If anyone was daft enough to take me on then bigger fool them and fair play to my dogs if they got bitten. Would have to be very good runners
My dogs don't guard me at all when we are out but I am 100% certain that if I needed them they would be there
yes police dogs are trained to hold, but if one accidentally took a chunk out of some scumbag while it was protecting its handler, that would be fine by me.

Hope I never get to find out if she would protect me.
I liked the policeman who said "what dogs?" - good man! and I loved Claire and Daisy's oh so British incident

And yes I do hope that their size would put anyone off trying, and I feel safer walking with them than on my own. If anything ever happened and they did protect me, they would get lots of fuss and praise.
In some situations it is perfectly ok for a dog to bite, eg a police dog doing it's duty.
I take it you weren't around when the hoo hah about training police dogs to 'head butt' rather than bite was posted then?
Having known of someone around here who hadn't actually done anything wrong and had a chunk taken out of him by a police dog who wasn't under proper control - I wouldn't be so quick to say 'it's ok by me' if a police dog bites. They are trained to very high standards for a reason.

I was flashed at once a very long time ago while walking the kids to school through the woods and my Cocker spaniel Shannon flew out of the trees where he had been poking about and gave chase, jumping and snapping at the bloke as he legged it.
