5 am visitor - Proud of my dog!

[Foxy90GT]

that's awesome! i haven't had anything like this happen to me yet at the house, i wonder how my dogs would react.

Extra treats for the pup today?

Without a doubt.

...after owning her I will never have any dog but heeler or heeler mix. sounds mean as hell when someone is anywhere near the door or she hears something out of place.

Jake is my fourth heeler/heeler mix - I'm right there with ya. Jake can sound mean as hell and I believe he's willing to back it up too.

We lost our "Blu" this past summer. She was the best!

Man I'm sorry. We've lost a couple and it is rough.

...he also "covers" momma (sits/lays on her) whenever I start cussing! LOL

Mine is the same way.

In my house if I say, " I'm gona get your mama" or make any playful, but threatening moves toward my wife I'm met with a 120lb lab that goes straight for the throat.

Yep. I can play-attack my wife or even reach for my daughter and I have a mouth clamped on my wrist. He doesn't bite hard but he latches down and squeezes hard. Its kinda like sure I'm playing... but dont forget I can break your wrist anytime I feel like it. Last summer I spanked our daughter and when I turned around I discovered he'd snuck up behind me and was within inches "just in case" things got out of hand.

when I give my wife a back massage and she's moaning and shit, Bandit runs in and tries to cover her and protect her. it's fucking hysterical

and he's very tuned in to the words "fuck" and "god damnit" because those are my go-to phrases when I get hot under the collar

he's such a little peace-maker, and I just cherish every moment with him

What an awesome story!

[Forever_frost]

My chow goes and lays by my 15 month old son while my cocker spaniel gets between me and the door growling when things go bad. My wife is on her own

I have a Queensland Heeler mix, great guard dog. When he's really pissed, the hair between his shoulders stands in a mohawk.

In my house if I say, " I'm gona get your mama" or make any playful, but threatening moves toward my wife I'm met with a 120lb lab that goes straight for the throat. He normally backs me into a corner and it takes everything I have to get him off me. If someone broke into my house and I was the only one home he probably wouldn't even lift his head, but if my wife is around that dog is constantly on WWIII patrol. He will try to brake down the front door to get at a door to door salesman.

your wife is alpha

[FreightTrain]

your wife is alpha

LMAO


I think it has more to do with her babying the shit out of that dog.

[talisman]

Several awesome stories in here guys. I ask my border collie "Who is that?" and she lets out a 30 second long low growl while looking out the window, head on a swivel.

lol, I can be in the middle of the dog park where Bandit has been a million times and say "who's that?" "who is it?" and he'll go ape shit

He wouldn't hurt a fly, but if I feel the need to protect the contents of the household, I'll leave him at the house

[bigmuskie]

Glad that you and the family are ok. Blue Heelers are great dogs. My brother had one that was very obedient and loved riding in the bed of pick-ups.

[OreoStang]

That's one badass dog for sure. U are one lucky guy

My dog kira is the same way she always responds to "Get that cat" or "What was that" lol "Do you want a snack" is her favorite though. The pointy ears really allow them to express them selve, I can ask her "Did you do this" and she will look away and flatten out her ears

[Sgt Beavis]

Just one more reason we call our Dogs, "Man's best friend".


Meanwhile Cats continue their plot to rule the internet...
