neems 2,406 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 i'd do some research find someone who trains pp/security dogs nearby and ask there advice on breeders and train your pup with them. probably not the cheapest route,but at least you'll know your dog will defend you/your property and more importantly be under your control. I couldn't imagine anything worse than having a dog of mine attacking an innocent person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willum 89 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 My neighbour had a ex police dog a brute gsd me grandad had them over 40 Years ( dog handler in the army )and got turned down on this perticular dog as they said it would be to much for him and ended up at my retard neighbours with in 3 weeks it was out of control leaping out of windows a walkers by chasing anyone that came with 10 ft of the front gate and they the police didn't want it back either in the end it was pts as it was a liability shame really as it was a stunning dog and good at its job just a shit owner . There's a lot to be said over a good gsd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

j1985 1,984 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just because a dog looks scary and can bark doesn't make it hard, seen dogs you would take a half mile berth of that when pressured crumble and run off. At the end of the day if your dog isn't from the right stock, trained and tested in real life scenarios then you will never know if its gotte mineral or not, an you certainly can't tell if it has because it barks and "acts" aggressive. Not gonna tell you what breed to get as theres plenty to fit the bill of a yard dog, just do as you would a lurcher and get a pup from dogs doing the job and half the battles won.

The 12...3 1 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I do agree with j1985 in that a dog can look like it might take your arm off but if someone does test it and it turns out not to be the mustard then you wasted your time, pick the right breeder, which should put you in good stead for a great guard dog. Our boerboel is definitely the one I'd choose as he is very good around the family, with kids, also good around stock. The ridgeback we had, like I said in my previous post was very independent and just wasn't 100% trustworthy around family, and in the end that was his downfall. Do the research and it will pay off, remember a good dog/dogs is a lot cheaper than a new quad,tank of diesel etc. ATB The 12...3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
