Yea I have no plans of doing any man work / protection work with it , just something that's ok with my family but something that can actually hold its own when it needs too , seen plenty of dogs that stand there barking foaming at the mouth looking the part but soon as someone jumps the fence they skirt round in circles barking lol And no I won't be sticking it on visitors or friends as I know that's how accidents happen , can't be sticking it on mates for a laugh then moan when it grabs hold 1 my mates / visitors after , To be fair tho when had dogs that live in the house befor I tend to put them in the kitchen out the way when visitors come round but when it's family there they have run the house , I'll have a look at something mastiff baseline , cheers Quote Link to post
