My Aussie dog which herds livestock is part Dingo in it's breeding. That dog knows no fear and is the most fiercely loyal dog I've ever seen. She weighs in at 28 pounds but will take down a horse if you tell her to.

Training her was brutal. They are the most "anxious to kill" dogs I've ever seen. It's sport for them. Finally one day it clicked and she now knows not to kill. She just grips on a large animal like a clamp. She can get under a sheep or cow and nip at their belly to keep them at a run and match their pace stride for stride.

If my wife does not come to bed with me but comes in an hour later, that dog will not allow her in the room until I say it's ok. She guards my kids the same way. (my poor wife!)

That picture you posted looks just like my dog. The teeth are not quite as plentiful though.

Remind me to call ahead if you ever invite me by for a visit...

Plenty of Dingos in southern Idaho- sheep dogs. But you should get rid of any animal that growls at your spouse.

Good puppy! But they don't always have to show their teeth to get their point across.
