Sorry guys, I disagree - we have had about 60 - 80 ABs come thru our club in the last 18months. (about 3/4 of those dogs came from one very large kennel.. the guy wanted all his dogs evaling)
And if the AB is of the right mind ( and in the 10% that are not nerve bags) NOTHING is going to stop that dog except either a gun or an axe, or something very similar... let alone a woman on her own with another dog.
All I can say guys... is these are NOT herders.. and for you to come to this conclusion, you have not seen enough ABs.
AARRGGH, Will, Smashing cow femurs? And I was just getting over that sick feeling in my stomach from facing that menacing beast yesterday!! Seriously though, thank you for the link on where to purchase a walking stick. Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. The incident was a real, rude wake-up call for me. I never really gave it a thought before, as to how vulnerable I would be. The only thing that I ever took on a walk were a couple of plastic baggies for pick up. I walked that route a hundred times, and I never saw that dog before yesterday. I wouldn't have had a prayer if he would have attacked. I know what these dogs are capable of if they are in a really bad mood, and I sure hope I don't get to see a repeat performance any time soon.

Peter,
Why would someone "cock" a walking stick? I'm thinking that you must not be very knowledgable about the art of stick fighting.
Look up the twelve angles of attack pertaining to stick fighting, you might learn something.
It doesn't take Jackie Chan.
It just takes some practice and training.
There was a *grandmother* at one of the stick fighting seminars that I attended. I watched her break several bamboo pieces tied together with one swipe. She did that with about an hour of training and practice. And she didn't "cock" her stick to do it.
Or you can just say "oh, only an expert could do that" and just not bother. Feel free to play the victim, I prefer to stack the deck in my favor with training and knowledge. That's what smart people do.
And again these threads fall into the "my chosen dog breed is a superdog and can not be stopped" thread. :rolleyes:
I wish we could stay in the real world for the threads sometimes.....
