Pop quiz: Which of these dogs ~is~ going to bite?

Number 1:

Or number 2:

Since everybody's got a 50/50 chance of simply guessing correctly, also include *why* you chose which dog.

Interesting! I’m going to guess it’s the dog on top, because his ears are up. Ears up indicate confidence, right? A dog with his ears down is trying to make himself smaller.

The question should be, what dog is not only going to bit, but continue to bite with vice like grip, refusing to release even while being hit over the head with a shovel repeatedly. That of course is a pit bull, not a german sheppard.

I do not like my chances! Both are, in my thinking!

number 2...ears flat back

some floppy eared dogs turn up and forward eared when mad

which one is right?

[Hepsabeth]

It's the lower one, right? His ears are in that position to protect them. He knows there's going to be a fight, because he's about to start it.

I’ve gotta go with number 1....showing teeth AND ears up (confident). Number 2 is unsure—ears are down.
