Nyx, our 2yo female, is a spitfire. We share a fence with two big black labs. One is sweet as pie, the other is a big barker. Our dogs have fence aggression (trying to break them of that nasty habit) and when the dogs are all out at the same time a barking war ensues. Nyx, who is 5.5lbs and tiny, ran out one day and heard the big dog barking. She beelined for the fence and HIT IT! She hit it so hard the lab, who probably has poops bigger than her, jumped back and stopped barking. She BOUNCED off the fence, splitting the wood, and then ran right back up to the fence and continued barking! She is NOT to be trifled with!

But, she can be such a lovey dog, she just stands her ground. Once, when her son, Bambu, growled at her, she turned and gave him a look. When he did it again, she turned so fast, rushed him, hit him hard enough to knock him over (he's 5lbs heavier), brushed her feet at him, and walked off. He didn't growl at her again! LOL!
