okily dokily,for the sake for shortening this post a pit,just assume that I've quoted LadyConstanze post about vicious kitties and the list of dog attack statistics

I have a queensland heeler,and my room mate has a pit boxer mix(both female)
The pit mix is the absalute sweetest dumbest sweetest dumbest dog ever...I can not over state how sweet and dumb this dog is.....really....she's as sweet as she is dumb and she's pretty dumb....there must be a bowl of sugar where her brain should be.............My heeler on the other hand...well that's a different story
lemme start at the beginning,I've never before owned a dog.I've always had a cat,but never a dog.Cats kill things,bury their poop,and are self cleaning,but a lil over three years ago I got adopted by an adorable ball of fluff that is now Toki(my queensland).It just showed up one day while I was moving in,and knowing nothing about dogs,I assumed she was some sort of dalmatian pit mix.I even tried to adopt her out,since my landlord wanted a 300 dollar pet deposit,and I wasn't keen on having a dog,even an adorable ball of energy that is a heeler puppy.I eventually gave in,the lil gal had nuzzled her way into my heart,I later found out that a whole litter of pure bred blue heelers had been left behind in base housing a few miles from my house,Toki must had escaped and wandered to the first friendly face she found.At this point,I'll re iterate that I've never owned a dog before,never trained one,looked after one,nothing..
I didn't know that they are more prone to disease then the self cleaning cat
and before you can say"did she get her shots yet"she came down with parvo
With a bag full of fluids and persistence,she made it.and boy howdy did she recover her strength.
The second challenge was to find a way to keep her in the yard while I was a work.
She had a habit of escaping and terrorizing my neighbors,she'd herd em
any one she saw in the street was either cuddle "I love you do you have treats for me"mugged or nipped at their heels till they found shelter.
the lil gal broke almost every chain I put her on,and this was when she was barely 30 pounds,still not even fully grown,I had to get a heavy duty chain from the hardware store in the end..not to mention her excavation ability,apparently queenslands are mostly dingo with just nuff herding dog in them to make them drop the baby and chase a bull half way across the out back,and one of the main things dingos are known for is making large burrows for themselves .but eventually I got her to calm a bit.Luckily heelers are easy to train,and now I can even leave the gate open with out her wandering off(unless she sees a cat....she looooves chasing cats,she doesn't hurt them,when she corners them,she just tries to bat at them....did I mention she's playful).I've never trained her to be aggressive,but one of the reasons I decided to keep her was for protection,even thou I live in a nice small rural town,I live in a really bad part of it.I've had my house broken into twice,once before I even fully moved in.With no real training what so ever,she has become a rather good guard dog.My next door neighbor whom I share a yard with has people coming and going all hours of the day(he's a wanna be drug dealer),and only when they touch something of mine does she react...I don't even know how she knows.For instance,one day while sitting in my couch,dog sleeping next to me,she suddenly rears up and raises hell at the door.I look outside and sure enough,two idiots are cutting the lock to my bike and trying to steal it....I didn't even hear a thing,and some how she knew that not only were there people in the garage,but they were attempting to take off with my stuff.....and she was asleep....I wouldn't even know How to train a dog to do that,I don't even know if it's possible to train a dog to do that,but some how,she's learned to do it,and she does it well enough to do it in her sleep.more recently I heard glass shattering at an odd hour in the morning...it was the window of my car,and there was a man walking away calmly,from my car......I confronted the man who proceed to argue with me,all the while toki,stayed right at the open gate,alert but silent,after a few minutes of shouting the man then shoved me and made a run for it,with out having to say a word,toki was on him like white on rice.had him by the ankle and when he turned to combat her,she reacted by darting back and forth in and out like a prize fighter on meth,pretty much pinning the dude where he was.in the commotion, my tape player dropped out of his waist band and he took off running,toki gave chase for just a few seconds and then trotted back like nothing happened......Like I said,I've never had a dog before,and she was too young when I got her to have been trained by a previous owner.I have no idea how she knows what to do,since I haven't the slightest clue of how to train a dog other then rub their nose in it when they've done something bad in the house.Did I mention that she's just barely 45 pounds,and she confronts full grown men.Not to mention that the rest of the time she's only aggressively friendly,even to complete strangers(except for anyone dressed like santaclause,she fucking hates santa).As for the pit/boxer mix,When my roommate said they had a pit,at first I was nervous,but it quickly became apparent that I didn't have to worry a bit bout it.The fist day was tense,but it was toki that was aggressive and dangerous,not the pit,but after then they've been besties.there was an incident when the pit was away for bout a month(the pits a lil over a year old and she has a habbit of running of like toki did,but not smart nuff to find her way back)and when she came back,both were in heat.Toki got ubber territorial and nearly killed the poor lil pitty who was not able to defend herself adequately,but the animosity quickly faded after some quick smacks to the bottom.
as for the pit's behavoir,other then chewing on things she shouldn't a repeatedly pooping in the house,ect.
she's an exceptionally sweet dog,not a mean bone in her body.give her a lil praise and she nearly falls apart with glee.raise a voice in her direction and she hides.When she gets loose,the only thing she does is beg for human food and human attention,from complete strangers to familiar faces(I lied a bit when I said that toki likes strangers,she likes some,if the person is sketchy looking,she keeps her distance,unlike the pit who loves everybody).my only problem is that she's dumb as a rock....
oh,and as for mean kitties,the last cat I had,I had adopted from the pound as a kitten when I moved into a house that had been derelict for years(I had squirrels...inside the house).I then proceeded with what I called "Spartan training" the lil fluff ball.Catching live flies for her to play with when she was tiny and giving her lots of praise when she dispatched them ect.she started on the squirrel problem when she was still smaller then they were.When the time came to get her fixed,I left her at the vet,and when I came back,I got a story of how it took three trained vets to hold her down just to sedate her.......I felt so proud lol
