One of my ex-landladies had a Bichon Frise. It was probably a repackaged puppy mill dog, but she spent a fortune on it. Mean as a rattlesnake, soiled in the house, would run out from under the furniture and bite her husband as soon as he dozed off on the couch, and tried to bite me when I'd come down to use the kitchen or go to work.
The dog had the same personality as the owner, though, and the hair was similar though the landlady's was a little grayer.
Well, dogs are a direct reflection of their owners...you wanna know someone, meet their dog(s). If I was thinking about buying eggs to hatch from someone, I would seriously consider asking for a video of them with their dogs. Dogs own ppl, or ppl own dogs. Its very ugly when dogs own ppl, but its more often the case IMO. Today I locked my 4 dogs into the house (something I almost never do) so I could go to a garlic festival where I couldn't take them. Some friends, got back to my house before me after the festival and let the dogs out...the dogs were like; "Who are you, you're not what we wanted to see". I got home ~30 minutes later, and my dogs went nuts...;-]
My mother in law has a bichon. That thing ain't eatin no bears![]()
My little 11 and 13lb Bichon's couldn't eat a bear either...but between the 3 of them, they believe they could torment a bear to death...and I don't entirely disagree. They are so fast and agile, even at 8 yrs-old, that I would be really surprised if a bear could ever actually touch them. Their noses are as good as a bears, or any fauna here, so they aren't going to get surprised by anything. As such, any poor bear that stumbles upon my garden is really going to be at a disadvantage...it can't retreat as fast as they can surround it, and it can't hit anything it tries to hit...think of Ali, "fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee"...
Many people think of "toy" dogs as toys...in the past few years the grand national champions at dog shows have been smaller, "toy", breeds...they're being recognized once again...not as knee-sitters, but as amazing whole breeds.
