You'll love this one then.
Buffy, our first Fila, had MASSIVE dignity. And held a grudge . . .
Someone in the trailer park next to us had a Jack Russell, and being a Jack Russell, he had to come check out the pasture next door and the dogs too. Of course, he lunged at Buffy, catching her off guard so that she started. Being a Fila, she didn't have any desire to hurt a small dog, so she just tried to avoid the Jack.
Charley thought it was funny and laughed at her and made fun of her - a mistake of biblical proportions! She couldn't abide being laughed at and she never forgave that Jack Russell for causing it, so she made his life much more interesting.
He loved to come over to the woods in the lower pasture and hunt with Bimmer, which was fine, as long as Buffy wasn't around. Embarrassing her, then getting caught in HER pasture was a terrible faux pas . . .
I was out in the pasture one day and I heard the unmistakeable thunder of Fila feet coming up behind me - FAST! I figured it was Bimmer and Buffy playing or chasing something, so I froze in place to avoid being trampled. When I turned to look, it was Buffy, all right, eyes gleaming with evil glee . . . that Jack Russell was about four inches in front of her, running for his life on those little short legs, feeling her hot breath on his butt . . .
There's not a doubt in my mind that she had no intention of actually hurting him, or that she could have caught him if she'd really wanted, but oh, I wish I had that on film! The expression on those two dogs' faces! That is the only time in my life I've ever seen fear on the face of a Terrier!
