Glad to hear your dogs would protect you as needed.
I believe that most dogs will do the job when it comes down to protecting their family. Heck I have a friend with a rat terrier. He adored her cousin and the guy lived with my friend for awhile. But he was also a druggie and at one point attacked my friend. Her dog went flying at her cousin and if he hadn't brought his arm up the dog would have messed his face up pretty bad. He ran out the door bu the police found him later. As it was he needed many stitches on his arm.
I don't know about Nigel and Posey as they've never had the opportunity to do anything (although they will growl at people if I'm sleeping at a rest stop..........
actually they will all do that, makes it very hard to take a nap.........lo
l). But I know Keiko and Gunther would protect me as needed.
I think I've told this story before but what the heck I'll tell it again.........
..lol.
When I was living in an apt by myself I only had Keiko at the time. I had come home from the bar and was getting ready for bed. I realized I had my friends' car keys and ID with me (I had pockets, she did not). I had left the bar several hours before she had. I left them by the phone so I wouldn't forget to call her in the morning.
I went to bed. Around 2 or 3 in the morning I hear "Chris?" Immediately Keiko jumps off the bed and I hear her growling. It scared me a bit b/c I had never before heard her growl.........
...ever, and she has a very deep growl (she was about 1.5- 2 at the time). I turned on the light and saw my friend in the doorway. I looked at Keiko and every single hair was standing up on her back. Of course as soon as she saw who it was she went running over there to say hello.........
....lol. (My friend had a key to my apt which is how she let herself in)
Both she and Gunther once "protected" me from a skateboarder too........lol
. It was only a percieved threat but they didn't know that. A guy was skateboarding down the sidewalk when we lived in Ca. If I remember correctly, skateboards weren't allowed on the sidewalk. I was sitting on a bench watching the surfers and Keiko and Gunther were by my feet. I heard a couple of cops yell at the skateboarder and he turned to look at them (but still moving on his board). He was heading straight for me, and when he got w/i about 15 ft Keiko and Gunther both jumped up and started barking at him.
