5 am visitor - Proud of my dog!

Give that dog a bone.

Heck, I figured y'all were out in the middle of nowhere John. Good deal that he didn't actually try and break in, as then I'd have to feel sorry for his ass, and you guys. Paperwork is always a bitch...

My little buddy, Tanner, is a dachsund/corgi mix and he protects his family very well too. When something alerts him and we're in the house he'll let out a low "whispering" bark to see if he gets my attention to the disturbance. When I do he goes on point to let me know exactly where the noise is coming from. If I don't take notice then he will raise his voice a little bit with one more bark. If that one doesn't get my attention then he goes full on with the "I'll tear your fucking heart out and make a nice soup, motherfucker!" bark.

He's a little guy with huge ears, so he tries to let me handle the dirty work while offering support. However, he is not scared to stand his ground.

He loves every one of my regular customers here at work. One day, a new guy comes in and Tanner went on alert the second he came in the store. His hair went into full ridge mode and he was bowed up ready to pounce.
This customer was wandering aimlessly through the store and Tanner wouldn't let the guy out of his sight, but he never let the guy know he was there. I'm watching Tanner's body language for a little while until he gives me "the look". I walk up on him and the customer stiffens up. I'm assisting the customer and Tanner stays on point right in between us. There is maybe a 2 foot gap in between the customer and I.

Up to this point, Tanner hasn't made a sound. Then the customer leans in to ask a question. Tanner went ballistic. This is when I heard his "eat your fucking heart out" bark. It startled the shit out of both of us, but that customer got the fuck back with a quickness. He bought what he had in his hands and left.

I had to hold Tanner for 10 minutes before he was able to fully calm down. It was at that time me and him completely bonded. I love that little guy. Now I'm impatiently waiting on him and mama to get here. He rode with her to the bank to do the deposit. The girls at the commercial window give him dog bones.

A good dog is one of the great rewards in life.

Don't let the pic fool you. This dog is a natural born killer.

[TonyMCev]

that really is a cool story. only way it could have been better is if you were able to hold the guy there with the business end of your shotgun in his mouth til the cops arrived. i love dogs...

I have a litter of blue heeled / red heeled pups . Free to dfw mustang members...lol they are the smartest and most loyal dogs I know. Mine have killed all kind on varmints and one female coyote. Every single puppy we have given away, the come back asking when we will have more because their Freind or family wants one after seeing how smart and protective they are. Got 9 females if anyone wants one. Always get more females and one or two males.

I know for a fact that the girls at the liquor store and at the bank are far happier to see Bandit than they are me!

He gets treats at just about every place we drive through

I had a buddy storing a 68 z-28 in my back yard (2 acres) my red heeler sissy was sleeping on the floor . I noticed a truck parked in the road on the back half of my property . The place has 6 strings of barbed wire around all of it and a hedge row along side the road . I went and grabbed a .45 and shotgun . Just the sound of me racking a round woke up sissy and when I slid the back door open she bolted like a rocket . It sounded like cattle through the hedge row . The truck pealed off before I got there . The dog must have made made him forget about the fence . The next morning I went to inspect the car and found the bloody remnants of a t-shirt stuck in the fence . In all honesty I'm glad the dog got there before me .
At one point IN my house I had the heeler , blue pit , and two boxers . The only one who I would trust my family's life with was that heeler . P.S. no cropped ears
