Are your dogs vicious or nice?

[RipplingWaves55]

Screech is vicious to everyone except us.
Lady is kind of vicious but she is darling and really my favorite dog...
Dotty is.... part coyote. she's vicious to everyone except us. She's hyper to us and not fixed yet.
Jubilee was kind of vicious and my favorite dog and still is .. she was our true guardian. (I know I shouldn't have favorites but I will not be taking any insults from anyone... okay, it's not against the rules in my book but I'll just ignore you...) lol

Are your dogs vicious or nice?

Aggression toward people:
Beenie is a sweetheart and would go home with anyone.

Frankie plays 'the part'.
He barks and growls at everyone but when introduced to the stranger he turns into butter.

Aggression toward other dogs is another story:
Beenie makes friends but Frankie would get himself in trouble.

Your dogs are probably all a bit aggressive because of Screech.
They are following his lead. I hope they never hurt anyone.

A vicious Pom and ShihTzu???
Only when attacking their food!!

Blue is not vicous to people or dogs. He is b ig so when he pulls, even just a little because he wants to meet someone it looks worse then it is. He loves being pet and meeting new friends. Sometimes people go out of their way to avoid us but it's ok because they are usually the people that we don't want to be around anyways.

Both of my dogs are nice. Zoee is a little tempermental when she sees other dogs. But once she meets them she is okay.
Taggart will sit at anyone's feet and just melt into them for some loving.

Since your probally will just ignore this, I will say it anyway. It sounds like your dogs need to go to some classes. This is not a behavior I would be proud of, and if it was my dogs they would be restricted and socilized like crazy.

My dogs are all nice, if they showed any aggression or fear at all then I would be working and training with them on that subject instead of all the other training I do.

Don't know if you're reading this, since I read your good-bye in General. But if you are reading, maybe you can answer this simple question.
Obviously you knew what you were in for when you started this thread, so why did you even bother to start it?

I am a little late on this post but why would someone need "guard" dogs? I guess I am spoiled because I live in an area where I do not have to live in fear. What are the dogs guarding?

This is why I love my Labrador. She will bark and bark and bark but once you get in the door she will wag her tail and bring you a toy. I doubt she would even bite a stranger/burgler. (I hope no burglars are reading this)

I read you were leaving, and for some reason some people feel sorry about it? That I don't really understand, but I hope for your dog's sake you do more for them than "give them noodles and pizza". Looking at your posts, you seem to not really care about how you portray your dogs and yourself. Good luck to the dogs...

Your comment about Dorothy was extremely inappropriate by the way. Someone lost their grandmother to vicious dogs...that's not a freaking joke and something to make fun of. That was a horrid thing to say when someone is trying to explain why having vicious dogs and advertising them as vicious dogs is not a good idea. There are others on the forum dealing with lifelong injuries and physical problems from being attacked so saying "my dogs are vicious" and being proud of it doesn't really go over well here.

RW55 is hard to understand sometimes. I don't think she (he?) really intended the word 'vicious' to be taken literally in this case.

[finn's mom]

vicious - dangerously aggressive : savage <a vicious dog> b: marked by violence or ferocity : fierce <a vicious fight>

No, my dogs aren't vicious.

Anyone who brags or advertises about a truly vicious animal, and isn't searching for ways to alter said animals' behavior, is a huge part of the problem with society and it's perspective and treatment of animals.
