Best Guard Dog

[Shaddy93 840]

What's your preference of guard dogs,

I'd like one in the future when I move house again for a dog to guard my kennels aswell as the house so the dog must be able to cope with all weathers, be sound with dogs and good with kids, I love gsd's however my mrs is frit of them as she was attacked when she was younger by one, I like akitas my mate had one which would get up every half hour and walk the perimeter of his yard it knew its job it had always been around his mrs and kids etc but one day when I think it was around 6 years old his mrs walked through the door with the food shopping and the dog launched a brutal attack she ended up having to have plastic surgery and alsorts, no doubt about it if that was a kid the dog would of killed him, iv Hurd good stuff about kangals and Tibetan mastiffs too but Hurd they can both be unpredictable? It's finding a balance of a dog that knows it's job but is also 100% good with the family

Better off with a small noisy dog lets you know someone's about and not a liability around kids,seen a few big guard dogs on programs on the tv turn useless after the Police have squirted them with something .

I wouldn't let a kangal within a mile of my kids or any one I liked really

 

The sheer mass of these things would put me off it

 

The first time I saw one I'd been awake the best part of three days and as it loomed out the darkness, I thought I was hallucinating and a polar bear was walking towards me

 

They have that horrid , indifferent nature and I genuinely wouldn't fancy my chances at pulling one off a poor unintended victim

I've got two American bulldog cross pits,very serious dogs,live to guard,alright with visitors as long as they don't walk behind us.

More than what breed,I'd make sure it ain't from nervy types and you have the knowledge to handle a potentially dangerous dog, a dog that's in a yard and barks at strangers can become unstable should it get out alone .

Go and have a chat with someone who knows what there on about mate it's not really the breed you should be worried about its the atitude of individual dogs. I've 2 young Dutch herders and they are like chalk and cheese one would make a cracking yard dog the other would be shit but will bite no trouble if told.

 

If your after something just to watch your garden be careful with a Mali. there not really that sort of dog.ive seen a Tibetan mastiff the other day shit was not he word remember anything too big is a job to hold back sometimes and it's your responsibility to make sure the dog don't hurt no one its shouldn't.
