Reminds me of the time I saw a sign on a fence in TX. "You better run a 8.9 100 because my bull does it in 9 flat".

In general I don't think breeds like pit bulls should be allowed. Just too dangerous. But an enclosed and secured animal? If you go there it's on you not the owner.Â
My dog wouldn't, and probably couldn't, kill a kitten. He'll bark at a stranger though and that's all you really need. Gives you a moment to get up and pick up the shotgun.

Yup. Early warning device.

Most protection breeds are also dogs of prey. They see something running their 1st instinct is to chase it down, People, Other Dogs, Animals, Bikes , Hell even cars.
If or once they catch it they will normally bite or attack. Sometimes not intending to actually kill , but to subdue.
My GSD has got a Cat and a Chipmunk , She just put her big Paw down on top of both of them until i yelled Off .
She was looking at me like i caught the damn thing what do i do now.
Other Dogs not disciplined to release will and can inflict a lot of damage including Death.
3 big dogs at once together just feed off the fury of each other.
Horrible way to Die.

My daughter's dog is a predator. If it runs, she chases it. It's a game to her. I've seen her jump out of 3' tall grass and grab a quail out of the air. She's extremely fast. Not greyhound fast but fast nonetheless. She's a Siberian husk and German Shepard mix. Still a pup, will be a year old next month. Hopefully she'll mellow out soon.

Reminds me of the time we were cutting through a yard as kids, and a German Shepherd attacked me and my brother. Since I was faster than my brother, the Shepherd got him first and bit him on the ass. Fortunately he had a wallet in his back pocket and the German Shepherd left teeth marks on his wallet and not on his butt.

I have two German Shepherds and the wife has a Silky Terrier, which is basically a Yorkie with a silky coat.

No doubt that was a female dog...
