Luxie's Livin' Large Foster dog Luxie. 10 years old. 15 lbs. www.ccrt.net Luxie is a 10-year-Chihuahua who’s loving, healthy and just a little overweight.

Don’t let her age fool you – she is extremely active and loves chasing her ball, going on walks, going for roller blades, or going for a car ride. She has separation anxiety and needs a home with someone around more often than not (even post-covid). She always wants to be by her human, following her around, sitting beside her, pawing for pets. She currently sleeps in bed right by her foster mom’s

head. She does need to lose about 2 pounds to be at a healthy weight, and she will do her best to work you for treats whenever possible, so her new owner must be strong and resist her cuteness. She does have some mild food aggression around other dogs. She is now eating with the other dogs in the household, but if they come too close she will go after them. She is more of a dominant dog and her play style is very rough, which is overwhelming to most dogs. If she were to live with another dog in the household, it should be around the same size, and comfortable with rough play. She can be a bulldozer and doesn’t always look where she is going, so she can push over other small dogs. Due to her bulldozer habits, she would not do well with a home with small children (as she would likely knock them over and possibly hurt them). Luxie would not be suitable for apartment living as she can be a barker. She loves to bark at squirrels, people, birds, anything she sees out the window. She would do well as an only dog or with a suitable dog companion (see above). We haven’t tested her with cats, but suspect she would chase them, as she has a high prey drive. Luxie is housebroken but her leash manners need a bit of work, as she pulls a lot and is surprisingly strong for such a small dog. Luxie needs a home with humans to love on her frequently, who are active and will take her on lots of walks and be happy to throw her ball for her.

She has gotten better about not bullying or tormenting Odin when he plays…but still needs a reminder from time to time . When she first came Odin couldn’t play at all with her in the area.

Very proud of Luxie today at the park. Lots of new dogs (some bigger than she is used to), lots of running and playing. She did need to be redirected on several occasions…but overall did really well.

Luxie fact #3. She is dog selective. Dog tolerant and dog selective are the most typical places for a mature dog to be (dog social and dog aggressive are the other 2 that are not as common). Luxie is pretty much the definition of dog selective, which is considered normal/common in mature dogs.
Dog selective dogs will have a circle ‘approved’ dogs or types that they will do well with . Scuffles will break out quickly as they typically have short fuses. They may dislike certain play styles or types of dog on sight, and may be less than stellar on leash with other dogs. They often are seen as the ‘fun police’ or instigator in group situations. The require lots of supervision and positive direction in situations involving other dogs.

Luxie has become a pro at ‘wait’. If you notice she watches me and not the food. Amazing little girl.
