I am a dog codependent, and I am willing to admit it. I love my dogs!
Right now I have one with me, Cruizer.
He is a two years old Miniature Pinscher. I am working him in obedience, and one day he will also be in agility. He is the gem of my life, and makes comming home so much more exciting. He currently is working towards his CD. When he isn't working hard (or hardly working), he harrases our cat and our iguana before curling up for a nice nap. His favorite trick is dropping dead when I yell bang. Most alert dead dog I've ever seen, but it is still cute.
If you are interested in a troublesome little Min Pin of your own, e-mail me, and I can but you in contact with Cruizer's breeder, who sometimes offers pets on spay/neuter contracts.
These are some of my babies that live at my home in Minnesota
This is Ruby, my Mom's obedience dog. Ruby is a three year old Doberman Pinscher. Ruby is well started in Agility, and plans to get her CDX this spring. When she isn't campaigning, she is beating up on Chewie, my Mom's black lab, or taking over the whole couch, leaving the humans to sit on the floor. She also loves wading in her own kiddy pool during the summer when it gets too hot.
Muffin is a sweet All - American mutt. She is now ten years old, and I am hoping to put a junior earthdog title on her this summer. She is just the sweetest little girl you could imagine. We got her from a family which had an accidental breeding. She was going to be sent to the pound in a few days, so we brought her home for my little sister. Muffin is the fastest learner that I have ever seen. Five minutes is about all it takes to teach her a trick, and she will have it mastered by the end of the day. Currently, she can roll over, sit up pretty, jump through my arms, jump over or through obstacles, and do retrieves.
Chewie is my Mom's retired obedience dog. He is a four year old black lab. He has a variety of health problems, such as severe alergies and thyroid problems, which forced him to retire. He still runs the household though. He is currently being used as a demo dog for obedience demonstrations. He loves to please, and works completely for his owner's happiness. The second he is on command, that tail starts wagging and doesn't stop until long after the lesson is over.
Princess is a 15 years old Cocker Spaniel. Still enjoying life, but just a little senile. She was given to me when I was five, so we have been together for a long, long time.
Princess went over the rainbow bridge this spring. She was 16 years old.
Molly is a long haired Chihuahua. Nothing like the Taco Bell dog, she is a lovely white and fawn with a very sweet temperment. The first chihuahua I ever met, and still my favorite. She is currently 5 years old, and has settled into a life as a pampered queen. She rules the other chihuahuas quite nicely, and leads the group attacks on the cats, and the subsequent retreat.
Teddy is Molly's son, another long haired Chihuahua. A feisty, terrier like little man, and the main source of trouble in the household. He is currently most of the way to his championship (majors are done). He has been bred twice now, and his pups are comming out very lovely.
Sally is a sweet, very soft short haired chihuahua. She was recently bred to Teddy and had three puppies. A beautiful litter, and Sally blossomed as a mother. We are currently debating on whether to bred her again, since she did so well, and really glowed as a mother. Sally has been retired from the show ring due to an injury as the stress that the ring caused.
