This is my daughter's 3 year old Chihuahua-Terrier mix, Zoe. We've been pooch sitting her for a week, so I guess she is part ours for the moment. Every time she encounters another dog, she adopts the Alpha-female dominant posture - tail straight up like a flagpole. She doesn't seem to realize she is so small! She is so agressive she backed up my sister-in-laws full grown border collie - in his house, no less! I always thought dogs were territorial on their home turf. She is merely curious about people, never aggressive.
(btw... - someone once told me that budgerigar in the Aborigine tongue means - good to eat - don't tell Henry

)
Here is Zoe checking out my camera.
She seems to be asking if I've captured her good side.
Here is the vicious guard-beast watching a runner go past.
