Would your dog protect you?

[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!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Cinder = not sure ...
She always *barks* her fool head off when anybody shows up -
but is *waggin* her tail a mile a minute! Her "aggressive behavior" is
mostly a demand for attention ... sorta like "Pet me NOW or I'll leap up an
lick your face off!"
Cinder does like to *guard* da Bus in parking lots -
she'll *bark* and "LOOK Nasty" if someone walks too close past the bus when
they're alone in a parking lot; but if the "burgler" walks up an "talks" to her -
she usually calms down and starts *waggin*!

Smokey = doubtful ...
He's long past his fear of people ( he USED to be terrified of MEN) but
now runs up with Cinder to demand attention;
he rarely *barks* at much - that's Cinder's job.

Bowser = highly doubtful ...
He only *barks* if he gets stepped on!
If he *nips* - it's 'cuz he thought the outsretched hand had a TREAT in it!

I once pulled over on the shoulder of an Interstate to jabber on the cell dinger ...
State Trooper Girl pulled up behind to see if we needed help and walked up on
the passenger side - UN-noticed by any of us!
I about had a heart attack when she *rapped* on the side window!
All I ever heard from the back seat was
< GASP! >
< Gasp! >
< gasp! >

So much for my ever vigilant "Guard" Dawgs!

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!

[jackie]

I voted yes because I know Tito would, he has bit my boyfriend when we were playing rough.

I am not too sure of Bo, but he does follow Tito's lead a lot. I hope I never need to find out, he has a really strong bite, and could do a lot of damage to someone if he wanted to.

Bella is a scared cat, and runs at the sound of loud voices.

[jennifert9]

Absolutely!!
Unfortunately he protects me from EVERYTHING, including things I do not need protection from!! Like Collin! He tries to bite him every night before he leaves when he comes into the bedroom to kiss me goodnight.

[slleipnir]

I'd say Josie would for sure. I've been walking at night and some drunks have come up to me and creeped me out, and Josie flipped out when he got too close and scared him off. I think she would protect me. We've done the "mock fighht" think and josie jumps up like she doesn't like it

I duno about Zeke..I've never needed protection to say so or not.

[poofy]

I know SammyJ can bark up a storm if someone comes close to the door, but outside, he doesnt bark at hardly any one that comes up, and some people hes overly friendly with..I dont know what he would do I someone came in and I didnt tell him to stop..umm prob run and hide..lol..lol.but I love him any way..lol..

[ramanth]

I voted, "I hope so."

Kia's growled at someone only once. In my old apartment, the sliding glass door faced the parking lot. A guy was coming up the walk to the main door and Kia's hairs went up and she growled, then barked. She's never done it since.

If Andy and I hug, she'll bark and try to seperate us. Sometimes when I wrestle with Andy, or my dad, or my sisters, she'll bark and whine, but she's never attacked them if they come at me.

Dad once hid behind some trees with a mask on. He ran out at my friend and I. We screamed. Kia tucked tail and ran away.

So again.. I hope so.

[Anita Cholaine]

Of course! She protects me so much when we are on the street with her, especialy if I am alone, and my dad isnt with me.....

[kimboe]

I don't think Camen will protect me in a way of attacking someone but he will bark once or twice to people he dosn't know yet, But he is still young and i think that most dogs who are protective are older pups.
So maybe he will when he get's older.
