Blaze 49 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Just wanting a bit of info regarding "Guard Dogs"....What is the best type of dog to be used as a gaurd dog?.....It will be kept outside at home and its sole purpose will be to gaurd my kennels ect....The thing is i dont want to buy a pup and it turns out to be a right soft twat.....Iv heard "Rottwilers" once a sleep go into a very deep sleep and take some waking up?...They was my preffered choice but im not so sure now ....Any Info would be great as iv never kept any other dogs other than the running type! Thanks Edited to add.....Iv had pointers too Edited August 19, 2007 by Blaze Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Should think a GSD will be the best bet. Simoman will probably know abit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 if its only to scare away people, then any big dog would do the trick. GSD would be the easyest to live with? The biggest and meanest i ever saw was a mastiff x great dane..omg it would lick its lips when you just looked at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldskool Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 bbb has a good point... any big dog that will throw a bark should do the trick... hair standin on the neck seems to get mistaken for a cross dog when in actual fact its more scared of you than you are of it.... the big amstaff i had would have patrolled the yard with hair standin and frothan at the mouth.. he done the trick for years and never bit anybody.. although if someone tried to call his bluff and walked him into a corner then watch out!!! i found that out when i tested him with my mates motorbike helmet and his padded jacket he probably thought i was darth vader lol... IMO if you want the real deal get in touch with folk that specialise in guard work... at least the dog you will end up with wont bite people it shouldnt... even better is that if it puts up a good enough show it might not have to bite at all... the way things are in this country and with laws regarding tresspassing you dont want some thief hitting you for compensation because of stitches in his arm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hob&Jill 258 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Why would a american bulldog or bandog be better than a GSD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
