My first Chi was given to me. She was actually my husband's parents dog. They couldn't take care of her anymore so I took her. She was just the sweetest chi ever. Not barky. Total people person. House trained. Loved me to death. Almost to the point of obsession. Hubby always made comments about how obsessed she was with me. I thought it was funny and sweet. My second chi was basically a resuce. He was so sweet despite being inbred, ugly, poor health, and never would house break (I honestly think he didn't have the mental capacity to house break. He was kind of retarded. In the true sense of the word). So in both of those cases, the breed wasn't my choice. That's just what they were.
Now Gunner, my new little man, was purposely picked and bought because he was a chi. I wanted a toy breed that didn't have high maintenance hair (like yorkies) and that would be loyal (obsessed
) with me. We already have a family pet that is more for the kids (a Boston Terrier). I wanted one to call MINE. I didn't think I'd ever set out to get a chi but, based on what I already knew about the breed, I decided that a chi actually was what I was looking for. We've only had Gunner for about a month but he's already proving to be what I was looking for!
