my orange rex i had when i was a child was very defencive of her hutch she was fine with me and mom, but sometimes if a cat tried to get in, she would give a good kick needless to say the cats learnt there lessons quick,
in regards to big dogs i love them, im in a situation at the mo with a neightbours dogs hes has just adopted a loverly 6 month old boxer, but they are finding it hard to control, one person is there all the time and he gets plently of exersice, but he bites and he bit his owner for the first time last week, and a few of us had told him he has to nip this in the bud or he will try to rein dominance in the household, im just working my round on offering to help train him, i mean hes fine with me, he jumps up once i tell him to sit look him striaght in the eyes then i fuss him, he knows not to mess with me, or my parnter, just thinking of a subtle way to offer to help, i mean they are a nice family too and they do love the dog, just alot of us know where this could go if they dont do somthing
