They make a lot of noise but pose hardly any threat.
It’s all about the sound coming from behind the door, because not everyone from Targówek (referring to the aforementioned Balcerk) can judge, from the barking alone, the size and murderous intent of the dog standing behind the door. Although size isn’t everything. An American Pit Bull Terrier, for example, isn’t a large dog (around 40 cm at the withers, weighing a dozen or so kilograms), yet it’s listed in Poland as a dangerous breed – and for good reason – meaning an administrative licence is required to own one. The Tosa Inu, on the other hand, hardly barks at all and waits motionless for an uninvited guest.
