Small yappy dogs have been a bane. I deal, mostly. I agree about the dane and don't have enough personal familiarity with the other two to have informed opinion.

Maybe we could arrange a trade with Peru and Korea. Send small yappy dogs to Korea, and buy Peru's new strain of large, meaty Guinea Pigs and some Capybaras for pets. Guinea pigs don't bark and are edible, and Capybaras are pretty big. Not sure how edible. Would maybe substitute as dog. I've never met one. I'll have to look this up. I know they're cute. And the Koreans would be fed.

(And squirrels are "Evil Tree Rats" They ate my mother's soffits. Maybe we could trade some of them somewhere.)


I don't have a large fenced yard, but manage. I realise my dog could use more work, but he's a sweet, placid, sort. Until a jogger happens. I hope you get to have at least a reasonably-sized doggie soon.

I could give you some Evil *Black* Tree Rats from hereabouts. Seriously, the black ones are the most common, and the other colours have kind of hybridized, so one gets black/grey red/grey red/black body/tail combinations, and I did once see one that was all black except for a white tip on its tail. (For the real white ETRs you have to go north a piece to Exeter.) There are very few solid-coloured ones except for the black ones -- the genes must be dominant as hell. :)
