Although our dog LOOKS like a pit, we believe he is an American Bulldog (mixed with something else non-bully) and they're a little different from an APBT. Hobie barks ferociously when anyone approaches the house (like a good guard dog), even if I am there. I actually have to put him in the bathroom when guests come because he scares the crap out of people (then he calms down after a couple of minutes and I let him out). If he were out, and I was there, he would just sniff them until he decided they were ok and that's that. We've never had an actual aggression problem with this dog, he doesn't need a muzzle at the vet/groomer, and he generally likes everyone he meets. It is just the look of him, and his confidence and barking that is scary, but that is what makes him a good guard dog. If someone tried breaking in my house, they would be confronted with a 70+ lb white pit looking thing barking very ferociously and I think that would keep them out! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatk...@... wrote: > > But then again, if anyone did try to break in, they'd probably turn around > once they saw him > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: cbrianwatk...@... > Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:19:17 > To: <AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com> > Reply-To: cbrianwatk...@... > Subject: Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Attack in AP last night > > Same here, but if someone broke into my house when we weren't home, he'd sit > on their lap before he chases them out lol > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -----Original Message----- > From: "fancypaaantz" <fancypaaa...@...> > Sender: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com > Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:13:43 > To: <AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com> > Reply-To: AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Attack in AP last night > > > Whenever my husband wants to walk around at night I always say "take the > dog!"
