That sounds made up. You said you were chased not mauled. I suspect you decided that your life was in danger just now.

Chased, attacked, come home bloody. Excuse me for not giving you enough detail to figure out why it was him or me. I think you just like to attack other posters......period
 
I agree, if the armed intruder is a ninja burglar. However, my dogs have pretty good hearing . . . if anyone puts one step on the deck or tries to jimmy a window, thee dogs are going to give me plenty of warning. I am not a member of a secret spy organization or some organized crime family, so I seriously doubt the armed intruder coming to my home is gonna be all stealthy like a ninja. Of course, if I wake up dead one day I will know my theory is wrong.

Our dog's hearing is so acute that he barks if a neighbor four doors up the street closes a car door! :mrgreen: Needless to say, when he barks at night, and won't stop, we pay attention!

Happy Sunday, Polgara.:2wave:

Our dog never barks, and believes that all people and animals are her friends. Our first indication of a night burglar will be when she starts wagging her tail to greet him. That's why we have an alarm.:mrgreen:

Yeah, me too . . . but alas . . . I am still scared. Bwahhhhhaaaaaa haaahaahahahh. Not really, but if it makes most folks feel good . . . I too am scared of the ninja warrior invading my house with a weapon. I feel a real fear for my dogs . . . because you know they are gonna get assassinated by the ninja burglar. I love them so.

Last week we were saved from a deer and a couple of racoons who dared to step foot on his property. He's quite proud of himself! Of course they paid no attntion to him, but that's beside the point...he did alert us! :mrgreen:
 
I killed a doberman with my bare hands when I was 13, our new neighbor thought it would be funny to have it chase us.
I call total BS on that. What was it a puppy? Or were you the baddest 13 year old ever?
 
The only real dependable thing dogs are good for is to alert. Short of your dog being trained, its just an alarm. It may or may not attack an intruder.
I have seen the littlest dogs latch on and not let go and some big dogs bark and growl until someone stomps on the ground in front of them and they run.
You wish to protect your home? Its a DIY thing, not your dogs responsibility.

I was 6' 1 and about 190 but I was scared of this dog, scared of dying, it is amazing what the outcome can be if you think you are going to die

6'1 at 13? Did you have a blue ox too?
 
It depends on who else is known to be in the house. If it is only myself...I barricade myself and call the police...turn the light off and put a bright ass flashlight on the door (flashlight somewhere other than on myself) and kill anything that does not heed the warning not to come through the door.

If my family is in the house and not in my room...I push and clear to I secure all parties I can and hopefully deal with the intruder in the process.



I don't quit and admit "I already lost" though.

I had to bring my birth certificate to every football game the following year as I was 6'3" and 210. I eventually saw 6'5" but I think old age has taken me back to 6'4".
