mita Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know where the pics were taken? It looks somewhat like a hardware/timber shop & yard in the next suburb. There were two nice dogs like that, in the timber yard section.... with two really snazzy kennels. Like everyone else, I used to say Hello to them as I walked past.

WreckitWhippet Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 That;s generally how they will greet a non threatening person, they'd probably let you over the fence too. Try getting back out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, although they sure looked very sweet, I still didn't dare to poke my fingers through to find out, although it was tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who walks down behind Doyle's Timber & Hardware to Mitchelton railway station might recall. The yard looks just like that.... & the dogs, too, even down to one being a lighter colour. One big difference is those 2 signs on your pic's gates .... both not there at Doyle's! Edited April 1, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 VIctorian law states that dogs left on a commercial premises outside of work hours for the purpose of 'guarding' must have signage as a dangerous dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have a nasty habit of "breaking" guard dogs by making friends with them through the fence... I got into big trouble once when I was caught giving one tummy rubs through the fence at a car yard... apparently it was really nasty and would supposedly take your arm off, and it's handler was scared of it. It was a really sweet dog (for me) actually... lol! The secret is chicken flavoured Smiths chips... lol! Haven't met a guard dog yet that doesn't like them. The funny part is that I haven't the slightest intention of burglarising - I just like patting dogs... feel free to call me crazy... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my last job, we'd be there til 2 or 3 in the morning, and the place next door had these 2 huuuuge GSDs as guard dogs. They would go nuts barking and carrying on if anyone else got too close, but I made friends with them. They were just big snugglies really :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I sure as hell wouldn't be testing the the wagginess of their tails - LOL. I worry that dogs so close to fences are targets for baits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so. The Brisbane place has/had only one sign on the gate , not the two that's on the Victorian one. But it's interesting how that double signage really hits a person in the eye up front.

julesluvscavs Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) My Dad had guard dogs years ago when he had a business... I don't really remember much about them as they were yard dogs, not house dogs. I think he brought one home for a couple nights once as it was crook. I was just saying the other day to my husband how you don't see guard dogs around as much anymore.. Probably because there are more effective security systems in place now? I do vaguely recall he had signage up about guard dogs on patrol.. Edited April 2, 2013 by Jules❤3Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because there are more effective security systems in place now? I do vaguely recall he had signage up about guard dogs on patrol.. Sometimes the sign does all the work. :) Friends moved into a house in one of the posh suburbs. They ordered a few new items of furniture. But they were puzzled by deliverymen phoning before they came & asking was it OK to come to the front door. Mystery was solved when they found at the footpath end of the long driveway, a sign that said, 'Beware of the Dog'. It had been put up by the previous owners... & our friends simply hadn't noticed it. But all the deliverymen had! They didn't own a dog, but they decided to leave it there as it acted as a deterrent. At night it was lit up by the driveway solar lighting. Edited April 2, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
