Dogs in Baja
Courtesy of Tehags' comment: "I'm puzzled, Sharksbaja, why does one NEED a dog in Mexico?"
Question: Do you think my car, camp, or place in Baja would be safer if I have a dog present?

I'm amazed how afraid mexican people are of dogs...even little ones...many men who come to get their radios fixed with Juan sit in their car and honk
until we come out because they are afraid of the dogs! Juan won't go into someones yard to knock on the door if they have a dog...so they REALLY help
protect your camp for sure...but the best guard pet we had was our owl NIco...the kids were terrified of him! The horse also is intimidating.

Dogs not only help protect you, they are someone to talk to and they love you unconditionaly. Our three dogs, are my "other" children, and I hate
leaving them behind.

Why not? A big lump of stuff makes a perfect launching pad for bottle rockets.

I'm sure there are plenty of used liquor bottles laying around to use for launching. Doggy doo doo is such a bad thang for you to play with.

Dogs Are Good
Anyplace in the world, if you understand them and give them proper structure.
They are not small people, they are dogs, so you need to instruct them - be a pack leader.
Regardless of size or breed, if they are properly socialized, they will be a great addition to your family and will give their all to protect you.

What? It is a tradition to poop there and I demand the freedom to let my dog continue to do so. Did I spell that right?

Grammar police here---didn't you mean to say, "Did I spell that correctly?"
Now, we need to know to what the pronoun, that, refers. Was it the entire sentence or perhaps just the word poop?
Poop, are you referring to a ship, a state of exhaustion, or defecation---noun or verb????
Now, as far as the idea of canine freedoms, are they inherint or are they granted??
Yes, you must clarify your posts.
BTW your sweet puppy dog would hardly qualify for protection against evil. She is a sweetie even if she still likes trash bags. 
Back on topic. Our big dog is a worthless watch dog. One statement of cute dog, or a scratch behind the ear, and the campsite would be history. But
his big bark does help.
Now, about the little dog----look out!

Meet the mighty Cedric
A Baja native who is enjoying a little Baja rain...that famous '6-inch' downpour. The drops are about as far apart as Cedric is long.

The Hound
We heard a strange sound just before dawn. Very faint and errie voice in the wind...whispering Damiana?..or Damien?
We look outside and there is this hound sitting there....quietly staring at the house. Brrrrr.....
Scurrying inside we turn back for another look and it is gone.
I miss the old rooster.

I voted Yes.
I also got an email today from an English Mastiff breeder.
http://www.nacimientomastiffs.com/
I submitted a puppy application a while back. It was accepted and put on file for when/if they had a breeding. They have, and we could be dog owners
by mid summer IF I can talk Dern into it.
The talking into it part is not going so well. I think it's too soon after loosing Cora.
I thought that Gene Kira's website photo of an English Mastiff in Baja would help my cause.
Not.
Please send dog vibes our direction.
P<*)))><
ps. Dern, if you read this, no pressure. Really.
