I may do that. Not even a Jack Russell would try to kill a Doberman.

I had a Great Dane try ... sort off

I used to walk my doberman, Ceasar, past a house with a Great Dane every day as part of his daily walk. This Dane lived about 300m up the road from me. Every day, the Dane who was double the size of my Ceasar, from behind the safety of his fence, would go off his rocker as we went by. My dog would look but keep walking (only because he had a leash on).

One day, as usual, we went by and the Dane, in usual fashion, went nuts. We kept walking ... a few minutes later, as we were approaching my front yard, I hear the pitter-patter of running claws on bitumen at about the same time my dog did. It was the Dane, he must have gotten out and had run down the road after us. As soon as my dog heard the pitter patter, he turned around and lunged at the Dane who was by this stage about to bite my dog on the rump. My dog was harmless to people, but did not like other dogs. The Dane, upon seeing my dog lunge, turned tail and ran all the way home with his tail between his legs. I'm still not sure why he went to all that effort to race down the road after us if he was just going to turn tail and run without even trying.

From that day on, whenever we walked past that house, the Dane would sit there quietly, not a peep out of him anymore. The thing was the size of a small horse, but all bluff and bluster.

Doberman dogs have had the aggression bred out of them but they are still liable to win any dogfight they get involved in!

I told some idiot exercising his two doberman dogs right by a playground that there was a dog park not far away and his dogs could really run there. Moron needed convincing and his two Dobermanns ran at me. I stood my ground.

Haven’t seen the moron since.

I did see a kid get bitten by some mutt. So did the boy’s father, bet quite a bit of money changed hands. This happened on the other side of the same damn playground!

Why are some people such idiots? Take your dog to the dog park. Give it more exercise than that dog obviously got!

Killer dogs are an industry, its legal to breed and sell killer dogs to ice dealers, or anyone for that matter.

Pit bulls/ bull terriers would rip dobermans apart.

Bobby, we can change it to niceness (but I am intrigued by the type of dogs that can become or are bred to be vicious, need to always be aware of them).

I have a nice story about my parent's dog, Rusty, the Doberman.
He wasn't aggressive, but needed to be careful, just in case, as my kids were smaller back then.

I never really had much to do with Rusty, I was busy with bubbies, and it was my folks dog anyway.

When my dad suddenly passed, and we had to spend an entire week getting it all ready, run here, run there, prepare the funeral, final resting place which was in Dromana Cemetary.
We all stayed at mum's beach house in Dromana, getting all this ready.
It was mid winter, wild and windy, and raining miserably.

After funeral, all done, come back to mum's place, and I sit on the seat near the side door, feeling forlorn.....

Rusty, who was never much of a cuddly type...actually quietly came up to me, and gently put his head on my lap for a while.

It was a most beautiful gesture, and from that day on, I knew, animals sense stuff about us we could never comprehend. I just never forgot that comfort he gave me there and then.

RIP Rusty

Demi hated cats! I had actually planted catnip thinking it was something else. Cats from all over came to luxuriate in the smell. I would let Demi out for her last pee, she would sense the cats run barking at them and Boom Boom nearly a dozen cats would jump the fence.

Of course they would be back soon after.

I saw Tiffany chase a cat in the backyard then it was the cat chasing Tiffany.

Tiffy didn’t have much of a prey drive but didn’t like cats and hated birds, don’t know why. Swooped by a magpie maybe? Magpies swooped Tiffy, maybe thinking she was a cat? They didn’t swoop Demi who would have climbed trees and eaten their eggs! I have seen Demi over two metres up a peach tree—the rubber ball had landed in some twigs near the top of the tree and she meant to get it!

We used to have 2 cats and a dog, all got on famously. The cats were siblings and very close, a male and a female. The world's ever greatest dog was male. The female cat had both of her brothers wrapped around her little paw and would play all sorts of horrible head games with them. She would often make them fight for her amusement. She was a cow, but they adored her.

Anyway, one night me and my guy and the two boys were watching telly in the very front of the house in front of the fireplace when we heard this ungodly yowling coming from the back yard. All four of us ran out there ... dog leading the way and i saw this as i came up behind him:

The little cow was caught in the closest tree by the b#neighbour's big white cat. I saw it react to the torpedo that dispatched from the burst open back door and completely crap itself.

He was up it without missing a beat ... chased it around the old outhose and across the yard, nose between it's legs all the way to the fence. Thing is, the cat needed to pause, albeit momentarily, to gather itself for the jump. It had no space to do so so it swung around to face the world's greatest ever dog ... ready to fight.

My dog took to opportunity to scuttle it. Just dropped and knocked all four legs out from underneath it. It just fell over sideways. I've never seen a cat treated with such indignity. The cat certainly hadn't.

Anyway, he just turned and trotted over to us ... pissing ourselves in the doorway ... with what could only be described as a shiteating grin. The cat beat a hasty retreat, never to return.

We all went back in side. We went back the lounge room and the cow was lying casually in front of the fire, cleaning herself.

The latest Kerry Greenwood Corinne the baker book had a fair bit in it of dog and cat interactions, including one cat bossing two besotted dogs. Seems that might well be real—not with Jack Russells tho.

He was the best dog. When the cats caught a mouse and were playing with it, he would steal it from them, quickly dispatch it then drop it for them, all covered in dog slobber. Seemed he hated the suffering ... although i may be anthropomorphising.

In any event, he used to catch mice by the tails and bring them to us still alive.
