Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
My dogs are my first line of defense. If someone made it into my home and past my dogs, 1911 and my AR. Michelle will be locked in the bedroom with Elliana and another AR and XD .45, and she is an excellent shot. My shotguns are in the safe in the basement, but when I get my M4 it will be in the closet.
I hear you. Old Riggs shows amazingly good judgement when it comes to people/critters showing up unannounced. He is not the type of dog to just bark like crazy at anything (except motorcycles).Originally Posted by Drilldo
Usually, if a friend or family member drives up, Riggs somehow knows they are a "friendly". He'll wag his tail and bark once or twice just to let me know they're here. This behavior will start long before they actually get to the house.
If a coyote or unknown person shows up at night, Riggs will wake up from a dead sleep and give his alarm bark. Somehow he knows they're coming, not just that they're here. Its like he has a sixth sense or something.
He is the most gentle dog I've ever met, but I have no doubt he would fight a rabid T-Rex to protect his humans...
i had a golden like this growing up. kindest dog on the face of the earth. let kids tug and pull on her, loved to play, barked when people came to the door or drove up in the driveway, but in a way that didn't sound scary at all. then one time a random guy drove up the drive way in the afternoon when my mom and i were the only ones home, out in the country. libby came running out of the corn field, hair standing up on the back of her neck and for the first time in my life i heard her growl. the guy said he just wanted directions, but when he went to pen his door libby got right up in the window. he jumped back and asked if she would bite and my mom wisely said "i don't know..." so the guy just asked directions and left. funny thing is too she never seemed to like to mail man much but LOVED the ups guy. dang, i need to get a dog
Want to mess with his favorite girl?
Tyson barks at the doorbell, if he barks at anything else, something is wrong. I know he would defend me and my family.
I got into a fight with a drunk canuck cowboy in front of him and he had a grip on the dude's calve and was trying to pull him out from under me. Snoop is a big baby, but he sounds like a bear when he barks. I'll (hopefully) never have to use a gun to defend my family.
