I couldn't believe it. Two dogs that are new to the neighborhood actually stood their ground, barked and showed teeth to me while I was trying to drive them off this afternoon. I was shocked and even scared. I was wishing I had my pistol in my pocket so I could make some more noise than I already was when yelling at them. After throwing snowballs at them without any effect (I throw like a girl), I retreated to the safety of my house and saw the owners come get the dogs in their car out of my yard.
The dogs appear to be brothers so maybe that is why they didn't back off. I went out with the greatest confidence that the loose dogs would turn tail and run at my first "Go home!" but now would not try to drive them off again without some sort of self defense.
Thank goodness my dog was not out on her run when they showed up. She could have gotten hurt while kicking their asses.
No, not yet. I'd prefer to speak to the owners personally before getting A/C involved. I'm too steamed to do it today. They are my new neighbors, and if they had a problem with me or my dog, I'd appreciate the same courtesy. I just couldn't believe the lack of flight from those dogs when I yelled at them to go away.

Yes, you're right. I would extend that courtesy to new people -- the first time.
We had the same happen with what appeared a mother son combo. The dogs stood their ground twice against my dogs and I. the third time my husband shot the older dog who was definately the more confident.

Wow, I can't imagine the feeling. The other day I had three of the neighbors dogs come running up ( unsupervised of course ) in a pack, hair up and growling loudly. The biggest one stopped just short because I confronted her first but the other two circled around each side of me and tried to get my dog who was behind me.
They were stiff and aggressive towards my pup but I was able to hit one of the ballsy ones at my sides and they were scared enough of me to back off after that..I cannot imagine what would have happened if they were as confident as those two.
I'd definitely be talking to those owners, those dogs sound really dangerous.

Call Animal Control, then call the Police - your neighbors are irresponsible idiots to let dogs like that roam free, you owe people like them *nothing* in the way of courtesy.
Let the authorities handle it, and report it *every time* it happens.
