I try to find a dog that doesn't know how badass they look...
that way even if they never get the guarding personality they still look like they are going to get you...but won't actually do anything...
And a lot of dogs are great with their people, and terrible with strangers...
Our last large dog was like that...except he really was bad ass and would eat you if he didn't know you...
Rocky is just glad to see someone really...lol.
When I got him the lady said he was 6 months old, but I didn't believe her because he was so big then...but as soon as we took him to the vet he confirmed that Rocky was indeed only 6 months old...He's 2 now and ginormous, but just a big baby full of fluff...he has teeth, but unless you are made of rawhide I don't think he would waste his energy chasing someone down..
Unless you are wearing a work uniform of some sort...
Power/Cable guy/water guy...
He doesn't trust a man in uniform...lol.
he actually gets a little hateful with my husband if he wears his hat and vest inside...So that is a little strange...but at least I know that nobody will break into our house to steal our things while wearing utility clothes.
Nah...nobody will break in because of the way Rocky looks...and this is why I like big menacing dogs...haven't ever had a dog act menacing though...at least not while I am there...
Our last large dog would launch himself at the door snapping his jaws anytime anyone knocked...I dont' know what would have happened if that person preceded to come in...because nobody ever did...Hell they didn't even knock twice..lol.
We have a cheap door, who knows how long it will hold, better run back to your car...lol.
