mine have never witness violence
but my female gidget will go off on anyone that even looks like they want to hurt me..or the kids...she has a high pitch bark, about 10lbs and will bite but has never broken the skin on anyone ..my husband smacked me on the rump one morning before leaving for work and got bit but he was ok...and he never gets upset with them about it..
my quiet shy little male HATES my dad now because he was joking with me and smacking me on the arm one night and teddy freaked out snarling and growing and biting and now hates men with boots on..(and my dad is a great guy never hurt our dogs) and my husbands dog doesnt like anyone to hit him..shes 8 and will snarl and snap if anyone pretends to hurt him..my youngest bella doesnt give a hoot..=) she just wiggles and is like "can i play" "huh huh" |
