Hi. Howdy eBay Cafe is about non eBay. Here's my Grand Dog Frenchie!

My daughter rescued Frenchie from the streets of Mexico. She has an incredible fear of men.

Hi Frenchie!! 🐶🐶🐶

Do you guys know anything about her life before your daughter rescued her?

Hi. thank you for asking.  We don't even know how old she is. Maybe 2 or 3. She's slowly warming up to men. She has a wonderful peaceful temperment very similar to the Lhasa apso I had.  Apparently these dogs are wild not abandoned pets.  There is no spay/neuter possibility for them.

The women are known to feed them. This may explain the lack of fear towards them. There's a law against culling them and  there's a lack of humane resources in Mexico s the problem perpetuates.  Many starve and the vultures eat them. 

You can get a pretty good idea about their lives 1 minute into this YouTube video. 

Wild Dogs Of Mexico

Lhasa Apso!!! My friend had one and I honestly thought she had the only Lhasa Apso in Canada! So nice to hear that my friend's puppy had a cousin!!! 

Ah, so the strays in Mexico are similar to the stray dog population in Europe. I've traveled to Greece, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal and have seen stray dogs galore in their cities. On the Greek islands, there are colonies and colonies of stray, wild cats. Same thing - a lack of resources to spay/neuter the animals. 

Your daughter was so kind to rescue her and bring her back to Canada. Glad to hear Frenchie is warming up to men.

Thank you. I let her know you mentioned that. 

    I've been a regular listener to Warren Eckstein's radio show "The Pet show". He often talks about why these abandoned dogs make the best pets. My daughter's dog seems to be thankful every day. Never a problem. The Lhasa is similar. They don't rely on other animal friends after bonding with one human. 

   Lhasa's originated in the Himilayas. They live up to the homeland in Canada because they have an affinity for snow.  It will be interesting to see how Frenchie handles our frozen tundra. I suggested my daughter may want to pick up a doggie sweater and some moccasins.
