L.A. County CA - Wolfdogs at the Park

I really like the photo of the chihuahua (mix?), looking like it thinks it might somehow be in charge of Ghost. And Ghost, with the expression like "Um, really?"

So, did you find that the two dogs seemed to recognize that they were the same breed (interact more exclusively with eachother than other dogs at the park)? I have noticed (even with my own dogs, in my own pack), that my CSVs seem to be able to pick eachother out, and will often just ignore dogs of other breeds - like a CSV only club! But maybe it's only a fluke...

our pup lives with two little bitches under 10lbs.., he knows they aren't anything to be messed with...

Ron, Lex's owner, wondered the same thing whether they recognized each other as a breed. I'm not sure myself if they did or didn't but they did find that being annoying to one another was more tolerated than with other dogs. Things like jumping on one another, rolling, tripping, etc didn't get bad responses out of either of the dogs.

That's it, exactly! I get a quiet chuckle when people come to meet my dogs and bring their "energetic dog who would love another energetic dog as a companion" along to meet and greet. I don't know that other breeds are necessarily ready for the CSV in the way that their owners are expecting!

Kind of like dropping off an 8 year old energetic child into a professional rugby match!
