Chihuahua Names

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Many people think of Chihuahuas as the little dogs with the big attitudes. Now this does not mean that they are fierce dogs, but rather they are protective over their owners and extremely loyal. These cute little dogs are known for their high intelligence, ease of care, and love of humans. Chihuahuas live to be held by their owners and people they know well, however, if you reach out and try to pick up or pet a Chihuahua that does not know you, you may end up with a few chewed up fingers. Chihuahuas are also famous for the fact that they do not seem to know, or care to know, that they are smaller than everything else around them. This is where the big attitude comes in. These dogs are not really great with other animals, and they absolutely love to voice their opinions. Most of them however, have worse barks than their bites, but that does not mean you should taunt or try to get near one that does not know you. For these reasons and more many Chihuahua owners love to give their beloved new friend a name that makes them sound bigger than they actually are.** End Summary**

Pool is a sophisticated game requiring patience and careful calculations. Many hold the game in high regard.

Using Duck Decoys

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Duck hunting is not complete without the use of duck decoys. The purpose of them is to create a more natural looking hunting environment. In turn, this tricks any ducks flying overhead into thinking it is a safe place to land. Earlier, tamed ducks were used to attract wild ducks towards a patch of water. The pond was constructed with a wickerwork tunnel that was long and cone shaped. Barriers were cleverly built to hide a "decoy man" from the birds which were in vicinity to the pond side of the tunnel, while he was being revealed to the birds that were closer to the trap end of the tunnel. The decoy man employed the use of a trained dog as well as grain to attract the birds towards the tunnel. Once they entered the tunnel, the birds moved away from the decoy man towards the dog. Then the birds are driven into a small trap set up at the end of the tunnel where they were ultimately killed. Nowadays, duck decoys are toys of ducks, custom made at home or bought at hunting stores. Different labels as Taylor Decoys, Columbia River, and E. Allen etc sell different duck decoys.** End Summary**

Chihuahuas are the smallest dogs in the world, and take their name from Chihuahua, Mexico, where they were discovered in the mid-19th century. These dogs are thought to be descended from Chinese dogs which came over the land bridge from Asia thousands of years ago. The first chihuahua was registered with the American Kennel Club around the turn of the last century. You can recognize a chihuahua by it's big eyes and ears and tiny bodies. There are two coat varieties - the smooth, glossy short coat that's more familiar, and a long, soft variation. Chihuahuas of both types come in a number of different colors, from white, fawn and brown to black, blue brindle, chocolate and tan. These little dogs are known for loyalty, fierce devotion, and a ferocious manner for such a tiny dog. They mostly become attached to one or two people, and are extremely protective of them.

We all love our pet Chihuahuas for many reasons; they are smart, playful, loving, and probably the cutest dog breed in the world. However, they have a reputation for being stubborn or difficult to train to pee outside. This article will help you understand how to potty-train a Chihuahua. Many people don't understand the importance of potty-training at an early age. You should start training your Chihuahua the very first day you get them, hopefully as a puppy. This will make it more "instinctive" for your Chihuahua and help them stay potty-trained in their later years. You will want to take your Chihuahua outside often, maybe every two hours, to potty. Be sure to take them to the same spot every time, so they will get used to going potty in that area. While you are standing outside with them, speak a command such as "go potty". This should help them associate that command with going potty. If your Chihuahua is good and goes potty, give them their favorite doggy treat. Chihuahuas respond well to positive attention, and treats and love are a great tool to help them become trained.** End Summary**
