Can Buddy be Racist & Sexist???? UPDATE #16

When I was stuffing both massive beasts into my car Buddy started grawling (he cannot sit in a car 90% of the time, so he was laying on the seat with his head down grawling)...

I looked over & there was 2 men (they just happened to be black men). They wanted to see the dogs as they were both HUGE & they had never seen a dog like Buddy before & wanted to know what on earth he was. I told them & they had never heard of him. I said its not a popular breed here in canada or the usa yet. I'm not sure if they are even seen as a pure breed here either, but they are in other countries.

He asked if it was part of the pitty family & I said no & he said good as people around here only have mean ones... I said the breed is from the mastiff family (thats all I know of the breed, & I hope I was right)... He said Buddy is a lovely dog, but too big for him lol He asked if I was a breeder or something because he would love to get a healthy Bull Terrier. I told him I only rescue dogs from the shelter, & they are usually sick for life (I pitty them the most as too many people turn them down because of a few extra vet visits a year & daily meds (its not a hard thing)... He thought it was wonderful & asked what was wrong with them. I told him & he said they are both very lucky dogs to have such loving owners.

All a while Buddy is grawling :rolleyes: He asked if Buddy was mean or something. I said we just got him yesterday & hes very attached to us & doesn't seem to like people coming too close to me who are talking!!

I think its people coming near me who talk to me.. he only barked at the lady on the hill & stopped when I asked him to.. he ignored me for the ladies at McDonalds & at the men I was talking to(only the one was talking, the other was kinda scared hehe).

I picked up Andrew with the 2 dogs last night. Buddy was fine. He tried to eat my face & neck when Andrew got into the car as he was too excited to see Andrew lol

When we got home, I had buddy as I know Andrew could never control him or even try to. We ran into the other man (the quiet one). & he wanted to ask a few questions & look at Buddy even more. The whole time Buddy was grawling at him.. then Buddy started barking, then it turned into a PISSED OFF bark & that jump forward bark, back up, jump forward bark, back up snarl grawl, bark bark bark bark, jump bark... We all just looked at Buddy & I asked him to stop. He wouldn;t stop, BUT he didn't try to over power me at all. His choaker was never tight, until I pulled him right to him hip to get him to stop. The guy said I don't think he likes me :( I said he usually a very friendly dog, but hes not sure of strangers coming near me.

I then left & thought to myself. He was at the shop & he LOVED everyone who was there, all the strangers he was fine with, he played with them, wanted loving...

But hes a totally different dog with me. Do you think its because I'm a small female? Chad is a large male (6' tall) & our friend is taller then me & larger. I'm the smallest & weakest in the house, maybe he sences that & thinks he needs to protect me?

I'm just totally baffled :confused: :confused: :confused:
