Yesterday my sister and I decided to put on this mask I had and scare my dogs. I can tell you know that I'm sober and thinking straight that this was a bad idea. Very bad idea.
My little Yorkie-poo, he so cute btw, ran when I came in the door, but once he got over the initial shock he came after me. I couldn't turn my back on him or he would try to bite me I had to look at him face to face or would charge at me.
It took me forever to get the mask off and there was a second in there where I was blind from taking it off. Even after I got the mask off he still try to get me. I had to finally yell at him with the mask off before he claimed down.
The whole time he's time he's trying to get me my sister is encouraging him too.
Being drunk and thinking this turned out so well we decided to scare my big dogs. A chow-chow, a aussie, and a siberian husky, but we decided to do it though the screen door. It was my sister's turn.
The husky got the most serious look on her face and walked to the door and started to growl she wasn't scared at all then my aussie came to the door, but a completely different reaction, she wagged her tail and wanted to play. When my chow made it to the dog and started to growl that started my ausse to growling then all hell broke loose and they tried to come though the door my sister took off running and that made it worst.
Whey wouldn't quit trying to come in. I had to finally let them and they ran though the house looking for the "threat." I told my sister to put the mask back on and run outside, but she wouldn't. I had to finally start grabbing each one and claiming them down.
Putting the mask on was a bad idea, but it's nice to know I have dogs what will come to my rescue.
If you want home security get some dogs.

    Good to know about the Siberian Husky.

    Any post that starts with, "I can tell you know (sic) that I'm sober and thinking straight that this was a bad idea. Very bad idea.",is bound to be entertaining. But I also got some good, useful information about my dog's potential, as well.

    I sometimes sneak up on my Aussies just to get their reaction. I don't get close and I don't make a loud noise, just sneak around the house on them. They go off! I have to talk to them to calm them down, even when they see it's me!
    They have put people back in their car when we aren't here. Same people come back another time and the dogs go out wagging their tails. Go figure.

    jimdeere, do your Aussies tolerate other dogs? Mine hates dogs with a purple passion. First dog I ever had who just wouldn't tolerate another dog anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances.

    My Australian Cattle dog, though still just a pup, will growl when strangers walk up into the yard or house.

    Dogs are usually a great deterrent to crime...

    Sometimes it's the smallest dogs that are the most vicious.

    IMO the perfect combination is a little dog and a big dog. A watch dog and a guard dog. Sometimes guard dogs will not pick up the stuff that a little yippie chiuawua (sp) will. The little watch dog will alert the big guard dog and it can make for the perfect home security system, just add food and water.

    And at least 3 walks a week.

    That's quite possibly the cutest Chihuahua I've ever seen. And usually I think they're butt-ugly.

    Those min pins make meth-heads look mellow.

    My brother had one and used it to practice kicking extra points...

    My short haired Siberian alligator, Foo Foo, protects us pretty well too. He's great at rolling over and fetching a stick from the water. Can't seem to house break him though.

    Couldn't you just get a medium-sized dog and save money?

    You can try to camouflage or sugarcoat it any way you like, but she's a shepherd, a sheep dog.

    If you ever let her out unsupervised, you'll probably find her dancing with sheep.

    James, what few times there's been other dogs come here, they didn't like it, but they didn't try to fight. They are very jelous of each other, though. You have to pet one with one hand and the other with the other hand.

    A farm couple that I know of, found that they could not let their Border collie out unsupervised. Because when they did, the dog would herd all the cows into a corner of the fenced pasture and not let them graze.

    I raised Bull Mastiffs for 25 years. Always had one adult and for the last 10 years or so two. Quite reassuring having a 145# brindle male and his 120# mate covering his back greet us at the front door at night. My wife gets home from work around 1:00 AM and in years past I traveled for work plus was gone to Sturgis, Daytona, & Bristol every year. She never was afraid.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    cgr, it would be nice if you invited some of your GB pals the next time you have a party! Naturally at my age I would be there just to be a stabling influence!
