Nothing inperticular , I don’t need a dog of the sort of caliber that these lads are talking about , the original post is about guard dogs , any dog that barks and alerts me that there is someone around is good enough for me if they can wake me up or alert me that there someone there I’ll do the rest , and if I’m not there and someone came snooping about then it doesn’t really matter what dog I got if they want it bad enough they will get it . Seen collie /lurches/ mongrels / terriers dogs not let people in gardens and who would bite if someone did .

Not being smart,this is probably all you need.She's the best watchdog I've got and alerts the bulldogs,also lets you know if snakes are about without getting bitten,costs nothing to keep.No one is going to sneak up on you.I always thought all you need is a chihuauhua and a shotgun and you'll sleep soundly anywhere.

Totally get what your saying, years ago after the rotty went ,and guard dogs were getting bad press, we got a Lhasa apso great little watch dog as that’s what they were used for years ago if you believed their history.

my son got a jackx chihuauhua  (woody) ive spoke of him before ,he prob about 90%jack rest chihuauhua, only small 10lb in weight, but bloody hell, he great watch dog. he let you know ho about, and for me thats great as i am hard of hearing . put him with any other breed he deff  encourage it guard, he does when my sons leavs him here for week or so when away etc, once woody barks Buck and bryn have a go. i can see him helping your pitxabds guarding with his sharpness .

They are like little alarm clocks for the big dogs.I think mine have come to rely on their warning bark.Their ears are like radars.They only bark to warn you of something,not constant yappers, like people say.I'll always have one.I've got a few different dogs but they all earn their keep.

Went to a site today and was greeted by a bloody huge black dog , which tried to bite me through the open window of my truck , the owner made nothing of it and said he is ok just excitable . When i got out it stood its ground and barked constantly . When i asked what it was the owner said it was a Labrador x Pyrenees mountain and was only 10 months . If a guard dog is meant to make people think twice this one done a good job and certainly let people know that someone was about....... b*****d even tried to piss on me

it bit hard from a pic really, but the dogs seems to have thrown more to the bulldog than the mastiff,on paper the breed is suppose to be 60%mastiff,and 40%bulldog. dont mean jack shit regards as guard dog. but if you look at the of 1930, they not as heavy or to much bulldog in them. few will know i had this breed and other bullbreeds,(staffs,pit) around the 60s and 80s, my male bullmastiff  great  type for this breed, he was big dog but very well put together. i got the best male  bullmastiff at crufts 1985 , and won best bullmastiff at the LKA show, just before crufts. i came out of the breed, because of all the health probs =HD, elbow,probs,and not long lived.only got in lurchers  at 1st as wanted a fit healthy type dog, then started to work them there after.i like the BOERBOEL but there far to big and heavy, to what they started out with there fooked bad hips etc no good being 12-14st dog , my vet told me years ago that, when dogs get over 100 lb, they become very unsound , the bullmastiff of old was as ive said 80-100lb dogs, this is where they got the name as guard dogs , your prob better of getting if you want the  bull type guards a bandog , but still think well bred gsd from working lines  dog about 80lb stop most  people , and let you know who about as well .

Interesting that bird, your vet saying about the weight. My mother and her ex partner had an English mastiff that died from some sort of blood cancer at 7 years of age, about 15 years ago. Vet said that wasn't a bad age for them, as they're too big and suffer with quite a few complaints etc, compared to what they used to be like. The thing was enormous, I'm sure she said 30" tts and over 12 stone. I never measured or weighed it lol, but it was taller than most greyhound dogs, and looked practically treble the size.

I know you said bullmastiff, not english mastiff, but I'm just confirming really what you say about these breeds

A lad I knew had an English mastiff in the 90's, he was 30 inch tall, don't know about weight but he was a big lump, one day a fella walked past us with a Doberman and the mastiff nearly put them all through the tall wooden fence as he exploded to get hold of the doberman, didn't they call them keeper of the thief as they stand at the door and won't let you out, I remember this dog blocking the passage when I tried to leave, and he'd watch you, but had a nice calm temperament about him
