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...
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.
