Our Chihuahua Quincy has a little “brother” now, we brought our new Chi puppy Nino home 2 weeks ago. They do get along very well, Quincy will be 2 years old in August and is very tolerant towards Nino. Both dogs come from the same breeder, when we went to visit Nino we took Quincy with us and again when Nino was old enough to go home with us. They play together a lot, until we think it is enough and time for a nap!

Myth: A wagging tail is the sign of a happy, friendly dog.

Not always! Canine body language is a study unto itself, but some basics are very helpful to know when approached by a dog you are not familiar with. Check out the rest of the dog’s posture; walking stiffly with the head and tail raised high and wagging slightly or twitching can be an aggressive stance - be especially cautious if the dog’s hackles are raised. If the dog’s head and front legs are lowered in a play-bow style, then she is being friendly. Recent studies have also shown that dogs wag their tails asymmetrically depending on how they are feeling about the person approaching. Wagging more strongly to the right indicates positive feelings and curiosity, wagging more to the left indicates negative feelings or apprehension.

Anxious dogs are frequently more likely to show aggression. Help your furry friend relax with new friends by supporting her emotional well-being.
