Would Your Dog Protect You ?Have you ever wondered if your dog/s would protect you if the need arose. Last night my OH came home earlier than usual, Heiko started barking like mad, hackles up he looked real scary OH opened door slightly Heiko was going mad BUT,when i went to see what was going on he was stood at kitchen door then went behind me, ´WUS´ then he realised who it was, so im not sure if hed have had a go or not. From the topic: Comments Post a comment in this discussion: 21 Jan 2012 11:21 If a stranger comes into my house then they´d get licked to death by everybody, with Jessie the staffy leading the charge - useless guard dogs they are! However, outside would be a different story. Jessie is wary of strangers & very protective of me but fortunately always checks my reaction to the person before doing anything - if I felt threatened I think she would probably eat them! Ruby, Naka, & Shinga love everyone, all of the time, so there´s no point in expecting them to protect me :-) Thembi makes a lot of noise trying to scare strangers off by panic-barking & if they approach her she runs back to me screaming like she´s been hurt - proper WUS!! Only Jodie actually means business on the protection front. Years ago my OH thought it would be funny to jump out from behind the door, give me a fright & pretend to hit me. Jodie was sitting on my lap at the time enjoying a cuddle & she flew at him snarling with lips curled & teeth bared. He didn´t move quickly enough & she bit him on the hand, not seriously but enough to draw blood! Silly boy, thinking he good get away with threatening her Mum :-D 15 Jan 2012 01:43 Years ago i had a x j.r.t e.b.t and i used to work night shifts. One day when i was asleep during the day my partner came into the bed room. To wake me up to ask if i would like to have lunch with him he didn´t even get near the bed. When Badger suddenly shot out from under the duvet and pinned my partner up against the wall snarling and growling at him. Badger wasn´t used to any body suddenly coming in while we where asleep and didn´t realise that it was ok for my partner to be there. Guess who never got took for lunch after that because Badger tried to eat him. My partner stormed off in the huff and had lunch on his own after he´d given Badger and myself a few choice words. Thankfully he did forgive Badger 14 Jan 2012 13:11 Haaaaaaaa! @ May, . guess oh wont be playing that game again Sue Years ago when l had Tor & lmpey my OH tried something similar, he crept outside in the dark with an old coat and hat the dogs spotted him and were going mental ,l opened the door his coat was ripped off in seconds luckily he had common sense to speak or l dread to think what might have happened. 14 Jan 2012 02:50 My lot couldn´t guard a rice pudding. Shingi barks at people coming into the house but that´s after she´s hid her self under a chair. and that´s even people who have come into my house for years. Every Sunday my best friend has to go though Shingi´s ritchill and she´s done this from a puppy. And she is 10 yrs old now 13 Jan 2012 18:57 I have just found out who would protect in the house if on me own, they are Comet, Billy & Rosiemay me 3 cats they have just jumped down on me neighbours head hissing & scratching his face so at least I know I am 100% safe that is if they are in me house & not outside in their pen hehehheehhe 13 Jan 2012 18:25 Angel I really dont think she would. Dizzy would defo, when I use to walk Dizzy of a night he would not walk if anyone walked behind us. He would keep looking behind him and if anyone was there he would stop walking and bark at them, and I would have to let them walk infront. One evening my OH decided to creep about the house and hide, Dizzy went mad when he thought someone was in the house, Angel just barked I think because Dizz was, but my OH did say he was scared of them. 13 Jan 2012 17:51 I think Maddy would hide behind me or probably lie down and show her tummy as she is just so submissive, and really don´t know what Millie would do. Hope I never have to find out! 12 Jan 2012 20:24 i honestly vena think if i was being threatened jax would go for who ever. 12 Jan 2012 20:18 Kyra would go to ´old nick heeeeeeeee but Heiko is very wary of strangers, lm just not sure how far hed go if need be. |
