  1. I read the TOT sticky. Its very good. I will try it, although now is not a good time as me doing one thing and others doing things differently wont fix any problems. I just hope it doesn't get to bad before we move out in 6 months.
  2. Thanks for the quick replies! At the moment we have problems with leadership. Me and my partner are building our house so for now our JR is living at home with my partners parents. They have no control or discipline what so ever. She can basically do what she likes until I get home or my partner does. Then she turns to us for leadership and sort of like defends us from everyone else. I wont get into all the things she gets away with but it ranges from being fed at dinner time when the people are getting fed, free run of the house, sleep inside (but not on bed). She does get away with lots, but not from her actual owners (me and my partner) but other people.... Now that im typing this out I can see where (some of, if not all of) the problems are coming from.
  3. We have a 2.5 yr old female (de-sexed) JR. She is a great dog, very obedient off leash, fun to be with. Gets along great with kids and other people (most of them)..... But Whenever she is on our lap, in our bedroom or on the bed she gets VERY aggressive to everyone else but me and my partner. She growls and barks. If we are asleep and anyone comes upto us she will literally bite them if they stick a hand out to touch us. If we wake up and see the same person that came into the room 1 minute later our JR will be fine and friendly as if nothing happened. And when we let her out the front yard to play and have a sniff about she is fine with almost everyone walking past. But whenever a Indian/Middle eastern looking person walks past she gets very aggressive and barks at them and chases them.... and its only dark colored skin people. My Partner is Vietnamese and I am Australian so its not like we have trained her to be racist. We came to the conclusion that when she was younger she would run upto people and some people get very nervous and scream/shriek/run which made her bark and now its a terrible habbit. Any suggestions on how we may fix or at the very least soften this type of behavior? Oh, she has 3 other dogs in the yard with her ALL day and goes for walks daily with one of the other dogs (they are Pomeranian and Chihuahuas) and gets along fine with all of them. Its like there is a switch in her head, where she is the best dog in the world to this terrible creature and back again all in the space of one minute. Very bizarre. Any tips appreciated

    Do any of you hunt with your EP? Cant decide on EP, GSP or the wire haired variants. Im leaning towards the EP as they seem to be less "hypo"

    Chihuahua

    This is our Chihuahua 'KiKi'. Pronounced 'Key key". She LOVES Buddy our JR. Not sure how much bigger she will get, hopefully not much. She is around 7 months old. Very outgoing. Loves running through the fields/forest/rivers chasing whatever Buddy is chasing. These are two very funny positions we have managed to get photos of.
