Description
Captured 4/4/15 @ 8:49 am, looking into a neighbor's patio in my otherwise congenial condominium complex.
These guys hopped and jumped around so wildly that I couldn't get a good composition or focus on them. I was lucky to even get this.
The black female is named Yogi, the brown one is Simba. I've know them for years already, with no change in their attitude. And please, no timeworn advice about offering them any tasty snacks or tidbits to mollify them. It doesn't work, and the owners don't appreciate it. All the pups want is my throat, or ankle.
Cheerio.

Dad, you're funny !
Fanatastic captures and dogs!!!
I'm afraid ours wouldn't be much friendlier. Some of this due to lack of socialization with other people, and the fact that they're very territorial. They're fine once someone comes into the yard or house; but on the sidewalk they're certain to let any would be intruder that they're there, and this is their yard. The puppy still barks at the next door neighbor; but in all fairness, she has only seen her only a couple times as it turned into winter rather quickly after we acquired her and the neighbor hasn't been out much during the winter. I'd say you caught them well in their natural state. They seem like they're both quite aggressive.
Excellent Capture of these Vicious Dogs!!!
Great captures! Little vicious dogs need to be taught whose boss... mark their yard. See how owners appreciate that ;)
Very fine idea to post this series !!
Little dogs that are part (or all), Chihuahua can be the worst. The Spaniards reported the breed originated as a food item. If this is true, they weren't selected for trainability as a working breed would be. However, after looking at your thumb, I don't blame them for barking...;=D
not a big fan of this little barkers, my last dog seldom barks , only when screaming children where in the neighbourhood
very aggressive little dogs...excellent series !!!
They do look terribly fierce; little dogs can often be much more threatening than big dogs. I guess they feel like they have something to prove...good shots under the circumstances, Harry!
Thank goodness there was a fence or gate keeping them away from you! The hazards of neighborhood walks. Nice series, Harry.
"exactly", on Denise's observation about small dogs. Another wild and telling shot of dogs barking at you. And don't worry, I'd never suggest giving them a treat (ala your description), it could be a fatal move. One of the things I always loved about your barking dog shots is the wildness of them...there's something about your captures that has this jazz-like wild energy to them. The skewed relation of the dogs to their background. The way they're in in-between poses---because barking can put them into such odd and twisted postures. The contrast of their aggression with the still concrete and plants around them, and so on. (They have the energies of your padlock shots.) You have 2 solo shots here, and end with a pair---and that pair-shot has them lined up on one side, while the rest of the area is just unmoving concrete and planter. Real contrast. These barking shots are always engaging, and fun---so long as you're not too close. And "yogi" and "simba" make them sound so cuddly. Well, from a distance maybe... Harry, I had stopped at 6, but after visiting a few galleries, I came back (and happily so). I have one more to go (an artist I haven't visited in weeks), so I'll sign off once more---but 9 images in one morning isn't bad, for me. Always a pleasure, no matter when or how many. And btw, you WERE the first commenter on my Doggie Drive-In piece: No one beat you to it. And, as always, a great and much appreciated comment, esp considering the 3d grade drawing. Thanks as always, Harry.
