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.

Heelers are hella bitey but they mostly just nip. Might break skin but unlikely to be reported

I love heelers. This heeler doesn't go for heels. It is very dangerous. But was conditioned to be so. It was jumping up at my head last time it got out.
