and not in his own home.

The care recommendations for chihuahuas is that they are indoor dogs and should not be left to roam outdoors. Also they need proper training to avoid some of the personality issues they can develop - exacerbated by in-breeding.

Think this little guy needs some taking in hand - erm... by an expert obviously... before he gets worse. His owners clearly aren't... a common problem when attracted to "cute toy breeds" is that they can turn out far from cute...

I do not like 'toy dogs' at all. Nor pit bulls, the breed should be extinguished. Some say they are a problem written by their owners.
BS. They were bred and born to be angry attack dogs.
There have been more documented children killed by pit bulls than any other breed of dog ever. And the few who are not killers 'the few' do not let all the others off the hook. Kill the breed.

Most of the time it is the type of owner that wants them that is the problem, it isn't the dogs fault.

I understand what you are saying, but the underlying problem remains, Chris.
They were bred to be killers. And they do, time and time again.

But if we eradicated the type of people that want them for street cred, they wouldn't be bred any more, and would naturally die out.

I stated my case, I won't go on about it.

There are some who state that cats are killers too.
They are. They are natural predators. It's what they do for a living.
But, they know their prey are birds and such, not a 5yo child.
Pit bulls don't seem to be able to distinguish the difference.

Anyone who owns a dog needs to train it properly. If I see the woman who owns the dog I will tell her she needs to take it in hand. It doesn't listen to her at all when she calls it home. It just goes from house to house barking at people.

Our other neighbours have two pitbulls which are actually two very nice and friendly dogs. Obviously they have been trained properly. I am still wary about them though. Perhaps next time the little Chihuahua gets into our garden I'll lob it over the fence and let the pitbulls deal with it.
