Quote:Every dog I've ever had has been that way, except one. When I was a kid, we had an Akita mix named Hobie. He was super sweet with us and and other family members, but he hated strangers. He was actually a great guard dog. The two dogs I had previous to the ones I have now, were big babies. I had a Boxer named Shawnee and a Rhodesian named Cheyenne. The two sweetest, calmest dogs ever. They loved everyone. The two I have now are wild, but very friendly. If someone tries to break into the house, I'm relying on their barks to scare them away. They're big dogs and their barks can be quite intimidating to people who don't know them. If that doesn't work, I have guns as backup protection against intruders. LOL.

I think I've heard that about Akita's. It's not necessarily a bad thing either.


I hope mine would at least bark at an intruder but I'm not sure he would ha. He just loves people. He was a rescue dog and he really appreciates attention.


He got into a stranger's car once while I wasn't home. The crazy lady actually took him. It's a long story but thankfully I got him back. Lucky for that lady that it was my mom she dealt with (I was at work) and not me. My mom was far nicer than I would have been to the lady.
