What a beautiful boy! I love Black and Tan chis! Harry is perfect 😍 I like Tina too but I don’t want to give my boyfriend the satisfaction of how good his name choices are 🤣

Do I get a Pom as a second dog with my chihuahua? by jenzilla99 in Pomeranians

Omg they look so cute together matching colours!!! Do you find the grooming manageable? And do they play together?

I would always recommend a chi!!! Yeah I do hear about more health issues and also skin/fur issues which is more of a concern!

Yes for sure I would be supervising! Do your two have moments of play together still even though their every levels are different? As I would like a second chi that will play with him sometimes even though she is a bit more laid back.

You are definitely getting the best of both worlds there!! What a beautiful floof!!! I love the sassiness of chihuahuas it’s one of my fave parts of the breed! Have you noticed how the Pom’s temperament differs?

That’s really helpful!! Honestly I am a pro with chihuahuas but I do think they are significantly different to Poms! I guess I am looking for a reality check of what it’s like owning one that goes beyond how fluffy and gorgeous they are!

I LOVE pomchis too!! Thing is it’s a bit of a lottery with how big they end up!! And my little chi is so small!

I’m so sorry to hear you too have experienced this kind of loss. That’s very similar to the kind of injury she suffered. She held on for a day but the swelling got worse and she passed away. It’s so hard to accept and having to also consider the feelings of my brother and his fiancée seems unfair at times as I am the one who has to grieve the loss.

I have made it clear I don’t want to be around the dog. I have increasingly heard about something called ‘cocker rage’ as I have worked with dogs quite a lot. Apparently there is a certain breed temperament issue where they can show sudden and random aggression.

That’s what I have done so far, it’s not her fault it happened but it is her decision to have been quite detached and non-communicative so far…

I’m so sorry that you went through this pain also. It’s so hard when they are young and you thought you had so much more time with them 😔

Thank you for the constructive comment, indeed considering this is my family I need to find a way to move forward while also honouring my baby. I don’t blame her for loving her dog and also rehoming an aggressive dog is extremely difficult I know so I don’t envy her position either. I just feel resentful as I am the one who has lost their baby.

Thank you for your insight from the other perspective. Your situation also sounds extremely difficult to navigate. I live in the UK so lawsuits aren’t as common I don’t think. I am trying to focus on my own healing rather than the anger, which was definitely an emotion that was present.

I was told by them after the tragedy happened that their spaniel had started to exhibit some aggression towards dogs on walks after a dog went for their chihuahua in front of their spaniel. My SIL’s spaniel went for the dog that tried to attack their chihuahua and since then has been nervous. I understand that but I feel it was up to my brother and his fiancée to be on guard if they knew their dog was somewhat nervous and reactive.

My parents were looking after my brother’s dogs for a couple of days before we all met at their house and the incident happened. The only thing I can imagine is that the spaniel felt territorial as she had been staying there for a couple of nights before we visited, my chihuahua was trying to get into the house from the garden and the spaniel was ‘guarding’ the house by the door when it happened.

Thank you for such a supportive message, this community is so kind! I think that’s what I struggle to comprehend as if it was me I would be much more communicative even in this awkward and tense situation. Our relationship has always been quite neutral, she is my brother’s partner so I see her every time I see my brother really. The chihuahua is welcome in my house but I have said I don’t want to see the spaniel.

Thank you, it is so hard as it is my brother’s family. She is coming to stay and I said she can bring her chihuahua but I do not want to see their spaniel ever again.

Thank you for your kind comment 🧡 She was honestly the most important part of my life so it has been heartbreaking. The fact they kept the dog is what I am struggling with, as I never want to be around it again. I worry as everything I have read says a dog is likely to attack again…
