Will she whip the crap out of all visiting dogs, males included?

Yep....you'll be feeling pretty bad for the dogs and there will be blood everywhere on that perdy white coat of hers...but it won't be her blood. She'll kill them if you let her have free reign over the situation. I knew a fella that had a few GPs that would bring the dead yotes to his gate and leave them there for him. A good GP that has a territorial trait will not mess around about her territory and I've heard the females are more so than the males of this breed.

Nice, nice dogs....bad mamma jammas on stray dogs....or any dog, for that matter. My mix GP nearly killed our neighbor's dog that came visiting with them. She also put the hammer down on my niece's dog that came for a visit. That dog spent the rest of the day quivering and shaking in the truck...and he didn't even get a tooth mark. She was just that ferocious.

She was well socialized and I could take here anywhere and she was not dog aggressive~even used to take her to the local nursing home to love on the patients~but a dog step foot in her yard and he was dead meat. When Jake would see her attack, he would work from the other end and they would try to meet in the middle....I loved to see them work! Friendliest and sweetest dogs in the world until a dog walked into their boundary and looked sideways at their chickens and sheep.

Y'all ain't gonna to believe this! All those geese that flew over a couple days ago going NorthEast, well they just now flew back over headed back where they came from! I bet that string of geese was AT LEAST 1/2 mile long! I was sitting in the house and heard them. I figured it was one little "V" headed somewhere. Nope, HUNDREDS!!! I took some pics with my cell phone but you can't tell much about it...

Now I don't know if the geese had anything to do with it but less than five minutes earlier every one of my chickens were carrying on like they had gone crazy. I went outside to be sure something wasn't after them then hollered at them a couple times and they shut up.

WHAT is going on around here!!! LOL

I need a couple of those so bad! LOL Did your "wireless containment fence" work with her? And the meter reader, kids, and whoever wouldn't get bit if they happened to get out of place and you not around?

Yep...worked VERY well for her. She was the biggest sissy about being hurt or shocked you ever saw. When I would change boundaries and she would accidentally get shocked, she would stay in the center of the boundary and not come out of it for a couple of weeks, no matter what. Not for food, water or to poop and pee. I'd have to drag her over to the feeding area just to get her to eat after one of those episodes.

All humans were safe in her territory, even the strangers, though the electric meter guy got very nervous at the way Jake would stare at him...that quiet, head down Border Collie stare. He started reading the meter with binoculars from across the road. I had to call the power company because my readings were not accurate and so convinced them the dogs were contained by an invisible fence, could not reach the meters and had never been human aggressive.

I kept hoping that people would think they were fierce towards humans...that's always an asset when you live near the road and are a single woman...but those dogs were the biggest mushpots in the world if someone would just pet them. They sounded bad and would bark at strangers but they wouldn't have attacked anyone....if the person would keep walking in their direction their heads would go down, the tails start to windmill, and all the pretense would be gone. Embarrassing, really. All bark, no bite when ya really need it.

I don't know. But do you have a cellar?

Unless it's high ground you should be seeking ...
