- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year! - Location: Corinth, New York

I suggest a S&W .38 special. Pepper spray is great, as long as you don't get hit with backmist and end up incapacitated while you are trying to fight off an attack.

Re: A scary thing happened the other night!
I carry pepper spray as well, and have a baton. I figure if I ever need it, I can deal with the legal ramifications later. But I never thought of those things as defense against other dogs.
Recently we were charged by a Great Pyrenees. I had a taser with me and grabbed it quick. I never had to use it, but the dog was highly reactive to the cracking noise it makes when you press the button and turned in its tracks. My dogs must be used to it, but I have now "tested" other dogs reaction to the static noise and all of the dogs have bailed. I kinda liked the knowledge I got from that, and now it goes with me everywhere.

Guess what happens when you shock a dog that is biting you? Carry a gun. Seriously.
