Sorry have to vent, but I honestly found a lot of people out there, including the Chihuahua owners can be so ignorant and narrow minded. I have 6 Chihuahuas and they are all in different sizes. I have one boy which is 9lbs in weight while the rest are 3 - 4 lbs. (Harmonee is towards to the skinny size and she weights only 2.3lbs, we and our vet have been trying to work on her weight for months)

Lately I got comment about Hamornee...like "what do you feed your dog to have such long legs", ""Wow, how come she has such long legs", "OMG, your chihuahua looks very different", "How come she is so skinny, do you feed your dog?"

I have to say, my Chihuahuas might not be the Champion of whatever these International Dog show, but they are all well loved and cared dogs. We love Harmonee just as much as the other Chis even she might be taller or thinner, wish people just accept the fact, each dog is different. And have to say, Harmonee's parents are tall and lean, so the genetic also counts. Wish people think before you speak, if there's nothing nice to say, don't say it. :foxes15:

I am sorry I have to say Harmonee is pretty inside and out to me and a lot of my friends who have met her, including her vet. My vet has in fact treated Harmonee for fractured front legs for the last 6 weeks and he fell in love with her.

You can see 3 of my girls celebrated their birthday this past weekend, and Harmonee is taller than the other 2 girls.

PS I have ignored the comment, but it doesn't mean it doesn't get me and it hurts.

They are all beautiful dogs, I don't see why anyone would say that.How rude.

 

[Huly]

I understand 100% I get crazy comments all the time too as most thing my two are mini pins. Even my hound Gibbs has gotten comments about his ears being shorter than normal and he must have beagle in him. Nope i have his papers since I work with the rescue I got him from and he is 100% basset.

 

[BuddyAnLadyBug]

People are very rude!! >:/ They are all beautiful! <3 You know you take care of her & love her, so just let all the comments not bother you, I'm sorry people are so rude.

[Wicked Pixie]

People are just ignorant. And rude! We get asked all the time what breed Harley is.
Harmonee is very pretty, as are the other two. (Krystal and Priscilla?) I LOVE their birthday cakes!
Next time someone asks why her legs are so long just say 'for the same reason your bum/nose (whatever applies) is so big!'

 

[Buildthemskywards]

Perhaps they didn't mean it as a bad thing so didn't realise it was rude? I think she's beautiful, I love the little markings over her face and she certainly doesn't look like you don't feed her even if she is lean. People just don't like anything that I'd different from the norm. People are just ignorant.

 

[felix93]

lol @ Stella. Yes the other 2 are Krystal and Priscilla, they are not related but yet they share the same birthday on Sunday.

You know when people comment like this, I do sometimes question myself if they see all of us human in colour and wonder if they are very discriminated. All mine have papers and they are 100% Chis, so I don't know why some people just cannot accept. I know I am not the only one people would throw comment like this to me as I have read posts of other posters who have nasty comment too.

 

[heathuhhhhwebbbb]

She is GORGEOUS! Just tell them she's got model legs!

 

[Kalisee]

Unfortunately people do this to other people too saying things like "Why is your baby so fat?" or "How come she is so tiny" or "How come he/she isnt walking talking etc yet?" Your girl has very long legs indeed but to be admired, not sneered at!

 

[LittleGemma]

Maybe people are just curious because her long legs are not the norm, but that doesn't make her any less beautiful. But people asking if you feed your dog is very rude and I would be very offended by that. Some people just really don't know how to keep their thoughts to themselves. Don't let morons like that get to you. Harmonee is a beautiful lady.

We recently adopted a 5 year old, he is the companion to our soon to be 1 year old (well I am telling a bit of a white lie, because he is my sidekick, my right hand man and I am totally over the moon about him... but I try to be cool and act as if he is Rio's friend, which I truly want him to be, but words cannot express how I love this little man!)

That being said if I were to be totally 100% honest, he is not the most handsome Chi coming down the Pike ~ his ears go wonky ~ One up, one down ~ looks like he is wearing a fedora (we call him fedorable), longer muzzle, snaggle-tooth & can look meaner than catchit (that's an expression here) He gives stink eye like no other animal I have ever been around. There is honestly more "wrong" with him, than correct by chihuahua standards. I swear to God though in my head and my heart he is totally gorgeous & I love him madly! He's healthy so his "faults" to this point do not stand in the way of that and I wouldn't change a thing in the world about him. He is bite size right size and totally snuggable! He's everything a person could want and then some for their right-hand man!

You could stack the most pristine Chi in the world in front of me & have Caesar standing there beside Mr. or Ms. Pristine giving me the ole stink eye & there is no way in this world and no amount of money that could temp me from picking him. Even after just this short amount of time I am crazy about him & his flaws & I love him to bits!

I don't care what others say about him if they do... because what he lacks in standard, he more than makes up for in personality and he is totally cool and was so needed in our home. I have found at all times when someone pops off about something like that ~ it's an internal issue with themselves so I try and pay it no mind. Although I am not opposed to letting someone know what and where the bear did in the buckwheat. I never feel like I owe anyone an explanation about things, especially when they are speaking out their backside. I know when I walk him others might look and think a few things, but I am really proud, after everything he has been through and he had one of the roughest starts an animal can have and survive ~ that even with that he trusts me and we're buddies. So I definitely have one up on the person looking down their nose at him ~ because he's cooler than they could ever imagine but because of their shortcomings & snobbery they'll never be in on our little secret~ & that's their loss!

Sometimes you just have to realize people are A _ _ H _ _ _ S and not let them inside your head or in on your little secret. She's gorgeous!

 

[heathuhhhhwebbbb]

I've gotten questions about if I feed Zeus or not. He is quite thin but I feed him. He just doesn't keep it on. :\ It is offensive, not only to your pet but also to the owner being accused of not taking care of their chi. He is healthy and vet checked so he is just thin. Different body shapes for different chis!

Oh how I LOVE this post! Good stuff!


And yes I agree with everyone here, Harmonee is very pretty.
Someone brilliant once told me "Just because a dog is not up
to standard, does not mean they are not beautiful".

I myself have rescued dogs, all 4 are flawed look wise, but baby
let me tell you, all 4 are EXCEPTIONAL pets, that I would not trade
for the world. To me, they are all stunning, because their loving
& devoted personalities shine right through.

 

[CheyMUA]

I wouldn't worry about the comments...they are beautiful!!

I had one girl randomly come towards Isis and say ''Oh she isnt full chihuahua is she.'' Not a question....a statement...I was just like yh actually she is purebred!

People that know chihuahuas and see her can see she's fully chi...silly girl...Just brush it off...ignorance is too common these days - I don't know what they expect TBH LOL!!

 

[Missygal]

I totally understand and wish some people wouldn't open their mouth.

My mother in law told me right after we got Emmie that she is much cuter than Bailey. I got so mad, it's like telling her that one of her children are cuter than the other. Some people just don't get that our pets are our children!!

You pups are all gorgeous!!!!

Thank you for the nice comment. No matter what, my dogs are beautiful in my eyes. And I have to say even I am mainly a lurker on here, I have seen you guys Chis too and to me they are beautiful and they have personalities of their own.

If I am right, even in the show ring, they only have the weight limit but never say if the Chi is taller cannot enter the show.

I know people can be curious, but sometimes in cases like this, it's better to keep that curiosity to themselves.

 

[Jayda]

Great job posing them for the group photo. I personally love the long legs!

 

[Tsherrodd]

She is beautiful as the rest, just ignore the ifnorant

I agree with Heather, Tell them her legs are long because she models for CHI Magazine. I think shes beautiful and as long as you love her it doesnt matter what other people think, but i do realize comments can hurt. I really think most people just dont think before they speak and are not aware that its rude.

 

[MiniGrace]

A flower garden is beautiful because of the variety of blooms. I think we should enjoy variety in the appearance of all living things. Your girl is lovely and some people are just rude! She probably thinks they look funny too.
