I bet they are.

I was just wondering because my Rotty was very protective of me. Even to the point where he'd lay (casually) between me and anyone else in the room. And if I knew there were going to be raised voices (i.e. - a fight with my guy) I had to put him downstairs or in his crate after he almost growled at my guy once.

You may find this protectiveness happens too with a Shepard.

I had that problem with the female Dane I had when I was a teenager... she was took serious offense to anyone male touching me, and when I would rough house with my cousin, she had to be put in another room. LOL... I had to buy a bigger bed because she insisted on sleeping ON the bed at the foot. It did not matter how many times I told her to get down, as soon as I fell asleep she would be on the bed. Other than that, she was the most well behaved dog ever, but the stuff that worked with her and the other Danes we had just does not work with this little spaz. She is smart, but has no attention span at all. It is driving me nuts.

I am hoping once she is inside all the time she will calm down... it just is not possible for me to have her in now, as my roommate thinks dogs belong outside. :rolleyes:

I thought you were more leaning towards lone wolf...

Edited to add: Well, this would explain the biting...and the obsession you have with pressure and the throat area...

Having a dog and a cat..............Who needs a master. The cats takes the bed and the dog gets VERY touchie when she does not get her walk. Yes animals will rule our lives and we LET them!
 
1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a
specially built wooden compartment named, for very good reason, the dog
house.
2. Okay, the dog can enter the house, but only for short visits
or if his own house is under renovation.

3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis, provided his dog
house can be sold in a yard sale to a rookie dog owner.

4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a
comfortable but secure metal cage.

5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal along with the dog house in
the yard sale, and the dog can go wherever the hell he pleases.

6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture.

7. Okay, the dog can get on the old furniture but not the new furniture.

8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the old
furniture and then we'll sell the whole damn works and buy new furniture...upon
which the dog will most definitely not be allowed.

9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.

10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed.

11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the
covers.

12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not with his head on the
pillow.

13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you under the covers with his head on the
pillow, but if he snores he's got to leave the room.

14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have nightmares in bed, but he's not
to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where I'm now sleeping. That's
just not fair.

15. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaire as "primary resident,"
even if it's true.

When hell freezes over and Satan issues ice skates, and then only maybe.

Until then, let's just say cats run from dogs for a reason.

Understand?

But that's why God gave them handles at their necks.

Flexible spines to always land on their feet, yes, but once suspended by that scruff ... game over.
 
I personally have heard of the curse of the cats piss, luckily I have absolutely no knowledge personal or otherwise about this :D

Have you ever seen what happens to a dog when he corners a cat? Claws come out, and I hope the dog is quick enough to avoid them, or he ends up with a nasty cut on his nose.

I've seen it happen with a bad-ass Rotty, so I believe it.

yes, cats run from dogs for a reason... because they love to laugh at the dog after they make it chase them all over hell and back before ascending to some higher location that the dog can't reach. They sit there and calmly lick their paws while the dog goes into a frenzy of fustration below them. It is called relieving cat boredom. :p
 
It's the same way with collies. My parents have a collie puppy and he bounces everywhere he goes. He's so full of piss and vinegar! I learned to carry nothing valuable upon first entering the house when he knocked me over one weekend when I was coming home from school. Luckily, the laptop survived in tact. He seems to remember his manners for everyone but me.

And though collies aren't exactly known for fierceness, they are extremely loyal. We used to have a male try colored collie that would growl at my mom and tug on her shirt when she was yelling at me or my brother.
 
My friend has a small cat and a VERY large dog.

The VERY large dog was so scared of the cat as a kitten that it would not even look at it, it would enter a room sideways, pointedly "not seeing" the kitten.

There are no laws of nature that function 100 percent of the time.

I like big dogs that don't look at me.
