Q & A / Re: Questions of depth of field and safe heights
« on: July 12, 2013, 07:51:25 AM »
I got to the conclusion that my chin memorizes the rooms and runs from memory. I sometimes make fun of him am put obstacles on the paths he is taking (something soft, not harmful like a toilet paper roll) and watch him bump into it.
I am afraid of keeping him on my shoulder at that height because he will first jump and then think, ar at least that's what he proved to me in the last year

Q & A / Re: not using chin chiller?
« on: July 12, 2013, 07:16:40 AM »
My chin is 2 years old and the room temperature in the summer (from May till September) in around 27 C (80.6 F). He is very active. The maximum temperature he got was 30 C. He is fine.
In the winter he does something quite strange for a chin. He climbs the radiator (water radiator) and just sits there like a cat. The radiator is very hot so whenever i see him doing that i take him off the radiator.
My opinion is that the chins are getting used to the climate they are born into and what is deadly hot for one chin may be ok for another.

Q & A / chin poop too soft
« on: October 31, 2012, 03:09:00 PM »
Hello,
For 4 days now my chin's poop is not as hard as it usually was. It's not liquid but it's very soft.
2 weeks ago i gave him fresh wheat. After that i kept his normal food. The vet told me i could give him fresh wheat.
Now for almost 2 weeks his diet is normal but his poop is still soft.
What should i do? Give him some mint tea?
Thank you.

Conformation and Quality / Standard chin - is he pure breed?
« on: September 18, 2012, 07:51:08 AM »
Hello,
I read on the forums that you can never know if a chin is pure breed if you get it from the store. Is there anyway to tell if my chin is pure breed just from pictures?

Oh, and he is around 1 year and 2-4 months old from what the store told me. I had him for a year now and i think he is smaller from what i can see on the forums. Is he going to get bigger? (i like him like this )
Thank you
Dan

I always kept an eye on his behavior and on his ears (i read they get red if he is hot) but he is happy and jumping around. He never sat in one place on his belly or gave any sign that suggests he is hot.
More strange is that last winter i had about 21 C (70 F) in the room and after playing he was resting on the radiator, and believe me, that is very hot (alot more than 50 c (122 F). He sat there comfortably for more than 5 min or until i saw him and got him down (the radiator is behind the curtain). That moment i realized he loves heat and hates cold.
Is there something wrong with my crazy chin?

Im not saying i know better. That's why i started this conversation. In the pet store they are also kept at room temperature and the guy there told me they adapt. I did not believe him at first, but i don't know what to think any more.
As i said Pufi is very happy and his poop is ok. He eats ok and plays alot.
I did not intentionally kept him at high temp. Just few times when i was not keeping a eye on the temp, the AC was running but was not able to lower temp, and as soon as i have seen that i switched the AC to max power.

but he was happy. and he still is. all the summer he did not have the temperature below 25C because the AC cannot handle the heat outside (reaching 40C mid summer). i guess i would have seen some signs of overheating, don't you think?
He is very active and never saw him lying down on the ceramic tile in his cage.

Hello,
I have read many times about this before and after i got my chin (1 year ago) and i have that more than 24C is critical for a chin. I tend to disagree.
My chin Pufica has been living in about 28C for the whole summer sometimes the temp went to 30C or 31C. 99% of the time my air conditioning was set to 28C.
I must say he is very happy even at 31C jumping and pop-corning like hell. At first i was afraid after reading all about this on the internet but now I know for sure he is ok over 24C. I did not have 31C for more than 3 hr till i realized and turned on the AC. It did not seem to bother him
Do they adapt to the local weather?
Thank you
