Millet 4,497 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just get a collie or a lurcher with collie in it..they are fooking nut's.. ..i have one here with a bit of collie in it and i would pay good money to see anyone get in my car while she is there.. ..she is also a good gaurd in the house and she can hear a flea fart from 100 yard's away and barks the place down when any one walk's past or comes in the garden..plus if you choose this cross you have the added bonus of catching stuff with it.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 3,021 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 As millit says get yourself a collie...proper b*****ds,they make hell of a din and bite aswell. i used to keep a lot of good.. naa.. extremely good chicken and i was ok till a bunch of no good b*****ds set up camp near by,they pesterd the life outa me, i did everything possible to deter them but they nailed me 3 times. so i bought a neo/cross a hell of a brute which would bite for fun....they tied the b*****d up (like a hangman) and stole again,how the fook they got a noose around his neck ill never know. imo the best guard dog is a shy biter....

Hob&Jill 258 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Would be a German Shepard for me, can't see the advantage of any other guard breed over a gsd. Should be easier to find a decent working bred dog too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 12...3 1 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 A neighbouring farm to us was having a lot of problems, there red diesel tank got drained two or three times and various other bits got lifted. Funny how we're only a bit further on yet we've not had the same problem. I really do believe that they do work and if you get the right sought it'll pay for its self. Weve always had dogs in the yard over the years, when I was a kid my dad used to have German shepherds, great for making lots of noise if someone's about, that's about as much as I can remember but they must be good with how popular they are. We also had a Rhodesian ridgeback, very independent, very good guard dog, unfortunately it had to be put down at only 3 years old. So he was replaced by a boerboel, what a beast! Unreal guarding ability, and in my opinion the best dog we've had, hopefully get a second one in the new year. To cut a very long story short our neighbour contacted the local police and now is the owner of two retired police German shepherds, also they were free so if that's not working mans money then what is,lol Hope this helps j.dog ATB 12...3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I have a Weimaraner that sleeps in her crate at the patio doors so she can see out over the garden at night. If anything comes near she goes fcukin nuts. I pity anyone that tries to climb in my windows at night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
