They are surprisingly good guard dogs, especially indoors, but both indoors and out. My only issue in getting another pet is that we are considering plans future wise to take extended vacations during the colder months. So, not sure about that. I would not want to trust penning, and believe my ever dwindling (think old age) friend group wouldn't want to do so.Chihuahua the little dog with a big personality. I think they are cute.
Speaking of "bulls" Boo, what happened or was the outcome of your dominant male porky pig, whose given name eludes me now? I was hopeful that you applied the axe handle to him, or some other humane means, before he first got you again. Having done extensive hiking in our Aloha islands, I have encountered singular bulls, and mother pigs with kids, that have been native there now for over a thousand years. They are worrisome to encounter, but more so if you ever were injured and unable to get yourself out of the rain forest. Like being dinner. Always per protocol hiked with a partner for this very reason. and very rarely traveled mauka into the forest alone unless there was a real "need", and then was uber cautious getting in and out in A.M. Was both lucky and younger.then. Never would go mauka alone now.Ivan would do great at a dog park while on a lead...it's when he's off lead that would prompt him to run thru/over other dogs...he's shown an attitude toward small breeds and anyone near his fence...Dutch and I traveled everywhere together, even a 4 day stay at the hospital...that'll never happen with Ivan...commands and logic doesn't work when he's not able to be at my side...he's fine at home but he's a bull...
