Greybeard's thread got me to thinking about dog in general. I have a 13 year old Australian Sheppard that everyone in the community hates or is afraid of. When people come to the door (myself included!) she makes a fair bit of noise. The noise lasts longer when it's someone she doesn't know. Probably a minute or two. Most people are quite afraid of her. But the only person she ever bit was my wife's cousin. The dog was in the box of my truck, pitching a bit of a fit when he came walking up. He stuck his hand out to her in the box of the truck and she bit him. I told him that what he did was a foolish thing to do, as she was guarding her property. I'm not a believer in having dogs that bite, but I figure if they are doing their job then all bets are off. This is a dog that after they people come in the house and she finishes pitching her fit she lays down on their feet and goes to sleep.
Really, I like a dog that is a bit protective, but maybe that's just me. Thoughts?
