woz 260 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Are akitas good guard dogs Akita's are great dogs to have on a yard...if they bark its because there's a good reason...as for ppd they are limited.....there is problems with obiedience..and drive both sadly lacking in this breed...when I split up with my ex I left my old skits bitch as a family protection dog and she would and did protect the ex and kids..but as an on off sort of dog she was lacking.as a hunting dog she did very well and would happily kill anything with teeth...if you took her out to hunt she wouldn't entertain it....everything was on her terms...just like my bloody ex lol 1 Quote Link to post

malc1 544 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 That looks a beast very laid back easy to live with good with other dogs until provoked is it a alunt, or alunt x grey , there were bullmastiffs like that years ago, most were brindle, they were night dogs for the keeper. Most about 26in -90lb , not like the shit show stuff of today . Still say a good male gsd take some beating as a watch+ guard dog you seem to be an expert on gsds now bird like you was on bull x Quote Link to post

A lurcher just lurcher what ever the x ,but regards guard dogs gsd's are more sharper than bullmastiffs, and i would have thought you knew that from having had gsd's .? Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 We're on our 4th Ridgeback now, not for guarding, but as a pet. The 2 dogs we have had have been soppy as anything, but both the bitches have turned out to be excellent guard dogs. Quote Link to post

There was a lot of dodgy temperment abs being punted out of Newport ,they were cheap so getting bought easily enough,but a boarding kennel owner I spoke to would not have them in anymore as soon they went in the pen,they would switch to guard mode,and it was all he could do ,to change the food and water without getting bitten.
