Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Should've got a bigger dog......

If the cat has claws and can twist around the bird is the one in deep kimche. Dogs is a different story.

Chihuahuas - As a kid, had an aunt who used to raise about two litters a year of those things.

They would sit on the heated floor vents in the wintertime, shaking and shivering. If you forgot and got within a foot or so, they would run out and bite you on the shin.

In the hot summertime, they still sit on the floor vents even at 90 degrees, shaking & shivering.

Only difference, they would run out about 5 or six feet and bite you on the shin.

Only dog breed I'm biased against,....... guess that is why.

As long as you appreciate the birds who win

Like someone else said....get a bigger dog.

My family has three...I have one...Black Lab...no worries here.

best javalina dog i ever saw was a chihuahua. belong to a buddy that lived on the kingranch, when we were growing up in kingsville. his dad was a vaquero on the ranch and that little dog went everywhere with him

Hey, birds gotta eat too.

glad you qualified that

see....I knew you were diplomatic

I get along just fine with my sisters 2 chiuahuas. Of course since she lives in Louisianna and only see them about every 2 years they don't get to the point that they bug me.

Just a realist.

We had an owl family set up in the woods. They got one of the neighbor cats, from looking at the sign, the owl got the cat airborne, the cat got dropped from height, and then the owls had supper.

A friend lost one of his Chihuahuas to a hawk a few years ago - he let the dog out while he was working on the car, wasn't paying attention for a minute, and poof, no dog. Since then his other two never go outside.

I can't see getting one, but his other two Chihuahuas are actually okay dogs. He had a Superbowl party, and one of them jumped on the couch, climbed up my lap and vigorously licked my face, even though I'd never met him before. I don't mind them, if they are friendly.

A friend's neighbor in Southern California had a Scottie pup in the back yard. She went outside, looked up, and a gen-u-eine California Condor was sitting on a pole, eyeing the dog She said it looked like a man in a cape it was so damn big.

My cats stay inside. One would die of fright if she went out, and Bandit is so curious and friendly, he'd get killed, eaten, or kidnapped. No fear of people, dogs, or anything. Two different cat haters have admitted they like him.

I was worried my wife's new pooch would end up as owl food when he was a pup. I made sure I stayed close when we let him out at night.

Thanks for that. I hadn't laughed really hard all day, until I read that.

+1 for the Owls!

If anything ever does that to me it better be my wife or look like Elle Macpherson!

You done raised that boy right. Give yerself a pat on the back.

My brother and his wife Miniature long hair Chihuahua� as if a regular Chihuahua was not small enough.

Wish some hungry hawk or pigeon would help him reclaim his manhood

My stepmother asked if we were concerned if our cocker (as a puppy) would be safe enough outside while we were at work, concerned that the hawks would get it.

My daughter said that if the thing was too stupid to walk into the yard without looking around first then we didn't want it....

I sighted a pair of Great Horned Owls for the first time in our neighbourhood this winter. Nice suburban area. Mind you, we also get deer, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, etc.

I was at a gas station near Mile 150 on the Alaska Highway about 20 years ago. We were filling up all our tanks, on the way to a hunt.

Suddenly we heard a terrible wailing shriek coming from a woman out in a field near the gas station.

We all dropped what we were doing, and ran towards her as fast as we could run.

Sobbing hysterically she pointed to the sky.

There, struggling to gain altitude, was a huge Golden Eagle flying off - while packing her sweater-wearing Chihuahua beneath it.

It seems she had taken it out of their big RV, walked to a nearby field - and let it off the lead for a run, when the eagle swept down on it.

Her husband, who was filling up the RV, muttered under his breath to my buddy - "God I hate that dog - I hope the eagle doesn't drop it!" - all the while, standing alongside his RV, looking relatively unconcerned, and continuing to fuel his vehicle up.

When we heard the story later, from our buddy, about what the guy had said - we almost broke our ribs laughing.

Cruel men we are.
