Dog agression story!!

[nate3]

Great story cward!  And to add to it, I'm pretty sure you get one tear drop per kill (so I have heard)...and he had 3!!

I let my dogs out to run the other day and I was sittin in the shop and heard my 10 month old dogo pup sounding off a pretty mean bark (he has 3 different barks)...I went and looked and there was a guy I didn't know there, he had just got out of his truck and Tyson(dogo) was not gonna let him go anywhere!! I told the guy to get back in the truck and when he did I called Tyson off!, he is a real nice dog but he knows who he has seen before and who he hasn't!!

"I'm pretty sure you get one tear drop per kill (so I have heard)...and he had 3!!"
I think you right.

I bet he had more than three tears on the other side from when your dogs bit him on the arse.  lol

Here is a similar story to cwards. I lived on a big ranch and we had a 6,000 sq ft barn where we kept tractors, hay equipment, tools, welders, etc. We also had a seperate horse barn with 10 horses and ran 500 cow/calf pairs. You could see the barns from the road (it was maybe 200 yards) but mostly open pasture between the barns & road.

I always kept my dogs penned during the day as I had help, feed/fertilizer salesmen, etc in and out. There was a cattle gap at the driveway with a gate you could close if needed.

After the work was done for the day and everyone left I would shut the gate and turn my old PJ dog loose. This was a yellow ringneck female that weighed about 70 lbs and was mean.....

Everyone around knew her. I could go to the cattle market with the 1 ton flatbed dually and leave her untied on the back of the flatbed all day and she wouldn't get off the truck.....but she wouldn't let anyone touch the truck either! She was serious too.

Anyway she ran loose at night (even though I used her on cows and hog hunted her some, she stayed around the house & barn at night). One night about 1 AM I heard her tear out of the yard running after something. She had caught one coyote that was killing chickens and had bayed a couple of hogs right in the yard over the years, so I figured I better go see. I got up and looked out the door and all I could see was a flashlight going wide open towards the road and could hear a person yelling. Then I heard a truck door slam and tires squealing as they took off. I went down and looked and they had parked behind some trees on the road and had cut my fence. Then they had gone to the barn loaded some tools on a new riding mower and were pushing it to the road to keep quiet.  There were (2) 2" x 6" boards in the road where they had planned on pushing the mower up in the truck I guess........

The mower was out in the pasture, the dog had blood on her muzzle, so I called the cops. They came out and looked at everything and said these guys were pros as there had been about 2 dozen cases of them stealing mowers/tools just in the past month in my county.

Well, they didn't get my stuff!! I like a dog that will do things  like that. I DON'T like a fear biter or goofy dog that you can't trust. I can hunt my dogs with anyone and they act fine. They are not going to walk up to you to be petted, but they aren't going to bite you either. They are mostly going to ignore you. But at my house, or in my truck they are very protective and will bite. But if you come to hunt and we are outside loading up gear and I turn a dog out of a pen its not going to bite you. They know you belong and we are going hunting. But if a stranger goes to the pens and lets a dog out most of my dogs would be all over the person.The dogs are just smart enough to know the difference.

And I have always said, give me a smart dog and you can teach it a lot of things.

Thats a good story Cracker C......sounds like your dog made a beleiver out of those "professional" thieves.

The two dogs I have now are soft compared to what I would consider a good guard dog but they are still Cur dogs and have thier moments .  One day I got home from work about 7:30am, let my dogs out of thier kennels so they could lay in the yard and went to bed.   I was woke up about 9:30 by the dogs making a ruckus so I went out side and they had put the meter reader over my yard fence.  He was a new guy and did not know about my dogs and the dogs did not know him so they put him out of my yard lol.  Luckily he was a country boy and uderstood so no trouble ever came of it.  My dogs stay in my kennel when I am gone and they usually knock on the door and ask me to put them up because they are not out when I am not home.  Also any woman meter reader can come into my yard with no problems.  I guess that means and woman could rob my blind and my dogs would not do anything about it...lol. 

Here's a question for you and Cward...Those are good stories and really tell what a good curdog is all about when it comes to life outside of working and hunting.  Would yall mind if I Write them down and record it so maybe one day I can put something together about Cur dogs?

Waylon, its okay by me. There sure aren't enough books about cur dogs out there. I have often thought about putting together a book about some of the dogs I have known and hunts I have been on, but its hard to do with trying to make a living, family, etc. Maybe I am just not that disciplined........

I can also tell you a story about the time that same dog broke a chain she was on and got IN the UPS truck with the driver...who was behind the expanded metal door that goes between the drivers compartment (where the dog was) and the back of the truck......and calling for SOMEBODY to get this dog that had ahold of the gate and was shaking it..........and him trying to hold it closed from the inside.......  I am sure it wasn't funny to him at the time but he was a black guy and our regular UPS driver and he was always saying one of my dogs would get loose one day and "eatn him up"..... he thought this was the day!

Here is a pic of that old dog. She was about 10 years old in this pic but you can see that look in her eye that says "don't mess with me".........

Sure Waylon don't see a problem with it!!
