Dangerous Breed

Tweet

When I was walking Chiquitin in the park an old man told me that I shouldn't be walking a dangerous breed that can kill someone. My reaction? I was mad at him and said '' the only dangerous here are humans like you'' . These are the type of people that I hate the most, I hate people who judge dogs just because of their breed. Before I decide to have a certain dog into my family I first research for the needs of that dog to fully know the breed and know how to care for them. I love large breeds specially rotties and GSDs, when I first had my rottie my goal is to prove people that they were wrong about the breed. Sadly whenever I walk my Chiquitin people never fail to give a negative impression, calling my dog a dangerous breed, killer, aggressive and all other labels. Who is Chiquitin? ZEUS PEANUT CHIQUITIN is his real name, why? well his daddy named him Zeus to resemble power and strenght, my sister called him Peanut because he was small and I happened to sang a ''Chiquitin song'', Chiquitin means little one in spanish. However he only responds to ''Chiquitin'', he always whine for almost everything. He whines when he hears me, he whines when he wants to play and when he wants to go to walk. He knows commands like ''sit, echate (lie down), dame (give it to me) and the famous no. He is afraid of his chicken toy that makes the chicken sound. He has two brothers Momoshin the chihuahua and Imadori the Pekines mix. He loves to play tag and fetch, he loves to give kisses and cuddles a lot. He knows when we say good boy and when we tell him his a bad boy, he loves to eat ice cubes and drink cold water in the hot summer day. And he asks to let him out when he wants to go poo and pee by knocking the slide door and he knocks again when he wants to be let in. He is afraid of plastic bags and moving chair, he also loves to play with plastic bottles and with his ball. His favorite snack is banana, he would do anything for his banana, whenever he finishes his food he goes on collecting his dog bowl and his brothers' dog bowls to have it exchange for a banana. He picks up everything that is on the ground to have it exchange for a banana. He listens attentively when we talk to him and sits by our side and place his paw to plead for something. It hurts me so much whenever people go and judge my Chiqui, it is like calling you a killer even you haven't killed anybody. Is Chiquitin a dangerous breed? He is a 1 year old pure rottweiler breed, he is a working breed and like every other dog he likes to cuddle, play and is the sweetest thing ever. Dangerous? the only danger I see is people taking advantage of his innocence and hurt him. His breed doesn't make him dangerous, how we raise them reflects of what type of owner a dog has. We are the one who made them the way they are and not the breed itself, we teach them to be how we want them to be. Stop judging the breed, if the dog is aggressive, don't blame the breed right away, give time to learn how the dog was raised and what kind of environment that he is in to understand why the dog is like that. Maybe just maybe we can stop dogs from being put down just because some stupid owner failed to provide what it needs, or doesn't know a thing about the breed before having one. Do your research first before taking a dog in, be a responsible owner and don't judge the dog by its breed. Respect the dog and its breed, they deserve it. Warning Chiquitin can give too much love.
