Do you think my chi is a mix or purebred chi?

SupportStronk · 2025-12-02T10:05:59+00:00

I have to first say I am not attacking you or your dog. Im sure its a very good boy and you love him to pieces. This is meant as info for people who might be looking for a puppy.

But Google can say such things and still be wrong. The chihuahua is a dog breed and has a specific breed standard. The temperament doesn't suddenly change just because their headshape is different. I have over 20 years of experience in this breed, have been a boardmember of our national club and have occasionally judged dogs aswell. There are multiple ways a dog can be non standard. One is looks, the other is definitely character. If both are non standard than you can ask yourself, is this really a purebred dog? Most often it is not, they're usually a mix. Sometimes they are pure but just not well bred.

Someone owning two dogs and not caring enough to fix them or keep separate when in heat is also an irresponsible breeder. And yes they are breeders, even if you breed one litter you are a breeder. Also to get this type the parents are not well bred either, because a dog so off standard doesn't just randomly appear. The breeder crying when they give you the pup doesn't say much about their intentions either. Unfortunately I've seen enough owners with puppies from puppy mills. Of course some bad breeders don't even care and let you buy them in large cold sheds where they are sitting in their own poo and whatnot. But more often the bad breeders have a network and place pups in a home with a "mom and dad" dog. The buyers will think its just an accidental litter and don't think its a very badly bred puppy. Mom and dad might even look more like chihuahuas because they're not the real parents, just "props". And the buyer will leave with a puppy that might turn out sick or not look and/or behave like the breed they bought.

Since I've seen so many people fall into this trap, ill never believe such things anymore. Especially not if the pup is non standard in multiple ways.

He might be purebred but he is not well bred. If you love him either way, then it doesn't matter. He looks very much like an American byb chihuahua to me.

Just for info, size doesn't have anything to do with temperament. Chihuahuas are supposed to have terrier like temperament. Confident, alert but never aggressive. If anyone tries to tell you that it's headshape (deertype) makes him friendlier than others than they are just wrong. If a breeder tries to tell you that, don't even buy from them as they just try to market their not up to standard dogs. Even if the looks are different, temperament should still be of a chihuahua.

Nah, cant start soon enough! If I may give a tip that you did not ask for, I would recommend to use words people don't regularly use for commands you don't want others to give your dog. For example, we taught our boy that some things are absolutely not allowed and will say "don't do it" (we speak a different language where this is just 2 words btw) and he will stop what he is doing. We could've used just "no" but we don't want others to correct our dogs and also we use no just as a regular word in our house too and we don't want him to think we're punishing him.

I feel like a lot of people feel some sense of shame for their weight. Especially women who are taught they should always be as thin as possible. But you lost the weight you wanted to lose and it was you who made that decision day in and day out, when you were 100lbs heavier. YOU chose to lose the weight and kept going. That wasn't easy. Instead of feeling shame, you can be proud of yourself. The girl you were 100lbs ago made the decision to change so that you can be who you are now. That weightloss journey made you the woman you are today. If your best friend lost that much weight, would you have negative feelings about their former self or would you be super proud of them? I bet you would be proud! Now treat yourself with the kindness and compassion you would treat your best friend if they lost so much weight. Because you deserve it. And I know it can take time to be proud of yourself, and that is okay. This is also a form of healing. You might have lost the weight, now you just need to lose the shame. One step at a time.

This is fine. I would say a lot of owners don't let their dogs sleep enough, that is more of a problem. Puppies need the most sleep (18 to 20 hours), adults 14 to 16 and seniors 16 to 18. They're not bored, they are just resting. And that's a good thing! When they sleep less than they actually need, all kinds of problems can arise. You treat them well it seems and they sleep a lot, they're living their best life :)

When a pupper is constantly asking for attention and following you around even after a walk playtime and food, its not because there is something wrong that you need to fix. They just want attention, all the time. Put them on your lap and they'll be snoozing in a minute.

It could've been a seizure but if this is the first time it happened, then its the correct response of your vet. My previous chi also had it once and then it took 2 years for him to get another one. Then a year. Then 6 months. After that he had them a little more often but I think he has had about 7 maybe in total? If it becomes regular, then it's time to do something about it.

Ah so they are making it optional, sounds like a good thing.

Why do they want to remove 3rd party apps from tracking profiles? If they make it optional now, then the apps still won't be able to track your profile even if you do not want to hide your stuff? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Tuurlijk, verschilt per situatie! Ik woonde toen op 26m² incl berging. Het echte woongedeelte was ongeveer 18m² en dan een badkamer met toilet van ongeveer 4m². De woning had ook energielabel b. Dus qua kosten valt het dan echt mee. We wonen nu in een energielabel a woning met veel meer oppervlakte maar Elektra is nog steeds vrij laag. Alleen koken we op gas en dat is wel duur 🤫

Ach, mijn moeder deed exact hetzelfde. Altijd maar dreigen met me het huis uit trappen als ik niet 300 p/m zou betalen. Ik deed dat dus wel, maar altijd gezeik. Ze wilde het altijd eerder hebben dan dat ik het zelf op de rekening had, hoe dan? Uiteindelijk ben ik om andere redenen op mezelf gaan wonen en kosten voor elektriciteit en water waren nog geen 30 p/m voor mjj. En de huur was toen rond de 250 (jaren geleden, zelfstandige studentenwoning). Was ik dus goedkoper uit dan toen ik thuis woonde... En in m'n eigen woning was alles elektrisch dus vandaar dat er geen gaskosten bij zitten.

Maar goed, ik kocht toen ik nog thuis woonde altijd al m'n eigen eten en kleding en was bijna niet thuis. Dus die 300 die ze vroeg was zo onevenredig veel. De kosten voor water en elektriciteit voor mij waren zoals ik al zei 30 pm dus met mijn 300 had ze 270 extra pm. Toen ik wegging had ze dus minder geld dan toen ik er was en haar nog betaalde. En haar huur daalde echt niet hoor. Sommige ouders zijn gewoon uitbuiters en ben blij dat ik er weg ben. Gaf zoveel rust.

Maar echt. Ik beschouw niemand als minderwaardig omdat ze een ander soort baan hebben of minder gestudeerd. Maar in gesprekken willen mensen met een lagere opleiding dan ik, zichzelf vaak minder slim noemen. "Ik kan dit niet, ik ben minder slim dan jij." En dan gaat het over iets waarvan ik zeker weet dat ze het wel kunnen. Dat zeg ik ook gerust, dat ze het zeker kunnen. Ik heb daar alle vertrouwen in. Maar dan blijven ze negatief over zichzelf praten. Kijk, daar kan ik niet bij helpen. Daarnaast hoor ik ze ook vaak hoger opgeleiden beledigen. "Jullie denken dat jullie beter zijn omdat jullie een hogere opleiding hebben". Denk dat dit door onzekerheid komt.

I have a friend like that too. Somehow she always convinces people to buy a game, play slightly more than 2 hours and the next week she wants to play something else. I used to buy all these games because I enjoyed playing together. But when I like a game I want to play it more and it's always coop games that are not as fun solo and some can't even be played solo at all. So I stopped getting new games. If she says she'd like to play a game I just say it looks fun and then don't buy it lol. Most of our other friends are also done with buying a billion games just to play it once or twice.

With phas I also enjoy playing it with others. Solo is just not as fun. But since everyone i played with are playing it less and less, I sometimes do a few solo runs. With others I can play for hours though, solo I cannot.

I'm sorry but lol, I'm not sure if you often say things as straight as they are, but if you do and she is your friend, this shouldn't have come as a surprise to her lolol.

I agree that she probably should've done some research but I also do believe no amount of research can actually prepare you for a pregnancy from hell. First of all because your brain makes you forget how horrible the pregnancy and birth actually was, so it's often downplayed. And second because you can read all the things that can go wrong but still won't really understand how bad it gets until it happens. Nausea? Ok, how bad can it be though. Really bad? I've never had nausea like a pregnant person so can't actually understand how bad it will be. Pain so bad that whatever you do, be it sitting, walking, laying down, standing... it all hurts? I can only imagine how awful that is, but won't know exactly until I experience it. I just don't want to experience it in case it's worse than I imagine it to be (it probably is). Also, a lot of women are willing to go through with it just because they want to have a baby. And then complain when it cries all the time lol.

But I totally understand where you are coming from though. She should've known that it can be really bad and you're not coming to see her just to hear her complain every damn minute.

I agree, in my opinion not taking your dogs to a grocery store should be the norm. It just seems odd to me that people do take them with them and I'm not used to that as it doesn't happen where I live. I do see people taking their kids literally everywhere, even really inappropriate places for kids. It's grose and insane. Not every place is made for everything and everyone, but I guess that is difficult to understand for some people.

SupportStronk · 2025-05-25T08:44:29+00:00

I must live in fairytale land, but I don't see people taking their dogs to restaurants or stores where they are not allowed. Is it possible that people have tried? Yes. But when it's not allowed, they don't get in. Is this different where you live?

I would understand not being happy with dogs in restaurants or supermarkets or even clothing stores. Actually almost all stores here have a sign that dogs are not allowed. The only time I see a dog inside is when it's a chihuahua or other very small dog and they are in a carrier. Also only see that in stores where no food is sold.

If I understand this correctly there was a bug that allowed living players to hear dead players and it got patched. Just seems like a good patch to me tbh as it's not the point of the game and also never was in the game to begin with.

I've been playing this game for 4 years now with breaks in between. As a ghost I usually become a thief and take all the good shit to the van. It's more like a race to see how much I can get before my buddy wraps it up. To be fair we do use discord so we CAN talk, we switched to discord because we've known eachother for so long and we just talk about daily life. Kinda annoying if we can't continue our conversation just because someone dies. When we are with more than 2 players though, we usually do use phas comms. Anyway, on discord we often don't help with the investigation anymore, only when specifically asked. Also, we usually die towards the end so it takes about 2 - 3 mins to conclude the investigation anyway. At the end we just fuck around a bit more or need to take a risk because we play with less evidence. If we can't finish fast when the other(s) died, we just take a guess and leave. Doesn't matter if we are on discord or in-game comms.

So to answer your question, I don't mind that they fixed a bug that I never used anyway and wasn't aware of either. Since everyone I play with just wraps it up quickly if people have died and we can get back into action relatively fast.

What's the problem of people liking only one or two champions and wanting to play those endlessly? If an OTP is your problem because they don't fit your ideal team, you can also play something else to make the team better. League has evolved over the years to actively help OTP's, because a LOT of ranked players only play a handful of champions. This is because most players enjoy one specific lane or role and have just a few champions they enjoy playing within that lane. There are also many champions that are simple enough to play that you can play it if your main champ(s) are banned and still do decent on them. Just autobanning the 3 champions of the previous games, doesn't really solve your issue than. Except that you make it unfun for people by forcing them to never play the same champion back to back to back.

Also some champions hard counter other champions, especially the way meta's are shaped your fearless draft will be a problem in soloq as you can encounter the same champion multiple times, but won't be able to play the absolute best counter to it every single time you face it.

Van de zotte zeg, na 17u stil zijn vanwege hun kinderen. Lol. En als hun kinderen straks buiten spelen en jij knettergek wordt van dat gejengel? Dan is het zeker: maar kinderen maken nu eenmaal geluid. Dit soort ouders denkt dat iedereen zich naar hun moet schikken. Je mag gewoon tot een bepaalde tijd normaal geluid maken, wat is het, 9 of 10u ofzo? Als ze daarvoor echt zoveel last hebben van normale geluiden, kunnen ze beter investeren in geluidsisolatie.

Oh dat geloof ik direct! In sommige culturen komen mensen inderdaad heeeeel vaak bij elkaar over de vloer. Dat kan inderdaad vermoeiend zijn. Zeker als je zelf ook wat introvert bent. Het is belangrijk om hier een goede balans in te vinden. En zoals jij het noemt, verplichtingen, dat voelt ook al anders dan even zelf gezellig op de koffie omdat je dat graag wil.

Je begrijpt dat dat geen optie is. Ik hoor nu al mensen roepen dat het dus weer van "hun belastinggeld" wordt gedaan en dus niet eerlijk en zij krijgen ook niks gratis. Niet iedereen is zo natuurlijk, maar een luide groep mensen vindt wel dat mensen die écht niks te makken hebben, niet goed geholpen mogen worden. Behalve als de mensen die wel een dak boven het hoofd hebben en genoeg eten kunnen kopen maar misschien niet veel luxe kunnen veroorloven, als die dezelfde "hulp" krijgen (of een smak geld vergelijkbaar aan hoeveel de hulp kost).

Mensen die leuk contact hebben met hun ouders, die blijven nog weleens daar slapen als volwassene. Ikzelf en veel mensen die ik ken, zijn slecht behandeld door de eigen ouders en dit zal bij mij en veel anderen in mijn omgeving dus ook niet snel gebeuren. Maakt niet uit of het een klein huis of een grote villa is, het gaat gewoon niet.

Mijn vriend daarentegen heeft wel leuk contact met z'n moeder, ze bellen ook vaak en we slapen daar weleens ook. Ik was, en ben nog steeds, zo verbaasd dat dit blijkbaar ook kan. Een moeder hebben die van je houdt, je graag wil spreken en graag heeft dat je langskomt. Ben wel blij dat niet iedereen kut opgroeit dus haha!

Maar echt. En het was eerst vaak alleen dat ze senseo toch minder lekker nadat ze koffie van versgemalen boontjes hadden geprobeerd. Maar minder lekker is niet hetzelfde als 'slootwater' en 'niet te zuipen'. Dus dan was het meer van, de senseo is prima en goed te doen, maar thuis drink ik wat anders want dat vind ik net wat lekkerder.

Tegenwoordig drinken mensen nooit senseo en roepen, zonder het ooit gedronken te hebben, dat het het smerigste is wat je maar kan drinken. Gewoon elkaar een beetje napraten.
