My daughter has a Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, 40 lb. Muppet mix (mostly wirehair terrier) and a Chihuahua. All females.
I'll tell you right now, the Chihuahua rules the house with a IRON fist.
It's funny to see that Chihuahua blow up in the face of that Rottweiler and make her back off!

What a cute, new family member! Congrats! You have found a nice name, I like it.

I absolutely love dogs, I have loved dogs my entire life. I find it impossible to understand how people can just abandon dogs. Totally incomprehensible!

This is our family dog.

Well God bless you for allowing yourself to be rescued by that pup. Our last 5 dogs have adopted us. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Enjoy Waco. He'll have you trained in no time.

Ric,
Great picture. That look says I'll let you sit on my couch if you give me a piece of that bacon!

Ric, you know that they say (not me of course) that owners tend to look like their dogs. Or maybe it was the dogs tend to look like their people. I've noticed you might be grumpy from time to time, or maybe stern, hope it's not rubbing off on your pup.

Take that girl out and throw the ball for her. And that's definitely her couch, as you have added a blanket. Clearly for your pup.

Waco that is a cool looking dog. Good to have a dog. Only gone for one year without a dog, and that was because we lost 2 in the same year. Both 15 years old.

WACO, I know you will enjoy the new pup. The little mixed dogs are almost always bright and cheerful. Ric

John G, that is "Miss Tillie"'s smile! When she is sad or tired her bottom teeth are in front of her top lip. She loves to play soccer until she gets tired, then she just sits on the ball so nobody else can play.

Ric that's awesome. Dog's personality's are unique for sure and a wonderful thing. You have a dog for part of your life time, but your dog has your for their entire life time. People need to realize how important you are to your four legged family member and not take them for granted.

After I had to put down our last to dogs, a Shiba Inu and a Cattle dog, both at the age of fifteen, we waited almost one year to get another dog. We were starting to travel to the lower 48 four extended periods of time, and we were not going to (boarded out) leave a dog, for months at a time. So I wanted another Boarder Collie, and Karyn wanted a smaller dog which would be easier to travel with. Karyn was making since, but, I still wanted a Boarder Collie. We had a B C before these last two, but with a very dominate larger dog. Both males, and the Mic, the B C was the absolute sweetest dog I've ever had. Karyn never got any one on one time with Mic so not quite sure. Mic would always go with me when I would go to Valdez in the winter to check up on the boats about once a month or when it snowed a bunch, which was most of the time. Anyway Mic would be a great companion on the Docks, and staying on the boat. Of coarse we went everywhere together when in Valdez, which was about a 5 minute walk to anywhere just about everywhere Valdez. Big town in the winter. Mostly Mic and I were working on the boats or up at the Club Bar which served great food and beverages. Great, smart, dog.
So I guess Karyn did not want a big dog, and considered a Border Collie large. That's true when considering air travel just to get out of Alaska and then being in a Motor Home which we keep in Washington. But, I wanted a B C as I know how wonderful they are. Smart dogs that want to please are priceless. So I found a B C litter for adoption down towards Anchorage. Long story short, we bought Biscuit and she's perfect, 3 years now. Great traveler.
