J.DOG 1,355 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Alright lads I will be after a guard/watch dog in the future for on the farm as we have alot of sheds/containers/kennels/equipment/vehicles ect , Im after a dog that will bark and alert me if anyone is knocking around but also is a visual deterant , I would love an American bull dog but the prices of such breeds are high so unsure what to do ? I can't afford to pay £600 for a dog that's bred from kc stuff and may not do the job I just want a dog from good parents (working /athletic) at dog man prices ? Any ideas I'm in Durham Cheers lads JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
