The lady I got my Airedale Misty from told me that when she was a child and misbehaved her Dad would take off his belt and take her into the garage to be spanked. One day her Dad took off his belt and the family Airedale knocked him down and held him there until her Mom came out to rectify the situation.
So who gets the bullet in the head now..the dog was protecting the child from perceived harm.
Quiet frankly I would be quiet reassured that, that dog would never let any harm come to my kid so long as it was around. Thats what I would want from that dog.
Also when I was growing up the family down the street got a Lab & black Springer mix...Shaun..a 100 lb dog. Because there were 5 kids in the family that Dog got loved on 5 times allday everyday. After awhile the dog just wanted to be left alone and would growl if it were pestered too much. However if somebody in the family were in an arguement the dog would try and get betwen them. Alsoif anyone from outside the family threatened a member of the family Shaun would try and get between them and growl. So there is a thing called giving the dog the integfrity and respect for its own space. Just as you would demand for yourself.
BTW nobody in the family ever thought much about it..they just let the dog be..and Shaun lived about 12 years.
