How Often?

It is so much harder to guage how short you can cut the black ones. Dew claws just suck? That goofy Bell has them on her back legs too. I ordered...

Males and Females
(Preview)
I know with some breeds they say you should not have one of each gender in the same home (unless breeding of course, and then they're kept seperate anyway...), I was just wondering if that applies to Chi's at all. If you just have pets, do you find that a certain gender combination gets along best?

What can I do?

But as soon as we go to put it on her, her ears drop and she is reluctant to put her feet through it and j...
