My Mom and Dad have a 135pd Akita and a 140pd Great Pyrenees. The Akita is a lot like Angus in relation to other people and other dogs.
She's had folks cornered at the parents business before because one of the two stepped away. One time I caught her with a nose in someone's crotch. He was saying "bite my leg, bite my leg".
Bite my leg lmao!
Funny Story about the other pit we had.
The thing was a big baby....really, if it growled it was a very rare thing.
Anyways when we lived at the one place we did not have a fence so we would put the dogs on a line outside when they needed to go outside.
So one day I here someone knocking at the door, never heard the dog bark or anything.
So I go to the door and there is a state policeman. And I am wondering what the heck was going on because I know I had done nothing wrong.
Someone had stolen a car across the street and he was just asking people if they saw anything. I thought it was funny that the guy looked like he was sweating some because it was pretty cool out that day.
Anyways I happen to look down at the dog and as my eyes were coming back up I noticed there was a big muddy paw print on the officers crotch.
I guess my dog had put his foot up and nailed the officer in the crotch and that was why he was sweating haha.
Funny thing is all through my childhood till now we have only had one dog that I considered somewhat bad....one that it would not surprise me if it would try to bite someone as it was just a mean dog and uncontrollable....and it was a pom mix.
We have had Saint Bernards, Pitbulls, Boxers and a great dane and a mastiff that we kind of adopted (at different times) until we found a home for them....none of them were bad animals.
Heck the boxer we had at one time was the biggest coward of a dog I ever did see. If he was outside and the guy came to work on the power lines at the pole outside our yard that dog would run on the porch and litterally put his paws up on the screen door trying to get in.
If it stormed he would shake like a leaf and climb on you. If someone came in the yard he would cower on the porch will our pit would bark at them.
I never seen another dog so afraid of things as he was, we got him as a very young pup (bottle fed him) so it was not a matter of getting a dog that had been beaten.
In the end I think maybe his eye and or his hearing may have been bad because he developed a brain tumor and towards the end could not even stand so we had to have him put to sleep.
Loveable dog, but a big coward.
That is a good story
