I don't underestimate little dogs. One time little bast**d followed behind me and tried to nip the back of my heel.my friend is a veterinarian he says people make pittbulls dangerous... he has said any dog can be made dangerous
I've had lots of close calls with big mean dogs that could've made hamburger out of me in an instant however I always got my bluff in on them somehow. A clipboard and fiberglass tape are pretty cold comfort when there is a chow the size of a black bear coming straight for you.Appraisers go to houses that have dogs. It is risky untl the owners have control and you don't come across as a threat.
BUT there are dogs that are dangerous because they have been abused.
My dog never sniff.So dogs are pack animals My sons dachshund was very protective BUT I was the Pack Leader . So when I had any new friends come over I warned then not to try and pet Oscar until I got him under control and let the dog sniff them . Once the sniffed them he would just roll over and everything was ok...If they had children oscar would lick them like crazy and play.
No matter how well trained, a dog has an in-bred tendency. A bird dog will hunt birds. A coon dog will tree coons. Pit bull dogs were bred as attack animals. Herding animals will often bite you on the heels, but a bulldog attacks the head and front. Rottweilers were trained as bear dogs. So, no matter what, they still have that nature and something can trigger them, often it is flight. An antelope baby that does not flee will not be attacked by young cheetahs. They do not know how to respond to one that stands still.Stupid, or drug, owners make bad dogs
Exactly, occupants safety. "Safe, Sound, Sanitary".I think the VA requirement is to ensure the occupants' safety, not the burglars'....![]()
