Way to go , fishabductor.....stay vigilant. Glad to hear the dogs did their jobs. Hope you have a specal treat for them tonight. Keep'em lean and mean. Take care of them and they'll take care of you. Thanks for the heads up. Where are you in Baja?

Are you so sure?

Once again, Dennis, you're a man after my own heart.

DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING or JUST LIVE IN FEAR....

Well said, Iflyfish. My sentiments exactly......

Dogs are the best first line of defense. I also suggest keeping motion sensor activated lights around where the dogs sleep. They will set them off every time anything moves near the property and the combination of the dogs and lights coming on will take care of most problems before they ever happen.

We just got Kobe, Beba's older brother and I really like the 1-2 punch this pair of red/black dobermans are packing. Even the neighborhood dogs out here on the beach are taking the long way around our property now...

I agree that vicious dogs are not only a hazard but not necessary. Smart dogs know when and with whom to turn it on or off. My dogs will not attack another dog unless provoked first. But I don't want anybody to think they can just come up to the property and pet them, much less feed them. That is just a reality of living out here in the boondocks. Maybe if I lived in a development with a lot of homes nearby a poodle would make more sense.

Well, maybe not...

I agree with that DianaT, have had a number of dogs and been around a few ... some were the kind that were brought up to "kill" .... and others to protect their masters..

Not sure in a dog fight who will win, and don't want to fight them to find out.. as a ring fight would tend to favor one who has been trained for that kind of fight..

Will only say we had a Border Collie/MacNab mix that was not aggressive at all, but when it came to a fight.. he went for the throat.. was extremely protective

The wife was walking with the kid when in was about 18 months.. in stroller out in the country.. where we lived... three stray dogs came up and tried to attack.. Trouble fought all three... and hurt one really serverely hurt one, ripped the throat, and must have broken the leg of the other as it had to limp away.. the third just took off... and was never seen again..

Another time.. he caused a Hereford from the next doors neighbors range out through a break in the barb wire fence,.. and had wandered onto our place.. Trouble tried to herd it back.. but scared the silly animal so much.. that it jumped into our pool... yeah, cleaning up the pool was a treat... the cow was able to walk out using the stairs.. .. and found its way back to where it was supposed to by, a ranch that two sister ran cattle on which we butted up to..

But, he was not a "killer" but it was in him to fight to the death in protecting his family... he was very loyal, and obident ... would stay in the back of my pickup until I called him.. period.. and he could clear the tailgate on a 3/4 ton Doge i used for wood cutting.. with out touching

Have seen both ways of working with dogs..

There are two "killer" dogs I met up in Rosarito.. I asked the owner if he minded if I talked to them.. he said sure if you think your up to it... both I found were loyal and protective and could be quite vicious if someone came onto the property and "they" the dogs did not like them.. sensed "fear"..

Me, I was no threat at all and they knew it ..... only broke my skin when chewing on me twice.. and that was just play.. but when you are a pit bull or a rottweller .. don't think they know their own strength... and how many big teeth they have.. good boys ... and I give them treats.. both owners have been astouded they way the dogs react to me.. they even no the sound of my cars.. it been since July 9th since I was up.. and the last time I saw Bob and Oliver.. and looking forward to seeing them again.. really good boys.. no one else will get close to them.. they are ket on heavy chains.. and left outside in the elements.. I just use an office chair with rollers.. and visit each guy while waiting to get my car fixed ..

Like all animals.. even goats.. as I have found they are just like dogs.. very friendly and very smart animals.. as long as they don't spit.. but, you can say that about camels too..

Some nice looking dogs.. BG use signal flares when approaching.. as I'm sure you would not "hear" anything at all.. if your blasting... you system

mum's the word...

Are you kiddin', Wiley? She hasn't said a word for six hours. Did you just wake up from your nap?

Oh NO.. you really know me...

I don't even want to go back and read what I wrote.. in my dazed condition.. need to take something..

good one..

Maybe BG is right and she deleted a post. I've been thinking about suggesting, Wiley, that you quote at least part of the post to which you are replying, because many times, I can't tell, and your post does not make sense to me. (And now we have another reason.)

I would tell you but then I would have to let my dogs bite you...

Nice job- and a good lucky break for all of you. I do think when children are involved you are best off choosing a breed/animal that has the temperament and behavior you want from them 95% of the time- instead of the other way around. Some guard dogs are great with kids and others can be sketchy at best. Treat a guard dog like you would a loaded gun around with kids in the house. JMHO

Wassamatta Goat, have the big, mean doggys been chasing you around the landfill?

JMHO when guard dogs get out, they often cause problems in neighborhood. you people training dogs to be mean should watch out that you don't hurt neighbors pets and children. your neighbors should be warned that you keep dangerous animals, and you should not be surprised if your neighbors shoot and ask Qs later. personally, i am glad that i don't have neighbors like you that are training dogs to attack people.

I am sure the reverse is true as well!

I can so just picture that scenario

I am one too! When I post corrections they are meant to be constructive. Also, several posters (not you, BG) are unreadable because of their poor grammar and punctuation, lack of attributing quotes, run-on sentences, unnecessary repetition and disorganized thoughts.

Of course, nobody wants to be lectured or corrected. It is resented, and we are probably out of line in our suggestions. While trying to be helpful, we are actually intruding. They either lack the ability to learn, or more likely, they lack the will.

So, in the future I will not offer any more lessons, but know that I will probably skip over the "offender's" posts and not read them. It is too difficult and time consuming. Too bad, because these people have ideas to give but the packaging of those gifts are made of tangled wire and duct tape.

No problem - I am used to being corrected. Product of being raised by a stern German father, a strong willed, outspoken mom and two older sisters...



Goat - please tell me where I said that I am training my dogs to be mean??? I am training my dogs not to take food from or become overly friendly with anyone but us.

If you are with me the dogs will come up, sit and even love to be petted. But they understand that is not standard behavior for just anybody who decides to wander onto the property at 1:00AM. They will probably not be smiling but they do not just go for your neck because you walk by the property. They will take an aggressive stance, bark and make sure you get the message.

Or did you train your dogs to open the gate for strangers in the middle of the night? My guess is that if you have a dog you have never done much, if any training which is why this is over your head.

Do some reading on Dobermans - they are low on the list of dogs reported for bites/attacks. They know when and where to show the teeth and especially if trained. You are actually much more likely to be bitten by one of these breeds:

Dachshunds
Chihuahuas
Jack Russell Terriers
Australian Cattle Dogs
American c-cker Spaniels

Source...

There is so much misinformation out there about dog breeds and behavior but for now I guess I will let that work in my favor. Especially if it keeps us from having an unwanted visitor at 1:00AM...



Edited for grammar before you hounds catch me...

DUCT TAPE! You had to mention duct tape...arghh..

Just 4-5 days ago, my drivers' side mirror was destroyed by a madman driving a huge motorhome who got too far over in the roadway. Those damn motorhomes are a menace and should be....wait, I'm driving one, too...er, it was an unavoidable accident,I am sure...

I have thought a lot about dogs as protection. Mine is a big dog, around 100#. Paco is good protection for me, particularly in Mexico, because of his size and the fear factor that prevails there.

When he put me through obedience training, I didn't have a house in Mexico yet. (He is now seven). My objectives were: socializing with other dogs and people. Little did I know that he was doing too good of a job learning. He loves all people and all dogs.

He is never initially aggressive, although he has fought back when attacked. Oh, the first time he didn't know what was happening. He yipped and cried and I broke them up. He was saying "Ow! Oh my God, what is happening? I don't know about this." The second time and the few times afterward, he kicked a**. Mexican street dogs scatter and cower when the see him coming. All Paco wants is to play with them.

With people, he is a licker and a tail wagger. If someone were intent on invading my yard he would probably give himself away. Although, if it were at night he would bark and probably back the intruder off. If the intruder tried to enter the house, I am pretty sure Paco would aggressively protect me by attacking him. I believe those moves would be instinctual. However, he has never been tested.

That is also my threshold. I am pretty much a Pacifist. I will try to avoid conflict, if possible. If someone attacks me or invades my home, I will fight until one of us is dead or unconscious. I have done it twice in my adult lifetime (not killed anyone, but rendered them totally incapacitated). You must do something; whatever you have to fight with; whatever it takes. Even if it is no match with the weaponry of the aggressor, you have to fight. Know this about yourself and you have a chance, even if it is a slim one.

Paco has never been trained as a guard dog. I really don't want a mean dog or the liability that carries with it. For sure, he would eat a Big Mac thrown into the yard. I watch him closely though and am usually aware of anyone in his proximity.

All things considered, I have the exact dog I have always wanted.

Have you seen the labradoodle? A cross between a labrador and a poodle???

Paco's a CUTEY, Toneart!

Yes, BG. You posted it here not long ago, and I said I preferred it to some of the other breeds pictured there. But personally, I'd go for 100% labrador.

None taken.. really like the ability to just ramble along about topics and what ever comes to my mind while typing.. no real goal set .. rather just thoughts as they pop into my head.. think it adds to the development of better way to solve a problem.. like talking about the heat.. and working that into a discussion about small nuclear reactors producing power for folks that live down in BCS which do not have CFE suppling power.. for AC..

As for grammar and spelling,.. if Mrs. Martin my 8th grade teacher could not get me straight about the importance of spelling.. was up to 125,000 per word before she gave up... don't think it will do any good at this point in my life.. think most can get the over all drift of what I trying to get across... as I do with most others that post also.. Hell, with Skeeter.. he helped me post at all.. along with a few others that make mistakes.. oh, my

Think it has more to do with left brain, right brain thing.. as stated before..

And I do appreciate that you do pass them by ... as our back and forth would be an exercise in futility I'm afraid.. no offense intended either... some are synthesis personality others are not.. found that out in a meeting in La Jolla in around 1991.. when the Company I worked for and the Board of Directors of same asked a number of folks from Pepperdine to come down and observe and evaluate the entire Company's "thinking" or lack thereof.. which was at the time my position, lack thereof..

Was told I was a "synthesis personality" and many other have a very difficult time "understanding" what I say... as "synthesis personalities.. tend to want ALL things put on the table and discussed in a "free form" manner.. no structure.. let things fly around.. bounce a lot off the wall.. just go.. unstructured discussion ... you know ... not staying on topic..

They (the folks from Pepperdine) said if the Company really wanted change... they should listen to me.. as all the others were in lock step.. you know.. worrying about the small chit...

It was about a year later that I left this Company and found another position.. sadly it was the same again.. as my thinking does not fit into most of the "courts" which have chalk lines..

It is just me.. I don't find fault with those who don't understand.. what I may say or the concepts I may introduce.. as they are intended to create responses ... they are just words put together to cause a reaction .. but, sometimes just words can awaken a entire NEW thought... which is after all what we all need really bad about now.. new thoughts ... they can lead to solutions to problems.. and yes I know they can lead the other way... but that is evolution and it takes place daily.. here on this planet ...

I know I should run this through Word or something like that.. but, what the hell, it's not going to be published, it's not going to anyone inside a Company, or out side to a Company which would reflect negatively on same.. and I'm not actively working.. so let.. I ain't worrying about it...

Hope it adds too.. rather than takes away anything we on this board and others discuss

To the dismay of many...

I think Gunner may be related to Paco. He loves all - man or beast. But, treat him bad or threaten me and he lets his presence be known!
A well trained dog is a pleasure.

Nice link:

"Specialists in Shakespeare's bawdy language are fond of noting that "nunnery" was common Elizabethan slang for "brothel," and that therefore Hamlet's command is ironic and even more despairing than it seems. The pun would accord with the paradoxical nature of the prince's speech, but there is little evidence elsewhere in the scene that Hamlet intends a double entendre."

Me at a nunnery??? Oy vey is mire!

Wiley, I don't believe I ever suggested changes to your spelling, use of caps, etc., nor did I comment about your "rambling," as you put it. All's I suggested was that you quote from the post to which you are replying.

But I confess that your post struck a familiar note: I dated a guy for a while who was VERY smart (among other good qualities) but who I think had A.D.D. He would start talking about one thing and, just when I was waiting to hear what happens next, he would digress to a totally different subject. He might digress this way 5 times in 5-10 minutes. It drove me nuts, as, being a linear thinker, plus being trained to communicate in a certain logical manner, I just wanted him to "get to the point!" (The relationship didn't last long.)

For the record, I often find good points and thoughts amid your posts, but sometimes I am just too lazy to look for them. :}

Dennis: BUTT OUT!
