what you consider a danger and what the law considers a danger are two different things.
Educated dog
Ah, so it's not just my Ridgie that does not appreciate strangers. We're actually trying to get her to calm down a bit - she's too protective, scares guests.
Ours is just over a year old now. She's very much part of our family, sleeps in our room with us at night, watches tv with us on the couch. Absolute sweetest girl we could ask for, built like a tank though. We've done training, but just basic stuff and she sticks with us when we're out - Ridgies seem to have a very strong bond with their family.
. Eyes bulging, teeth showing and back hair lifting up. He didn't move but he didn't like that one bit.
dude in yard that I believe is carrying a weapon and is advancing on me in the darkness = life in danger
I really hope you never have to put your beliefs to the test in the eyes of the law. Please educate yourself before you end up in more trouble than you want or need.
oh please, I can give you multiple examples of direct contacts of mine that have already blown criminals away, NONE have been found guilty of ANYTHING
Our boerie and foxy spent many years together. She (boerie bitch) played very roughly, and he (foxy) was quite a bit older than her, and about 50 times smaller. He started snapping back eventually, and it would just sort of cool down and they'd go their separate ways. Until one day, she wasn't having any of it, and turned on him. Luckily, we were in the yard at the time. He had to have emergency surgery with tubes hanging out of his throat for drainage (his whole head was in her mouth at one point), and never ventured into the back yard again - we just weren't going to risk it. So he moved indoors, and went out to the front to do his business.Boeries and Rotties have a vast range of personalities. Jasper was not friendly with other dogs. I remember standing with him in the dog school while they sit in a row. Then some dude brings out another dog and lets him sniff the first dog in the row from head to toe. The first dog was already trained but the concept is for them to learn the behaviour of remaining calm. Jasper and me was last in the queue and I was panicking more than him.
The dog finally arrives and starts sniffing. He didn't like that for one second
I still believe a level of responsibility is required and all this who ha of "my dog will never bite a kid" or something is exactly why we end up with stories like this:
Might be the friendliest dog in the world but I can see from his stance and the kids movement that this isn't a good situation.
Never around kids without me around. Both to klap the kid if he does something stupid like smack my dog's face and to have control over the dog since they are still animals.
