Doggies!

[Mandlaka]

looks like your one is a good one.
The one that bit me was a screwed up one but I have to work on keeping the memory from clouding my judgement. We see how it goes.
But the guy himself will never be granted guest rights (as the Mongols would say) in my presence.
I really will deal with him if he dares come anywhere near my home, friends or kids when SHTF. He is a cantankerous little a***hole who then frightened my kids one morning about 10 days later on the way to school with his mutt. I lost my rag and pulled the boys behind me and roared at him threatening to kill his mutt and then him if he felt he was tough enough to come at me and my kids with that mutt. I hate getting into confrontations and my really young kids were so scared by the whole thing. Looks like the bar-steward took my threat seriously 'cos he suddenly vanished from the neighbourhood for several months. The dog has not been seen since.
Having noted what you have said I will add the breed to my list of possible choices.
Much appreciated.
