I really would like to know Sunny's breed.
Sunny was an Australian red heeler cross. I know that the bitch was pure bred heeler.
I suspect the sire was either a spotted hyena or a badger.
Sunny met an untimely demise after I got married. He killed three of the brides cats.
Can't really see the problem in that, can you?
He broke out of his yard one day and made a bee-line into the neighbors yard, a deputy sheriff, in fact the K-9 unit for the county. Sunny made short work of the highly trained police dog. That cost me big time. The older Sunny got the more aggressive he became. I was the only person whom he respected or could control him. I had a strict rule that he wasn’t allowed in the house but he was smart and sneaky as a cat.
The final straw came when I walked into the bedroom and found him staring intently into the crib where my newborn daughter was peacefully sleeping , talk about getting a case of the chills.
It would have been very similar to having found Charles Manson staring into your bedroom window! And I handled it accordingly.
I, or I should say, my sweet young bride killed him.
Desert Fox,
I can tell you this for certain. I will not run dogs on javalina purposely. Those little suckers are way more dangerous to a dog than any feral hog I've ever witnessed.
I compare the two like this. A big feral hog is fighter but there isn't much he can't back down with bad language and a sour expression. kind of like a big ole tatted up biker dude. He is used to getting his way through intimidation and will only really fight when pressed.
A javalina is small in stature and lives amongst some of the keenest predators in the Americas, Lions, Bobcats and such and is small enough to be considered easy prey. A javalina is the real deal and they know how to fight. Kind of like that quiet 140Lb guy sitting at the back of the bar with the wall to his back and that "1000 yard" stare. Small, fast and quick to cut you if you get in his face.
If you know what I mean.
