littlefish 587 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Most dogs will be territorial about their house, car, or 'yard', whatever the breed. The fact that they are a 'big' breed, like Akita, Ridgeback, GSD just make them more intimidating.........now think of all the wee snipey, nasty collies, JRTs, spaniels and whatever......guarding whatever they regard as 'theirs'..........every bit as determined and full of balls........ are they bred to do that?......no, they just do it cos they are dogs and they are guarding what is 'theirs'!

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Off topic slightly........ I had a mate, long long time ago, late eighties. Anyhow, he was a young lad still at school but always came out when he could with the dogs ferrets etc. we encouraged it obviously, rabbit carriers aren't easy to come by anyhow, his family pet was a 7 year old lurcher, deerhound cross, cracking looking dog. It was never used for hunting, just a big pet. Fed on tinned dog food etc. his mother left no illusion that this dog wasn't to be worked or else. So we never did couldn't resist one day we took it a walk (he wasnt allowed to even walk it with us) ended up on some good land. Hare got up, dog off lead, was on it in a flash, we were all gobsmacked watching this daft pet course this hare like a pro. It flecked it a few times then nailed it. After that we sneaked it out as often as possible, it was a natural...... It only had a short hunting career of 6 months but was out regular and in that time, I seem it catch more than it lost. I fekin doubt this story very much !! No way did you have a mate ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,731 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Our lass has a Cocker X Poodle, dont laugh yet, i,v had it ratting, it bushes better than alot of terriers or spaniels i,v seen [very controlable] and swims like a fish, belive it or not it will even go to ground if given the chance as shes only small. its not a bad gaurd in the house at night too and Its been bred out of dogs that have never worked as far as i know, it just goes to show that if you put a dog in the right situation with the right encouagement and the right companion anything is possible, this little bitch will serve me well over the coming years i hope, now you can take the piss , buster. What's it look like,seen a choc brown cocker x poodle couple times round here looked a canny dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,637 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Can someone tell me what an aggressive yard dog has to do with work?.....or why they think such an animal would be any good for work? What work?.....what has being aggressive got to do with it? All the best workers I have ever seen were not aggressive in the slightest, good with people, kids and other dogs? Absolute buffoons talk !! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This one,s a ginger/blond thing, about the size of a small working cocker bitch,looks like a beddy when she,s wet, which is most of the time, i,v got picks on my phone of it catching a rat and coming out of a earth, if i knew how to post pics they,d be on, our lass would kill me though, worst thing about her is her coat, it picks up everything but apart from that she,s usefull, buster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wxm 1,638 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 ???? what a shit thread!!!! I'm not sure what the original poster was trying to get at, but akitas are nasty...big news! ridgebacks bark....big news! a ridgeback sniffs out a few rabbits? bit fookin deal, trust me...that's not what they were bred for!!!!! there are show lakelands and russells?? and????? there are show bedlingtons aswell? do they have any relevance to the working bedlingtons? no! simple as that. This has to be the most pointless thread on here, and that's saying something!! challenge accepted :D 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyMc 143 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Never seen a pet bred dog any good when it comes too work. But seen a few and owned two aggressive(towards people and dogs)working bred dogs do the job,and do it well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
