Mo, my mother has a favorite saying "the dog you need to watch is the one
who ISN'T making the fuss". That can be true <G>.
I don't have dogs that act a fool when someone comes to the door; they just
sit quietly and watch. (They aren't allowed to scratch the paint!!!!).
So anyway, one day the doorbell rings, Justin (Becky x Jim son) was in my
office w/ me and we go down to answer. Justin sat to my left, and with the
door only opened part way, he was partially obscured by the side
panel/decorative window. Not a peep. (Justin has a head about the size of
your
beloved state).
I had canceled the Scott's organic lawn service. It didn't seem to be
doing anything and now this guy had come to argue over why I shouldn't cancel.
I didn't invite him in, but he placed his hand on the door at one point
and Justin stood. I think that was the first time he noticed the dog.
"Does he bite?"
"Only when I tell him to."
That was the end of the conversation.

Cindy,
I too want to see a "breeding stallion". Lordy, my boys would take longer
to get from the back door to the bitch (20-30 ft) than it took them to get
the job done, LMAO, THAT is a "breeding stallion"!
I ALSO want to see them have the SENSE to know when to turn the aggression
on and when to turn it off. Ring side at a show, is surely not the place
to
be aggressive. I love it when people ask me if my dogs bite,I tell them
only
IF you do something you need to get bit for! Other than in the face of
danger for me OR them, I expect them to act like true Texas Gentlemen. Mo
