I have a Min-Pin mix and a american staffordshire terrier. Two nights ago i noticed 3 males standing out front of my house across the street, i didn't think anything of it at the time until 2 AM when my staffys barking woke me up, mean while my min-pin was sleeping peacefully. I went out to the kitchen where my staffy was barking- he was on TOP of the sink barking viciously at the window above the sink- he is a good soild 85 pounds so i am amazed how he got up there. I turned on a light and seen the same 3 males trying to get in the door beside the kitchen window. since they were on my property i let my staffy outside and he went after them until they jumped back over my fence. if it wasnt for my staffy barking i wouldnt have known about the guys trying to get in my house. can they tell when there is danger more than other dogs? he has always been very protective of me and my mother. When i was around 17 i went for a walk with him at night and a guy was walking towards us and my staffy stopped dead in his tracks and let out a low pitch growl then the guy turned around and went the other way- however after that a few other people walked towards us and my staffy didnt do anything to them, he actually let them pet him lol. it's like he can tell if someone is bad or good. it's weird. Has anyone else had this happen?
