They say it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. These two short videos offer evidence that this adage is true.
In the first video, you see a man that is bold enough to attempt a home invasion in broad daylight run for the hills when a 8 pound Yorkie confronts him. Whether he has a phobia of small dogs, or whether he knew that the homeowners and neighbors were now altered to his presence from the dog’s barking, the result is the same, he ran and the homeowners are safe.
The second video shows what looks like a 200 pound plus black bear run, not once, but twice, from what also looks like a tiny Yorkie. The videos are comical, but they serve as a lesson as well, you don’t need a 90 pound, attack trained, Pitbull for security. If you can’t have a dog that size, for whatever reason, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy an increased level of personal safety, not to mention the companionship of a dog.

For years and years and even more years I did not like small dogs. My wife and I were big dog people. German Shepherds were our favorite breed. To me small dogs were those annoying creatures that came flying out of nowhere to attack my GSD while I’m trying to hold them back. I saved more than one little dogs life.
I became disabled, my wife and I said that we would never own another dog. Almost as soon as we said that God pulled a joke on us. It came in the form of a miniature longhaired dachshund. The dachshund was not in on the joke. She decided she hated my entire family, me especially. My next door neighbor had bought her for his kids.
I’ll jump forward in time here. As I set in my recliner that very same dachshund drapes herself around my neck and goes to sleep. She wakes up now and then and licks my face. With my German Shepherds I did not allow this but she trained me to accept it.
One of the first things I learned is that my mini shares many of the same noble qualities that a German Shepherd has but in a smaller more intense package.
She adapted to my lifestyle. She trained herself to become a service dog. Had she come along when I was younger I could have easily trained her to be a hunting dog because that’s what the dachshund was bred to do.
In her mind her job is to protect my property. She knows she’s too small but make her angry and she’ll overcome her fear in a split second and I know her well enough that I can see that sometimes she is afraid.
Long story short, I now own the best dog I’ve ever owned in my life. I wish I’d become familiar with the breed many years ago.
