CHI CHI DOG BREED

[x-birdsong-x]

overly specific house dog au headcanons? spill some?

I can try and fit in one post everyone I've settled completely on so far, and also be obnoxious about dog breeds. fun

I've also bothered @greghatecrimes with a lot of these so very big thanks to them for helping me settle on breeds for everyone <3

It's when I've settled on a "base breed" with dogs that sometimes things just go crazy and go from there

Start with the most overly unnecessarily detailed one here you go:

Adams is the oddest most fantasy mixed breed of ALL fucking time her parents are one Belgian Tervuren and one Borzoi x Ibizan Hound and she appeared so much Tervuren that it’s just possible to miss that she’s got any sighthound(s) in her.

Editing to go even more in-detail with this one because my girl deserves it: She ends up looking somewhere between these two:

She’s very pointy and very leggy but she is very long-furred and that's where the mistakes come from. She moves mostly with the gaits of her sighthound sides which the others find is an easy way to make her bristle. She’s prancing across the room and Chase says you move like a sighthound and she says no I don’t (yes she does)

Park is a Silken Windsprite:

Probably struggles in snow and sometimes has to jump and jump to get through it when it's really deep but Adams mumbles that it’s cute and that's Fight invitation. Park brings up that Adams gets snowballs stuck on her and that it takes hours to melt out of her fur. ("Fuck you!" - "Do it yourself!") It's probably fair to say she has some little dog syndrome.

Chase is an Australian Shepherd. House probably used to make comments about he and Cameron both being Merle:

Cameron is this specific Border Collie (but with blue eyes, ofc):

Probably does the Collie Crouch sometimes. Absolutely does the Collie Stare, and that would come into House's "you can't actually pierce me with your eyes" moments.

Foreman is a Central Asian Shepherd:

For a slight visual similarity to how I imagine post-Lockdown Angst Cameron might feel meeting Masters, Masters is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever:

Probably has what I call in the groomers "Smart Breed Anxiety" along with her autism swag. Dogs who listen to and seem to understand every word you say and if you're telling someone or another pet off for anything, they assume they're the one you're talking to and give all their guilty looks. Also using my Bluebear as reference with that visual.

Thirteen is this Utonagan!!! No other visual!!! Have such a canine visual of The Dig it's insane.

Wilson of course took Golden Retriever. Definitely one of the larger/silkier ones. Show-type. He'd definitely be a dark gold but this is the best pic I have for how I picture him -color:

House is a Scottish Deerhound, mixed with what? He doesn't know. Wants to know. Very easy to miss that he's a cross:

(Little Rachel rode on his back for a bit once.) John is an Irish Wolfhound.

Speaking of, Rachel is a little pupper Sheltie (Natalie) x English Shepherd (Simon) but she barely shows any Shep traits when it comes to looks:

Rachel's a mini-me of her mama, Cuddy took Rough Collie:

Kutner is a Springer Spaniel x Large Münsterländer, leaning more looks-wise toward the latter and leaning energy-level toward the former:

Taub is a Beagle, Chihuahuas are just too small for one of the main characters in my little visual I'm afraid (and I forgot Smooth Fox Terriers existed):

Rachel is a long-haired Dachshund, and Ruby is a show-type English Cocker Spaniel, so Sophie and Sophia are those crosses respectively. Click on the Spaniel to see the full pic.

Amber takes (Red) Siberian Husky:

She's quite thick-coated but she doesn't fall under "Woolly Husky" coat type.

Red (Irish) Setter Stacy:

Plott Hound Mark:

Dominika... So This dog is obviously a Belgian Malinois maybe crossed with something fluffier (unless the listing change from Mali to Terv is accurate, then she's just Small) but she looks exactly like this:

Saluki Lydia:

Belgian Malinois Alvie:

Lucas is just straight-up a Coyote. It just fits him too well. He gets a Coyote-themed name in the WC AU, and gets to be a Coyote when I think about canines:

Beauceron Nolan. Can't see him as something as round and soft as Newfies but also can't see him as a bully-type:

More 6x01/2 characters. Beasley's another Border Collie:

Last intro post is Chi Chi, one of the Oakland Animal Services shelter dogs I took on a field trip recently.

She is young, energetic, loves people, and is eager to learn. A pittie mix of sorts based on looks. She was very on edge at the shelter but calmed down a lot once I took her to a less loud and dog-filled environment.

As of the time of this post, she is still available for adoption!

I’ll be picking up my foster dog on Sunday, so until then her 10/10 smile will be my profile pic.

Admittedly I am not super well versed on some breeds, but after a lot of shows I find myself reading breed standards and illustrated breed standards put forth by the breed club and I find myself even more confused by the judges' decisions. Obviously I don't claim to know more than a judge, but... I really don't see what they do in some of these dogs.

[gemharvest]

I think I'll forever be a small dog guy cuz like, I've grown up exclusively with chihuahuas in the house and honestly I don't think I could handle bigger dog breeds. BUT my only exception would probably be boxers/ pitbulls I have such a soft spot for those guyss..

[swagging-back-to]

i love chihuahuas theyre genuinely the best dog breed

[timeisacephalopod]

I've noticed a lot of the reasons people seem to hate small dogs overlap with why they hate cats, which almost always boils down to "this animal doesn't let me do whatever the fuck I want with it and I don't like that!" Very weird to admit you don't like animals that expect you to listen to their boundaries and will bite you otherwise but ok.

Anyway, I am a passionate Chihuahua and cat defender now even if sometimes I gotta go to bat for other little dogs. Listen to their body language and behaviors and you won't find them quarrelsome!

𐐂 summer brings out the absolute worst in you amongst the heat, rather the best in your husband’s eyes . . .

If it weren’t for the handles, your shakey knees would’ve given in.

Strands of your hair stuck to your forehead and flushed cheeks, while beads of sweat rolled down your overheated face. The room felt so much hotter then it already was, the sun only worsening the effects. The harsh rays burned your skin, but it was the last thing your hazey mind was focused on.

“Chi—Chifuyu..right there..”

Your slurred, eyes rolling back as Chifuyu quickened his pace. The sensation overwhelms you but in the best way possible, all made even better thanks to the view from your window. It wasn’t the first time the blondie did something risqué with you, the thrill of getting caught kept his dick up and his libedo through the fucking roof.

You felt his arm wrap around your neck, holding you in a light headlock while continuously fucking into you like a dog in heat. Your eyes grew heavy, looking white from how far you’ve rolled them back. Chifuyu’s eyes turned to admire his husband’s fucked out face, driving him to press a heated kiss against your swollen lips. It was sloppy, nasty almost. Chifuyu practically almost swallowing them while you clumsily attempted to synchronize his movement.

“Too much for ya? You look like you’re gonna pass out..”

He chuckled, showing off his fangs that you adored so much. You tried to speak, yet your words were slurred and wispy. You couldn’t mutter anything past a moan in your failed attempts to warn your husband about your impending orgasm. He was right, you were so fucked out and so hot from the stuffy air that you were almost dumbified. Unable to think about anything that wasn’t the tip of his cock that kissed your cervix.

“Cummin’..”

You silently sobbed, following with another chuckle that bubbled in his throat. He freed you from his grip, causing you to stumble and place both hands on the kitchen counter while one of your legs suddenly wobbled. You turned around and nearly came at what you saw.

Chifuyu had lifted one of your legs high enough until your cunny was all he could see. Empty, yet already leaking as if you begged for a release. Of course you were, your face said it all.

“You’re adoroble, you know that?”

He cooed with faux sympathy as he wasted no time finishing the job. While you babbled your breath away, he smiled. The only thing you could hear besides the gradually loud skin slapping and your own whining, Chifuyu praised you all the way until you felt the knot in your stomach close to snapping.

“Oh my love..can’t ever get enough of you, don’t think I ever will—shit.”

He followed that up with his thrusts growing sloppier and desperate as your nails scratched at the counter. Your mouth dropped, letting out one final mewl before a gush of warmth overtook your body. Your head snapped back to face him, watching his eyebrows turn upwards as he bites back a moan. The sun made his blue eyes bright, as blood rushed back into your cheeks from the view.

You reached out, shaking hands as Chifuyu finally came. Painting your walls white, the ravenette breathed heavily until your hands were touching his pink cheeks. His skin was burning hot and sweaty from the sun bathing his body.

You could only stare, no words could be muttered between the both of you. Only smiles and flushed faces.

I’ve been scrolling nearby pets for an hour and there are mini schnauzers nearby

It’s too quiet in my house and I hate it

[stargazer-sims]

If you don’t see me around a lot this weekend, this is why…

On Friday, I’m bringing this precious girl home 💜

Her name is Eden. She’s a silver (usually called blue) merle smooth-coat chihuahua. She’s 1.5 years old and was meant to be part of a breeding program, but because she’s a merle, she cannot be CKC registered, and ethically speaking, shouldn’t be bred anyway.

Merle chihuahuas are predisposed to genetic defects/disabilities, particularly when two merles are bred together. Unfortunately, there are unethical breeders out there who would breed specifically for dogs with coat patterns and eye colours like this, regardless of the danger to the puppies’ health, and then charge a ridiculously high price to unsuspecting people who think they are getting a rare, high-value dog. This is why it’s super important to do your research before getting a dog/puppy, especially if you want a specific breed, and MOST ESPECIALLY if it’s your first dog:

Luckily for Eden and her sister, the breeder is highly ethical and has not bred them, choosing instead to have them genetically tested and cleared, and then finding appropriate forever homes for them with people who will agree to sign a neutering contract.

Sailor is actually also a merle and I had to agree to getting her spayed too. Sailor is a “ghost merle” who carries the merle gene but doesn’t have the spotted coat pattern. These are especially problematic because without testing, dogs like Sailor might accidentally be bred with another chi who carries the merle gene.

Sailor, for reference:

What advice do you have for a prospective first time chihuahua owner? My partner and I have been looking at small breeds (we have a yard, but our actual house is a little too cramped for a big dog), and chihuahuas have made our list of top potential choices! Any "if this applies to you, chi's probably are/aren't a good fit" kind of things is greatly appreciated!!

This is going to be a really long answer otherwise, so I think you should read Chihuahuas for Dummies. Not because I think you're a dummy, but because I read it before I got my first chihuahua and I actually learned quite a lot about the breed- it was written by someone heavily involved in breeding and showing and the history of the breed, so it's far more comprehensive and educational than one might expect. I was happily surprised by the quality of content of this $5 book, to say the least!

I just wanted to highlight this beautiful artwork that my good friend, Chis a.k.a. @whosthewhatnow created for me.

This drawing was inspired by this post about my dad and his animal magnetism.

If you don't recall, I said...

"I’ve always said I don’t believe in heaven but I do believe in dog heaven.

It is my hope FrogDad gets special permission to go there and hang with Otis, MacGyver, Reggie, and Buttons."

I also mentioned this in my eulogy...

I said that we had pet newts as children. However, when I went to look up pet newts, none of them looked like what we had. In fact, I couldn't find any lizards that looked like what we had. Perhaps they were some kind of lizard that was a popular pet in the 80s but fell out of favor with pet stores.

In any case, the mystery lizards are sneaking into Doggie Heaven.

And, of course, there is my dad's famous John Deere riding mower that he used to take Otis on countless walks.

And Chris included all of the beloved doggos of my childhood.

My first was a Welsh Corgi named Buttons.

She would walk me more than I walked her...

Then we adopted a Cairn Terrier named Reggie.

Reggie was found at an illegal breeding facility and rescued. He was kept in a cage nearly all of his life and it pained him to walk on hard surfaces for several months until his paws healed. We suspect he was abused by a large male, because he was terrified of my dad when we brought him home. He would run under the bed anytime my dad entered the room. This was probably the ultimate test of my dad's dog whispering powers. He slowly and patiently worked with Reggie, devising all kinds of creative trust exercises. He would lay on the floor with his belly exposed and start crying and acting sad. Trying to show Reggie he was harmless and pathetic and nothing to fear. And every time Reggie got close, my dad would bribe him with cheese.

And just like every other dog we've had, my dad won Reggie over and they became best friends. They were constant cuddle buddies.

No other large male could ever get close to Reggie. My dad ended up being the only one he would ever trust.

We felt Reggie could use a companion to help cure his trauma and depression and maybe help him socialize a little better.

So... we got a puppy!

My first ever experience with a puppy. He was a West Highland White Terrier--commonly referred to as a "Westie."

We wanted a name that paid respect to his Scottish heritage and we loved this popular show on the boob tube in which a man fixed things with chewing gum and a paperclip.

So I suggested we name him after that favorite TV hero...

Angus MacGyver!

Or "Mac" for short.

MacGyver was a bit like Otis 1.0. He was a tiny ball of energy. He loved to play. He was mischievous, but always cute about it, so he rarely got in trouble. Though he was not nearly as smart as Otis. If dogs could take IQ tests, Otis would have tested as a genius. I am embarrassed to admit how often I was outwitted by a hairy loaf with legs.

But MacGyver was just a normie. Not dumb. Not a genius.

Reggie didn't know what to do with a puppy at first. But once Mac grew up a little and calmed down a lot, they did end up being proper pupper pals.

Doggo dudes.

Canine cohorts.

Scottish scalawags.

Reggie mostly just sat at a distance as MacGyver did dumb things. Mac would get into trouble and when we caught him, Reggie would just stare at us like, "I was an impartial observer. I had no part in these shenanigans."

And last, but certainly not least... I think you all remember this troublemaker.

My dad was all cuddles and play time.

But my mom and Otis had a very special relationship as well. Otis would "help" my mom with her chores. They'd go from room to room and my mom would do her cleaning and dusting and vacuuming. And Otis would disrupt all of it--to her delight. She liked to talk to him like he was an adult human. She swore he could understand her. They'd just gab and clean.

Their antics doing chores together inspired one of my favorite Corg Life comics that Chris also drew.

So, thank you to Chris for always creating such beautiful things for me.

If you need any artwork, I highly recommend hiring him. He even does watercolor paintings.

I have another probably absolutely niche thing to rant about that has absolutely nothing to do with my blog but it’s my blog so I can do whatever I want.

But as someone who owns a chihuahua, I’m absolutely pissed at how the dog-community treats chihuahuas. Especially people who call themselves trainers. It’s so fucking annoying.

Of I have to listen to one more person say that chihuahuas are the worst dogs ever and the devil incarnate and absolutely untrainable and how they’re horrible dogs in general, I will murder someone.

Because my chihuahua used to act exactly how these people imagine a chihuahua to act when I got her: loud, "aggressive", running away, not listening at all. She screamed and yowled at everything that moved.

Not because she was "aggressive", but because she was fucking terrified and this behaviour is the last resort of dogs when you overstep their boundaries to often.

Do you know how she behaves now, years later, after living with us for a while? After being actually trained and treated like a real dog, not a toy?

She acts like a real dog! Yes, she sometimes still growls a bit at people who get to close to her, but that’s normal. She’s small and afraid and this is the only way she has to let people know she’s there. What do you expect her to do? Risk getting stepped on? If she barked, the reaction would be the same.

We got her when she was two. She’s seven now. And she’s such a great dog, and I could cry at imagining what an awesome dog she could’ve been had she been with a good owner from the beginning.

But she didn’t have that. She had an owner who treated her like a toy, she never learned how to actually behave like a dog, she never got to learn how to interact with other dogs or people in a healthy manner. She had to learn all that well into adulthood! That’s extremely hard for a dog to do! She was neglected by her owner and thrown and kicked around by her owners visitors, which caused her to be absolutely horrified of any stranger that just existed near her.

We had to spent years building up her confidence so she wouldn’t try to bolt at any minor thing; and now, she’s so curious, so smart and so courageous! Trying out new things wherever she can, and sniffing on strangers, even sometimes letting strangers pet her! She’s doing so great. She’s happy.

And it pisses me off so much when people talk about how horrible chihuahuas are. Because my chihuahua used to be like this! And I know why! Because she was fucking abused. That’s what causes a dog to behave like that. Abuse of small dogs is so normalised that their abused behaviour is seen as reflecting their whole breed.

Chihuahuas are lively, intelligent, curious and, yes, they’re usually extremely stubborn and not very easy to train. People look at them and see a small, cute, "easy to handle" breed and buy them with zero knowledge of how to train a dog and how a chi is supposed to behave, because when a chi misbehaves, they can just "fix it" (with violence, usually). People see them as dog-shaped toys that don’t actually need all the things dogs need (like walks, enrichment, training); as little cutesy things they can treat however they want. And these poor dogs suffer for it.

And if any dog trainer says that a chi can’t be trained, that’s just them saying that they can’t handle a stubborn dog with very little trainer-focus and even less will-to-please. I wouldn’t trust those type of trainer with any dogs, they’re just outright saying that they only know one type of training-tactic and are unwilling to change it to fit the dogs' needs.

I fucking hate all of these people. Chihuahuas are awesome dogs, like any other dog, if you treat them right. And they deserve to be treated right.

Ok I’m done for now. Here’s my cutesy lil chihuahua (and my other dog) for your pleasure.

[wefashionablyfutile]

🎀🥹 Officially adopting a chihuahua next year , I can’t wait I’ve wanted a lil chi baby for so long and was supposed to adopt one this year but it didn’t happen with moving again 🫶 parents are also looking at adopting a medium breed doggo too so we’re gonna be a 4 dog household eventually ⭐️🌙😁

[southerntchiorny]

Sweet Jiminy Christmas y’all I am

✨Struggling✨

Not in any necessarily concerning fashion, just in a Two Breeders I Very Much Want A Puppy From Are Having Litters I’m Very Interested In At Similar Times fashion…

Option 1: Chihuahua bestie has puppies due in a few weeks from my favorite dog of hers (iykyk the picture of the chi I wanted to smuggle out of a show)

Option 2: AHT mentor who has told me they would love for me to have one of their puppies is having a repeat litter from my favorite dog of HERS who is an absolutely stunning bitch who throws babies that look exactly like her

I feel like maybe the AHT would be the better choice since this is her second litter and I don’t know if she will breed her again. But also tiny super snuggly baby (god I miss having a dog that cuddles).

[plague-of-insomnia]

Yesterday was a hard day. I’ve been missing Raul a lot, and realizing I may not be able to get another dog like him again, partly bc we can’t afford another dog rn, but also bc I really want another chi/italian greyhound mix and those aren’t the most common breed combo, and hubby doesn’t want another iggy bc they can have house training issues. I just really want another “velcro” dog like my Blondie 💔😭.

i’ve also been extremely exhausted to the point I’ve just been mindlessly saving posts here for reblogging later and watching really bad TV

SOOOO you may see a ton of stuff getting reblogged here that is not my usual faire (I may have fallen down some aesthetic and nail art blog holes)…

I’ll tag everything #not kuro most likely, so you can use that tag to block them all if you want. Other tags may be #nail art and #kuro au inspo

I’ll try and post again when the spree is done.
