That's a totally O/T post (although with regards to car-jacking which France is a big fan of, sorry for that KCSUN) but some of you know I've been ranting about safety issue and using a guard dog against it since RS4.org.
So here it is : a small video about Taipan (the dog
and its smaller cousin Tomten ("Gnome" in swedish).http://www.schnauzer-scapmans.com/SchnauzerVideo.htm (45meg)
The first one is a standard Schnauzer Pepper & Salt of 15kg, the second is my giant Schnauzer Black (42kg-2years when filmed, 50kg-3years today).
FYI, the instructor wears a 20kg reinforced costume (3cm thickness) which nevertheless doesn't prevent biting to blood for the unexperienced. I tested it with a 30kg German Sheppard and it bloody hurts and leaves scars.
Taipan does the same than Tomten when in-car (not filmed here) except for size and potential, plus it doesn't let go.
You can guess the scare when the Lamborghini mechanic at my Audi dealer tried to enter the RS4 with Taipan sitted on the passenger seat (invisible due to black on black) while I was standing just 2m away, ready to drive away. [img]images/graemlins/033102scull_1_prv.gif[/img]
Bad idea, very bad idea, mister... Don't enter a car just like that.
No joke.
