Hey, there was a guy who was caught with a tiger in his New York City apartment. http://www.strangeny.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=152 As we all know, tigers are not native to New York City, they live in Detroit.

I would like to hire that guy and his "animal" - just to stroll down a few streets in Detroit. Now THAT would intimidate those OTHER guys that think they are "bad" walking a Pit Bull around.
I can just see the Pit Bull get a look at this and faint dead away.

Dsinclair,
You don't have to hire one of those to put the big hurt or fear into pit bull owners. There are a few breeds that are MORE fearsome than the pitbull. Luckily, they aren't very popular, and are generally hugely expensive. ($2K+). The most fearsome of these dogs would be the Tosa Inu. Imagine a Pit Bull crossed with a Great Dane and Mastiff, and you get a Tosa. 150-200lbs rippling muscles and bad, bad attitude. Standing almost 30" at the withers (sometimes more!), these dogs would make a pitbull their squeeze toy. These dogs are exceptionally violent towards other dogs, and generally towards any other animal. They are still bred purely for fighting (these dog fights are legal in Japan, and they actually have their own auditorium, rankings, and are sometimes televised over there). The dogs are so massive, and so ready to fight it takes TWO people to handle them on leashes. I wouldn't count the Tosa out against the hyena, primarily because a big Tosa could outweigh those spotted hyenas by 80 pounds! However, the hyena has some of the worlds most powerful jaws, able to split an elephants shin bone like a twig.
One thing about the hyena is it's generally regarded as one of the top 10 smelliest animals on the face of the earth. Apart from it's horrible breath, it actually oozes a pungent paste. It would make you gag it's so bad. And both male and female have penises.

RE: Guard Dog anyone? *pics* they go cheap I hear...
The hyena is a really odd animal. It is more closely related to a cat than a dog. Unlike most mammals, the female is dominant and bigger. The female has more androgens than the male. This causes female to develope a pseudopenis. The dominant female generally has the biggest pseudopenis. Because of the female's unique anatomy, the male needs the female's cooperation to mate.

RE: Guard Dog anyone? *pics* they go cheap I hear...
That's why the male needs the female's full cooperation in mating.
Human society would be a lot different if we had an anatomy like the hyenas. All our leaders would be female. Lingerie would include an integral jockstrap. Guys would live their whole lives in fear of the larger females. Freud’s psychoanalysis books would a lot more complicated.

RE: Guard Dog anyone? *pics* they go cheap I hear...
That's really intresting. The female produces androgens that create both a visable pseudopenis and a larger body frame? The females in humans use testosterone which is a male androgen to produce larger bodies so it's logical that the females would produce pseudopenises but to call them FEMALE? Thats just as strange as the day is long that's all.

RE: Guard Dog anyone? *pics* they go cheap I hear...
Tosa Inus are very tough dogs and highly prized animals in Japan, but trust me I have owned Pit Bulls a LONG LONG time (I never have nor will I ever fight my dogs) but when you put up a top Pit Bull against the top what ever no matter the size difference the Pit will always win. There have been times when a 30lb Pit has taken down a full grown Bramha Bull will no problem. The thing that makes Pits great fighters is the fact that 1) they have a HUGE pain threshold and 2) they will never give up, in fact they will die before giving up. No way a Tosa would defeat a hyena. Weight diffence doesn't mean jack in a dog fight. Now a good Pit Bull would take care of a hyena no problem and in less than a 1/2 hr. Most dogs use intimadation to win before a fight starts, not the pit bull they go right at it. All this information is backed by readings and if anybody wants the proof let me know and I'll let you borrow my books to see for yourself.

RE: Guard Dog anyone? *pics* they go cheap I hear...
Even thought the females are masculinized by the androgens, they still have female gonads, make eggs and give birth. They also do the majority of care of the young.
In general in animals the female gets pregnant and gives birth. On of the strange exceptions to this rule is the seahorse and pipefish where the male gets pregnant and gives birth. The seahorse and pipefish are close relatives.

"Don't look that tough to me!"
I'm not doubting that guys knowledge of dogs, but I agree. It looks like a mix between a Shar-Pei and a Bloodhound.
All of my knowledge on different dog breeds is purely first-hand, so I'm sure others experiences will be different. I used to read water meters in a small city (20000) that included residential and rural areas. Almost all single dogs (single being the key word), regardless of breed or size (including pit bulls) may charge you, but will keep their distance if you yell at them angrily. A little show of force may also be required to stop them, like swinging at them. Not looking at them in the eye and slowly backing away never worked for me. And by the way, a sharp kick to the ribs if you're fast enough will take the fight out of any dog (have you ever had the wind knocked out of you during a fight?). Pound for pound, the little house dogs are the most ferocious (you want to talk about not giving up; those dogs are crazy!). Now of course a trained guard or attack dog is different. Thankfully I only had 2 run ins with those and the owners came out both times and called the dogs off me while we were "squaring off"; one case a pair of Rottweilers and the other a pair of Shepherds.
But any dogs courage and ferociousness will increase exponentially with the number of dogs it is with: the pack effect. When you see 2 or more dogs coming at you, act like you're throwing something at them to bide you a 1/2 second and run like crazy and hope there's a fence nearby you can jump over.
Then you add the wild animal factor. All things being equal, wild animals are meaner and tougher than tame ones. Take coyotes for instance. Basically a wild dog, right? But they're bigger and tougher than you think. You want to know why dogs don't last very long in the wild, including packs of wild dogs? Because coyotes kill them. Dogs are competition. I've been spooked several times while I was bow-hunting in a tree and had a pack of coyotes come running by. It's freaky cause they're so quiet and all of a sudden there's 10 of them all around you.
So I imagine that hyenas are even more dangerous, since they're bigger and more powerful and they are a pack animal. Now the argument over which single animal would win in a "fair" fight is kind of ridiculous to me. Put a man in a cage with a grizzly, grizzly wins. Put a man in grizzly country with the proper equipment and weapon, man wins. A lion vs a tiger? Probably tiger, but lions hunt in packs. Drop the biggest tiger in the world in a lion prides territory, and he's dead meat.
Anyway, just my thoughts. And yeah I agree, "crazy Nigerians."
