Sometimes it's not even enough to be there with them. I have a small cement front yard that has wrought iron fencing. I ran chicken wire around the inside of the fence because all of my guys can slip through.
Morning routine used to be take dogs for a walk, put them in the front yard, go up the stairs and grab folding chair to sit in the front yard with them.
Mind you, the door is RIGHT THERE.
One morning I put the pups in the yard, open the front door, grab the chair which is right by the door, turn around, some guy is lifting Pixie OUT of my yard, and I was RIGHT THERE!
I didn't even think, I just LAUNCHED the chair at his head and I actually got him. He dropped Pixie and ran, and if it wasn't for the fact that mah bebes were right there and I couldn't leave them, I swear I would have went after him.
When I say my back was turned for less than 10 seconds, I really mean my back was turned less than 10 seconds. This guy had to have been watching me and had I not had the chair right there, if I had to step into the house I would have never known what happened, she would have just been gone.
My rottie breeder friend tells me I need to get a "real dog" to protect my "toy dogs"
I have to admit, sometimes, I think she's right. I have seriously started thinking about a rottie or dobie, or even a cane corso...
Also, didn't a member have a dog almost get snatched while she was walking her baby on leash???
