[forest of dean redneck 11,633]

My uncle had a Pyrenean mountain dog in the 80s use to create Merry hell anyone came to his house .
Don’t seem to see them round so much now .

I'd go German shepherd but get a decent one , my mate has Caucasians and they are a liability they would not bite some one they would eat someone grate with his stock n kids tho  , our shepherd is very sensible and a good dog to have about the place mothers kids n lambs etc but don't let anyone in 

So whats a decent german Shepherd going to do?kindly ask them to leave or call 999

I menat not a sloped back show thing,  and my dog won't rush in and bite some one like my mates Caucasian would,  my bitch is very sensible as in won't bite the post man but makes a hell of a noise, and won't let him nr the kids , if post man went in my mates yard with the Caucasians it would be a different story

Maybe its just that your mate shouldnt be owning a guardian type breed of any type.

Sounds more like a liability than a guard dog.

And it lasted 7years? I live a couple of minutes from a german Shepherd breeder who was head of the Met police dog department and is still held in very high regard in German Shepherd circles.He said that the Czech line shepherds were too much even for the police when they tried them as they were wired more like a Mali which they also tried and gave up on.Seen so many lads get these super hypo working bred lines as guards or even security dogs for work and end up with massive problems as they just cant give them the constant stimulation they need.Its all very well watching YouTube vids of these dogs doing all the schutchund or mondio/ringsport routines but people have to realise that the dogs theyre watching are owned by serious handlers that are training day in day out with these dogs giving them the work they need rather than just sticking them behind a fence or keeping them in the back of a van and pulling them out for half an hour a day

Thought the point was to deter people getting in, not let them in and then bite them?

And I wasn't doing anything wrong when I got bit, just trying to drop a few bunnies to a farmer
