Good Dog -

84Bravo1
Had a Work Buddy stop by this evening to look at some Jeep mags and tires I have for sale. He called ahead, so I knew when he would be showing up. Heard him in the driveway.

Let Buddy out on his trolley run, with me close behind. He shot right out. Stiff legged, low rumbling growl, hackles raised, teeth showing.

My friend, who owns two Pit Bulls, froze. (Outside of trolley range by 5-10') I was close behind Buddy. Told him "He's okay, he's okay." Instantly chilled out. Said "Sit," complied. Said "Shake," done. Turned in to Puppy mode. Love me, pet me. Leaping around like a maniac. My Bud said, "That is one Great guard dog."


Yep. One great dog. Instantly protective when needed, instantly backs down when given the command. One great dog.

He is a total Love muffin with me. Super gentle, and loving. Very intelligent. Best dog I have ever had. [:D]

    Had a buddy come over to my house today while I was gone, (Plumber by trade.) Was going to change our my Water Heater for me. Ran into a problem, did not know where my Breaker box was. Although I had killed the Power to the water heater, (left him a note.) He did not feel comfortable cutting a galvanized line that led to a PVC line. Said if it broke, no way to cut the water off (behind the shut off valve.) He did not want to flood my place for me. No worries.

    He just pulled into my back driveway to get some stuff from my Neighbor/Buddy's house. Stopped, we talked. I had left the back door open for him to come in. My Pit was Super friendly to him yesterday on the back deck (after) I had told my dog. ("He's okay.")

    Buddy was telling me, "When I came in your back door, and the whole time I was inside, your dog was growling at me like an angry Lion. Scared the crap out of me."

    He was in his very large cage/crate that is partially covered by a blanket to keep it Den like. I had previously told my Buddy, that my dog would be enclosed when he came in.


    Good Dog. [:D]

    My wife thinks our Bernese mountain dog Bentley is a wuss and will run from any threat.

    I disagree. I play fairly rough with him. Pushing him around, slapping him, holding him by the fur on his neck or throat as he's trying to bite me. ( Play biting. Not breaking the skin but damn near sometimes.

    He will go from trying to tear me a new one to sucking up, getting his belly rubbed in about a second flat when told " easy".

    He is more responsive to guard duty type commands then any dog I've had. He has been in front of me clearing the new house when there was an odd noise at 2am. Head held high, ears up, very alert posture. I have no doubt had we found anything that night he would have attacked it.

    I took a dominent assertive stance and he followed suit. I think his reaction would depend on mine or my wife's.

    Bentley like your buddy I believe has been a once in a lifetime 4 legged child.

    I've thought about getting a buddy of mine that Bentley doesn't know very well to test him. I just don't want to put Bentley through any trauma that might make him unsure or skiddish. Way I see it even if he isn't a good attack dog he at least is a good early worning system and his bark is enough to scare off your average thug and make anyone hesitate long enough for my wife or I to grab a pistol off the nightstand and defend ourselves.

    What is the most threatening to me, is the no barking at all.

    Just a fixed stare and a low rumbling growl. Like a freaking Lion or something. I scares the poop out of me, and he likes me.

    He holds himself like an athlete. (All muscle.) One back leg forward, one back leg far back - like an ASPCA Breed calender.

    Once told by me, "He's Okay." He is good to go. Before that, you don't want to be in range.

    Have I mentioned, best dog ever?

    We are on the back deck now. He is sprawled out on the picnic table. His perch, getting Sun.
