Would your dog protect you?

[wolfie]

Do you think your dog would protect you if someone came into your home, or came up to you?

I'd like to think that Daphne would. If 2 people in our home mock fight then Daphne will get upset and bark.

Honey bristles a little bit, especially when it is an unknown male, but the rest of them would lick an intruder to death! LOL!!!!

Had a guy from the cable company in my house this morning to install a piece of equipment and all 4 of them stood at the gate like he was supposed to come over and pet them! LOL!!

Aww, and did he pet them?

I don't encourage any growling or barking if someone comes over while I am around --- unfortunatly Visa is a bit shy, so she likes to growl and bark at strangers that come onto the property. I put her in a downstay and she stops right away. She is improving so much and becoming alot more social. The only time I want her to growl and bark is if nobody is home with her or if I'm in trouble. And if I was in trouble (say, someone was attacking me) she would definatly protect me.

Yes. I'm sure. My father was once playing around with me, you know, like pushing me around, and since it was an offleash dog park, my dogs were just trailing behind, and when Deiz saw, he came running up and started trying to bite my fathers arm!

I don't think Maggy would. When my hubby and I are rough housing, I'll cry for Maggy to help me and she'll just go and lick my husband.

Even if she did try, who would be afraid of a little 10 lb. dog? I didn't get her for protection.

[PJ's Mom]

When my kids beat up on me (playing, of course) Peej will bite me, not them and Bailey will wag and grab the closest toy.

[pitc9]

100% YES Buddy would!! Sierra... eh... Maybe
Buddy has already proven himself to me!!

[pnance]

I'm fairly sure Savannah and Nikka would, Bear would probably beg for food and Hunter would run and hide.......

[Pawsitive Thinking]

My Tobey would if he thought I was under threat. May be little but he's feisty!

[lv4dogs]

None of my dogs would protect me if someone just came into my home or what not but if there was actual danger involved then they may. Raustyk & Kaige do bark when someone comes to the door. I like it like that. Sure I want them to be friendly but I also want some protection too. I don't let them bark at neighbors or the like, but when someones on my property, sure.

Nanook, no way, he's the friendlist thing in earth. lol

Raustyk, She probably would, but I don't know for sure. She sure is protective but I was in an abusive relationship a few years ago and she never did a thing. I don't know if it was because he was her master too or what?
I do know that Raustyk will not let anyone in my house if I am not there unless she knows them really well (my mom, a couple friends, thats about it). My brother who she knows but not REAL well couldn't get into my house one day when I wasnt' there.

Kaige, I think he would. He's still a pup but I think if he had to he would.

[luvofallhorses]

Of course they would!

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Blaze would protect me with his life, and he has before! He may be small, but he thinks he's big and furocious! (sp?) I just love my boy!!!

[Jessika]

I'm not sure.. Charlie is a scaredy cat and Jamie is just WAY too friendly. I've never been in that situation to know!!

When someone new comes over, Jamie literally attacks them (but with kisses hehe) and Charlie will bark and run away to his "safe spot". HOWEVER while Jamie and I were out of town and my fiancée was at work and couldn't make it home on his lunch break to let Charlie outside like he normally does, he called his friend to stop by and let him out. Well apparently Charlie BIT HIM!! Not hard, and not out of aggression (he said it didn't even hurt or bother him at all), but out of fear. But then I think, Charlie was home alone all by himself for almost 12 hours, dad was gone, Jamie was gone, and I was gone. He has NEVER been by himself before for that long, and then some stranger who he has NEVER met or seen before in his life just comes into our house, the poor guy probably freaked out!! Because when I'm around he NEVER acts like that. What do you think??

So I think maybe, MAYBE if I Were in a situation where someone broke in or was trying to rob or attack me and Charlie sensed my fear, he MIGHT try to protect me. But until I am in a situation like that I really don't know.

[senorita02]

Well i know for sure Face would protect me 100% he is very protective sometimes overprotecive, if i get a friendly spank from my boyfriend he goes ballistic, so we are very careful not to man handle each other in front of him LOL
we also cant have company over unless he is familiar with everyone.
Senorita on the other hand i think she is all bark and no bite, but i'd sure hate to be the intruder to find out.

She is getting more protective as she gets older at 3 now, she will bark ferociuosly at people when they approach the fence, but most the time she ends up wiggling her butt and being friendly. ( but again that is usually only if she knows them)

Also there is no hat wearing or sunglasses in our house, the furkids do not like those two items!
