Decided to be a hero yesterday and double my gym time.
I'm sorry body, I was a fool :(
Decided to have an argument with the new neighbour's dachshund and lost. Was lopping some shit so was holding a bow saw too.
Those things are mean.
I think they are hunting dogs, so yes, would be aggressive.
Yea. I only attempt to pat them after my tetanus booster.
Yep. Bred to go underground and chase giant rats (badgers) and kill them - all by themselves. Serious prey drive and independence. Sort of terriers on steroids. Not pettable imo. Not very good at going up and down stairs though.
My experiences with these dogs have been slightly negative...
