Dude, your dog is as intense as mine but quite. My pitmix is a gentle giant *****. She outbarks the passerby dogs, but silently stalks the critters that come out of their hidey holes. What amazes me is that she rarely kills a thing she catches and she's catching shit at 10+ years. So far this summer she's caught/released a sqquirrel, possum, rabbit and a robin. She killed a baby rabbit thought and was so remorseful. Just like the last time she killed a rooster. I guess she's a gamer. Pits will always be my favorite cross bred dog. They have so much intelligence and an ingrained sense for pleasing their masters.
Our dogs share very similar traits. Your last sentence is spot on as well.
I must ask, how the hell did your pup find itself around a rooster? You doing some farming nowadays?
The only thing Maddie will Intentionally kill with Malice are Shrews, she hates them for some reason.
She'll catch Chippys and flip them like 10 feet in the air and play with them tell they leave her grasp. She's lays in the long grass like a cat near where the chippys cross all the time and pounces, fun to watch.
I have a pic on my old phone of here laying face to face with a wounded bird that hit the padio door with here nose on it gentle as can be.
When I'm talking dogs at the dog park and people see her move with all that quick twitch they're just like holy shit. I just describe her as an Pro athlete in that regard.
At 5 months old and terribly emaciated she could still bound over our 4.5 ft privacy fence like it wasn't even there. She just turned 5 this month.
