I used to keep a Doberman Pinscher who was very good at barking & showing her fangs at the window, but extremely soft and loving once I'd let someone in.
One day a fellow knocked on the door (not a missionary - he'd come on his own!). The Dobie started barking and he asked me "Does he bite?"
"Only double-glazing salesmen," I joked looking fondly at my dog - then looked back to see that my visitor had taken to his heels... he WAS a double-glazing salesman!
Growing up on a steady stream of Magnum PI, I was convinced that Doberman Pinschers were the scariest dogs in the world. I probably would have been running along side your salesman.
Sometimes a dog's bark is worse than its bite.
