I've never owned a dog that was aggressive towards me, so I guess I've never owned a true manbiting dog. I've owned quite a few dogs that would try to bite everyone aside from my wife or myself. Like Jack, I've never had any issues with dogs like that, even though some people would. I've owned a lot of dogs, and still do, that absolutely despise children. I believe that's simply more in line with never being around them personally. Be that as it may, my yard is a No Kid Allowed zone if they come with parents.

DTA remember this...We had just worked DTA's Ch. Charlie. You were rubbing him down and I was insulating and covering the shop walls. I dropped a handful of nails, stooped down to pick them up and I looked up. Basically I was down on Charlie's eye level, crouched down close to being on all four's and looking him in the eye. He raised up, tensed and leaned forward. He was a hair away from making scratch.
Nothing man-eating about that just a dog doing what he was both bred and schooled to do. Good times. EWO
I wasn't implying that dogs after kids made them maneaters. I was making another point on dogs was all.
Yeah, kids are another deal too. I agree that is prey drive.
Bandana would go ballistic at a kid, just like it was a dog. To her, it was "small and moving," so it needed to be killed.
I have never seen Silverback around kids, but I wouldn't trust him with one.
He was too intense and perpetually geeked-up to trust, and he was irritable if anything f*cked with him.
When he would play, even with me, it was always very rough, and his bites left bruises on me, let alone a small kid.
His daughter, Amazon, is the opposite, very calm and docile with kids (even other animals). She is more like Poncho in that regard.
Poncho could be eaten alive by puppies; they could play tug-of-war with his face, pull his ears till they bled, never bothered him.
My niece could grab both of his ears and hang on him, under his chin, and he would support her weight with his neck, and let her hang onto his ears, and he never even paid attention.
To be honest, I actually trust the deep, deep gameness of a CALM dog, more than a geeked-up dog ... they tend to conserve their energy better, last longer, and tend to be more unflappable in the trenches IMO.

I'm with you on that jack. it does seem like a lot of those laid back dogs with virtually no aggression even towards dogs tend to be in it for the long haul. Although most of the time they were low ability dogs that didn't do much when they got there but they keep coming. not my cup of tea but you have to respect that.
I tend to see calm dogs as the opposite: high intelligence, dogs that take their time ... and get better and better the longer it goes.
A dog that has the sense to recognize what's friend, and what's foe, is typically the SMARTER animal
I think a lot of the "geeked-up" dogs start so fast, and look so good EARLY ... simply because they're letting it all hang out early ... so of course they look more impressive (at least at first).
It's like running: if you run as fast as you can, you'll cover more ground quicker ... but, ultimately, you'll never make it as far as a runner who paces himself.
Seems like, if the geeked-up dogs are truly superior to their foe, then they pretty much just steamroll the competition, which gets everyone all excited.
Trouble is, if those geeked-up dogs draw a dog with just as much ability, but a calmer demeanor, it seems like that, just about the time those geeked-up dogs start running out of steam, and fading out, those "laid back dogs" really start to come to life and begin to pour it on ... and it tends not to go so well for front-runners, when they draw a truly badass, truly long-distance War Horse like that ...
Geeked up dogs, because of their anxiety, simply "burn more juice" by their very nature and style; whereas rock-calm dogs simply conserve themselves by NOT being that way.
High-intensity dogs are exciting, and fun to watch, and I have had my share of good ones like that ... but I will always trust a truly long-distance machine a whole lot more if I have to be in a war ...

I feel you need both. macho and Xena would let you walk a dog in thier chainspot if they were sunbathingoon a nice day, but let them see four walls... different story
Jack this could be a thread of it's own. People ask me why I like Ch Angus Depot so much. Well he can run with other dogs of either sex and he can live in the house with no problems. But put him between your legs and he he will come unplugged .I tend to see calm dogs as the opposite: high intelligence, dogs that take their time ... and get better and better the longer it goes.
