I just had a question i have never had the pleasure of seeing one of these dogs in action (in real life that is) SO i am not exactly sure how powerful they really are. But what got me wondering is the other day there was these two men getting into a fight in a parking lot one guy had a pit bull in the back seat of his car and it was going NUTS and the man wanted to fight its owner welll the owner took the dog out and the man was aCTUALLY GOing to STILL Fight the owner with his dog! he was telling the man he was gonna snap his dogs neck. OK what im curious about is are they really that easy to subdue?? i mean I always thought a TRAINED protection dog would be able to dominate any man in a fight? was this man just stupid? he never got the chance do do anything cause a police officer came.

I vote for the man being stupid.
But dogs aren't a silver bullet to winning a fight. It is possible that they can lose and most K-9 officers have told me that if the dog is engaging a suspect they will be engaging the suspect as well. I'm sure that's a whole discussion in itself in regards to proper tactics, policies, etc.
On a ridealong with my local K-9 officer I asked him if people end up fighting the dog and he said "the ones that get bit and resist are usually fighting to get away from the dog rather than trying to overpower and hurt the dog." Most give up fairly quickly.
Not sure if that answers your question but I still think the guys who was "going to snap the Pitbull's neck" is probably pretty stupid.
Yeah I'll say that man is pretty dumb. My bitch is 55 lbs and I'd put her up against anybody that was crazy enough to mess with me. She's got crazy drive, bites hard and hits high. Now speaking from a person with a law enforcement background and several friends that are k-9 officers. When you deploy your k-9 and it engages someone, if you're not on the ground on your stomach 1 second after that dog bites you, that officer is stomping your ass too. Nobody around here messes with the k-9's. They know once that dog is out of the car it's over. They will talk crap and cuss and call you bad names but they don't want non of that dog.

Ok, nowhere do we see anywhere in the first post ( as far as I can read it :rolleyes: ) that the dog involved had any type of protection training. Two rednecks fighting in some parking lot with Bubba's pit bull have nothing to do with protection dogs. And the pit bull certainly wasn't a Police K-9, so for the life of me I can't figure out how this topic was named "queston about police and protection dogs"
And since the topic name has nothing to do with the post....thread closed.
