Okay, okay, I KNOW how this is going to sound and all, and call it a stereotype if you must, but I'm sorry I think the best word I could always find to describe many of the asian dog breeds I've come in contact with is..."INSCRUTABLE"!
(YES...I just said both the words "asian" AND "inscrutable" in the same sentence!...so SHOOT ME!!!)
You SEE at the local dog park, I have YET to meet a Chow Chow(BTW, let me ask you guys this...why the friggin' redundancy there, huh?!
) OR one o' those wrinkly little suckers known as the Shar-pei OR many of those big ol' scary lookin' suckers, the Akitas, and look 'em in the eye and get somethin' back in return...like a little ACKNOWLEDGEMENT maybe???!!!
(alternate theory: they've got a little cat in 'em)
No! Those suckers just look around and around and around, but seldomly look ya in the freakin' EYE, like say a Golden Retriever or a Lab does! Of course, THEY have their own little pecadillos!(but I digress)
I'm tellin' ya, sometimes I think some of these asian breeds are channeling the late chinese gentleman who ironically always played the "inscrutable" japanese interrogator in all those old WWII movies...RICHARD LO.
You guys remember him, don't cha? He was the dude who always said in 'em..."We have ways of making you talk, G.I.!"
(am I'm right....HUH???!!!)
