Possible sign from the gods?

A friend of mine had an old female pit. His neighbor called and told him if he didn't come get his dog off of the neighbors cow immediately, the neighbor was going to shoot her.
When he got there the cow was spinning in circles trying to dislodge the dog clamped on its nose. As she sailed past, my buddy punched her repeatedly trying to knock her loose. The neighbor raised his gun, so my friend grabbed a brick and smashed it into the side of her head as she came around again. She came loose, hit the ground, and immediately went back after the cow. Luckily, my friend was able to jump on her, pick her up and drag her home. Knocked out every tooth on the one side of her mouth.
I could tell you about a blue/brindle I owned but I think this story describes a pits tenacity well.

Get the winkler and the pepper spray!

Poodles are originally German hunting dogs for catching water fowl.

The word poodle comes from the German word for puddle.

Mais NON!

The Poodle is originally a French dog!!

Preposterous to claim, the poodle hails from a sausage eating puddle drinker!!

Im kidding of course. To this day, German and French poodle fans argue this point.
 
I have a 120lbs Rottie/ King Shepherd mix. I got lucky that she has a very goog personality that she seemed to be born with. At the same time I did everything I could to socialize her with anything she might encounter. This includes, people, children, other dogs and other animals.

Owning a powerful breed it is crucial the owner knows what they are doing. It is important to even curb behaviour that may be harmless but percieved by others as threatening.

I'm lucky that she barks at the door, and that's all I really want her to do. Also I know that if my friends rough house in my apartment she will bite them on their butts.

Here is my dog Muffin. She's already turned 9 this month and has been the best natured dog I have ever had the privledge of having in my life. Knife added cause this is BF after all.

I was going through my knives and she looked mad confused so snapped this pic. (She probably thought all my rustling around meant a treat was coming)

Lol yeah, it is a hard arguement as often these breeds existed throughout many parts of Europe as "proto-poodle", "proto-rottie", "proto-alsatian" before they were made an official breed standard.

Breed standardization is still a fairly modern practice. Most "pure" breed standard didn't exist 175 years ago.
 
I too enjoy macho fantasizing about fighting lesser animals... :poop:
This seems more like a W&C thread.

I suspect a knife would not be too useful in actually fending off a dog, unless you're trying to kill it or seriously wound it. Spray or other intimidation tactics would probably have worked better.
 
Im having trouble following this, was the dog in this situation actually a poodle or was the op being sarcastic ?

If this was in fact a poodle I am now even more angry because this would be another instance of someone mistaking any dog they're afraid of as a pit bull.


I've had cops at my door on a few occasions telling me
"your aggressive dog " was running loose and tried to attack someone. She had not been running loose but they saw a " scary " dog and assumed it was a pitbull and mistook it for her because their fear blinds them to her appearance and they don't even know what she looks like. Btw in both instances the dog was a yellow lab mix.
 
Fellas, forget the dog...

Point is in a situation you can not run away from because you're too fat, or family member is held back or for whatever reason (point is you can't run) and you grab the one practical tool you have for defense because you use it on other things. Which of the two would you prefer... A fixed blade (I'd like a Winkler) or a double edge dagger (Benchmade infidel). Keeping in mind that in whatever situation you will be under duress...

The dog was a pit bull, the poodle joke was just that. A joke.

You let your dog run loose? I can tell you this for sure.. If it were to attack me, it will end up with a very nice and expensive knife in it somewhere... If I lose the fight, you'll be a happy owner of a pricey knife.

So I've been eyeing a Winkler knife for some time now, and even more so recently.

Well yeah ! That's NATURAL . . . that's what we do.
Good story so far, can't wait to see how it turns out.

After much debate

With who ? You didn't discuss this with SWMBO did you ? Rookie mistake. ALWAYS conceal the knife shopping from you know who.

So . . . OK you are under surveillance now.

knife . . . would go to waist.
Click to expand...
yes that goes without saying . . . it's a belt knife .:p
. . . belt . . . waist . . . get it ?

Carry a gun

Yes since the behavior of the dog is the owner's responsibility . . . in the day dream world this is the way it should go :
The dog charges.
You pull your gun.
You shoot the owner.
Dog is relived that he doesn't have to live with such an A hole any more and goes home with you to live a cool life for a change.

PS: I don't' know seems like a Para 2 would just ruin the containment integrity of a dog's neck.
Those in the know have said if it is a direct frontal attack push the knife and your hand right down the dog's throat. Kind of wreaks their day that way too.

PPS : I was thinking of starting a thread about opening a one hand locking folder under less than ideal conditions. This is compelling me to do that. Maybe tomorrow. I need to get it straight in my head how I want to present it. I am not thinking about self defense but you have got me thinking along those lines now to.

Yes a fixed blade is better for this though.

PPPS: I carry a neck knife for the exact situation you are talking about. The problem has disappeared around here . . . knock on wood . . . to the point I have been considering not putting it on everyday. I ride a bicycle to work on the bike path. The problems WERE there often but not for a year or so now.

I was just astounded by my reaction. Almost completely frozen but a little voice barking orders.

"your knife! Grab it!"

"open the blade! No, don' drop it fool!"

"stand strong, she' unsure, looking for weeknes"

"she's decided you look tasty! Put your free hand up, she'l go for the neck!"

"she's here! Slash fool! Slash"

"I don't want to kill it... I don't care what you want! Kill the beast if she commits to this attack!"

And she's off..

Please go to" Forums ", look under " Community Discussions Forum " and click on " Activities , Training , & Skills Development " and then again on " Practical Tactical " . That's the place for you ! This very topic has been considered many times in that subforum . Search and be informed and start a thread there, if you still need advise .
 
I'm dead set on a Winkler spike or Benchmade infidel. I don't want to fidel with my knife when it's deployed.

Seems most would go for the Winkler.

I understand and believe you , but most will not . Come to" Practical Tactical " for this kinda thing .
 
Call the cops and report the dog owner. What would have happened if you were a little five year old kid walking down the sidewalk and this dog showed up in the same mode it did when it contacted you. Lots of plastic surgery I'm sure, not to mention the million dollar lawsuit.
