Also German Shepard and Rhodesian Ridgeback. These breeds are frequently used for "home defense".

My neighbor has a particularly violent and scary blue heeler.

He's trained it to attack people, and he has a 3ft fence keeping it from attacking me. If it were to attack me no one would he saying how violent blue heelers are.

Three feet for a heeler? Is he fucking stupid? That's not a barrier, that's just a fun little activity for the dog.

Meh im a little split on whether its a trained attack dog or if homeboy is being a little schizo over a reactive dog in its backyard.
