My dog is not only an anti, I suspect him to be a communist as well. (hm.. I probably need food more than that other dog lets go take it)
Is anyone else's dog an anti?

Current shedding machine that barks and digs holes and howls at the dog satellite is a fraidy cat about guns.. but don't you go near his yard. He's a baying machine. Beagles are like that. He doesn't liek the noise guns make, slide racking etc. he's also nervous about bubble wrap.
I had a dog when i was a kid that we took shooting/camping all the time, she ran off/got lost once, when she came home she was terrified of guns. We think someone shot at her or shot her with a bb gun.. can't think of any other reason, as she was the kind of dog that loved the outdoors.
Also had a PRO gun dog. A springer named Bear.. if you picked up a gun case he literally would shake with anticipation... cuz that mean we were going hunting! He would get terribly depressed when we'd leave him at home and hunt elk for ten days. He even liked handguns! You'd get out the guns, even just to clean them and he'd sit by the door, eyeing us, like hey.. are we going? Then again i used to run him in a big drainage with a training dummy launcher /and or pheasent wing-covered baseball glove and starter pistol since he was a wee pup. He got used to the idea that BANG meant.. find that bird! (And he got the liver) He'd run ahead, turn around and chuff at you when there were no birds nbearby, but if birds were "in range" he'd stay inside your field of fire. He'd also sit still while we watched elk fight it out. He'd even come outside for fireworks. He was the BEST dog I ever had..
Get all misty eyed when I write about him.

I had my dog find me, he showed up one time when out calling coyotes. He almost got shot, but I knew that at time of the year, there were no coyote pups that small, and he came up to me crawling on his belly. Anyway, he never has been gunshy. When I shoot, he will lay down about 10 to 20 feet behind me and watch. If I don't go out to the stand to change tergets, he will get antsy and look at me like "when are you going to hit an animal so I can go get it and play with it. He is about 90% Australian shepard. Only things he is afraid of is vacuum cleaners. As long as someone doesn't attack me with a vacuum cleaner, he will protect me.
I had a beagle and a big fat sausage-lab. The beagle would wince at the sound of gunfire, but I don't think it really bothered him. The lab would think it was playtime because I was sitting on the ground shooting. She was always kinda dumb.
Now I have two cats. Neither of them have a clue what a gun is, and don't seem eager to learn. They're too busy being fat and chasing mayflies.

I had a rescue Westie afraid of a flashlight, let alone a gun, as I found out trying to get him out from under the bed (he pee'd straight in the air when I picked him up 
). He was also afraid of baseball caps and grass when I first got him. I can only assume that someone wearing a ball cap with a flashlight took him outside and beat him on the grass. Additionally, he was afraid of McD's burgers (smart dog), but only for the first half hour I had him. He wasn't afraid of possums, as his numerous scars attest, though.
