Title: female black velvet
Post by: mb30 on March 24, 2012, 03:07:26 PM
Is it true that female chins...black velvet specifically are the ones with the most attitude?

Well, I have to chuckle at this question.  I have always said that personality is not based on color.  It is purely based on what they see from their mother and how much hands on they have with people from a young age.  However, I have 4 black females in my herd that are certainly much higher in attitude than my other girls.  I was just saying to my husband the other day that if I didn't know better I would swear it comes with the color!

On the other hand I have 2 black velvet males and both are very laid back and gentle.

Im pretty sure males are more low-key than females by nature. I was just curious as we got our female BV and at times she can have a bad attitude. Pushing things around and such. Although we did get her from a pet shop in which she lived in horrible conditions. Ive spent the last 7 months with her and shes great with me. Shes not a big fan of my wife though haha.

Hmmm...have a black velvet male who is just as laid back, sweet and lazy as can be. Now my two females..one is a standard gray and the other a mosaic...they are like living in a chin college dorm..wild and crazy as hell...party girls. Bella Luna, the mosaic female....I must say has the attitude! She is bit snooty at times and definitely has her own agenda....love them all...each is so individualistic!  :2funny: ::silly::

Our black velvet female is a feisty little devil. I got a text from my wife one night telling me to hurry home because our chin was making war cry sounds and charging at her haha.
