leethedog 3,071 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Saw this a couple of days back while doing some research into the subject of a family protection dog. As I know sweet F.A about them it looks like a trained and matched to need dog is the best root for myself https://www4.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/la/distano2.htm Edited May 18, 2017 by leethedog Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,166 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 We don't keep much at home now,...but,.. if I was to purchase a Guard dog,...it would be something like this....... Must say that this is VERY nice, robust, healthy looking animal. Almost has the look of a ACD about it. 3 Quote Link to post
C.green 3,231 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Had a bulldog x shepherd years ago very wise and loyal dog no one was coming in past this dog , it was a accidental mating a neighbours shepherd wandered into my mates yard , would definitely take another as a yard dogu should check out a dog from dublin called mosley on google type mrtruedogs all one word .i think he is dead now.woking bulldog x d shepard. cheers for that. iam not any good at putting up clips.lads might be also interested in best attacks knpv championships 2016.i will hopfully get to this yrs championships. What did you mean you'd avoid that shepherd on the last page? It looks like a nicely put together and strong animal to me. if he were a horse i would liken him too a very common half bred national hunt horse.if u look at any off thee ddr shepards i think their like chalk and cheese.thats just my opnion. They ain't that common stonewall. Maybe with its looks but not with its atitude ?? 1 Quote Link to post

ginger beard 4,652 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 i know ridgebacks are useless but when ratting on a farm with the farmer,2 came running around the side of the barn.couldn't really relax knowing they were around.just the sight of em is enough. Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 You do seem to get the occasional ridgeback that's very capable,them and Akitas seem to have retained a bit of bottle despite all the years of show breeding. Quote Link to post
ginger beard 4,652 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 never had a guard dog although my border was very,very protective of me but my personnal prefence would have to be a german shepard.they must be the best thats why the police/army and private places use them. Quote Link to post

Dead Eyes 681 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was looking after my friends bull pup for a few weeks. Lovely, lovely dog and he turned out to be plenty protective enough Had a real loud fella come to ask about tarmaccing my ramp at my work. He was running around all fine but once the guy was loud AND stamping the hardcore back into the ramp the pup took it as a threat and howled like only bulls do and went for him. Called him off and he was perfectly behaved again 1 Quote Link to post

But when they do decide to guard , with there drive /power /jaw they take hell of alot of stopping , seen a 36lb bitch who was bit like the above freindly , but if you went into his yard with out the owner , she would have you and , you be in trouble deff , great dogs in the right hands 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I've always loved the bull bloods,.... Back in the day,..everyone local went over to them,.in their pure bred form and as lurcher crosses... I chose to walk a different path and stuck to my Herders,..but the Bulls were great dogs,...still are.... Edited May 20, 2017 by Phil Lloyd 4 Quote Link to post

Most bulldogs are people dogs too but when they make up their mind to get something a 10 foot wall wouldn't stop them. 1 Quote Link to post

stonewall 1,913 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Him,..and his kin,..are not on a chain at night..... to really test if the dog is the real thing take him away from his yard have seen this done a few times.take him too a place he has never been before.stake him out on a long chain for about 40 mins on his own.get somebody too come back and start too put pressure on the dog from distance and work ur way up too the dog all the time increasing pressure.if he is still hopping off the chain to get to u within 5ft in my opnion hes the real deal.ive seen too many curl up at this stage.
