My betting is it barks and growls and that's generally enough. If a barking, growling bull breed isn't enough to stop them then I doubt much will. Quote Link to post

storm14 1 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Read a few posts on peoples views of best guard dogs, I personally like rottweilers best, does anybody have a proven stud dog in the Yorkshire area? or do U know of any litter currently about? not rottie mate, but seen a Bel Mali, the other day a bloke trains them for the cops, not over big 26 in 70 odd lb, but bloody hell very full on+very strong pull bloke down easy, Spoke the fella , and said power when it hits the sleeve, if on the street would feck your arm real bad. Very good guard prob better than a gsd . i have a gsd and a mali the mali has twice the drive of the gsd but its very easy to over cook them. Quote Link to post

staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 My lurchers and terriers all seem to be good guards but hopefully won't ever know if they would act out if it. came down to it Quote Link to post
THLpatrick 555 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 its not a guard dog to a high standard just your average dog that will guard i guess does a few little tricks that are decent enough to put you off, ramming the gate back and forth is one but i know hes playing about with me as i know him barking and snarling when needed all you need in many cases Quote Link to post

hubbs 178 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just out of interest how much bull can you get away with in a dog before its classed as a pit bull type ?? Quote Link to post
DogMagic 461 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Heres my lad. He is a Yoruk, a livestock guardian breed from the middle east. In afganistan etc they protect herds of goats against wolves and bears. He loves us and the lurchers and even the ferrets but goes apeshit whenever someone (or something) approaches the property. Heres a couple of videos of the breed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNlQe2Iq-NI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvRCfdWvNuk 3 Quote Link to post
