Just curious as to what happens in law ,if your dog does bite an intruder on private property .All very well having a guard dog but you need to know the consequences too .

I don't think it's been tested in court yet but in theory even with the changes to the DDA you should be fine if they were on your property unlawfully. Of course never say your dog is a guard dog, it's just a pet that lives in the yard

 

I'd think really carefully before getting a dog to guard dogs, if your dogs get out of the kennel will they try and fight the guard or vice versa? I used to keep bandogs to guard my bulldogs until one of my bulldogs got loose and decided he wanted to take on two 110lb bandogs came home to one very dead dog and two banged up bandogs. I personally won't use dogs to guard dogs after that.

I kept AB'S for 15yrs starting in the late 90s.If you get a good one they make a very good dog but unfortunately I'd go as far as saying 90% of what's being bred is pure shit with some kind of health or temperament issues.

I wouldn't use a dog to guard anything of any real value.A dog is OK to stop an opportunist gear head who thinks they're going to rob your shed or break in and nick your tele but if someone really wants something it only takes a handful of slug pellets in a lump of meat and your guard dog is dead I under an hour.

Obviously it's silly to rely on a dog alone but they have their place as part of a more comprehensive secruity set up

Wifes had 2 ,I reckon your 100 percent spot on, temperament is what should be considered not looks. Loads of twitchy Bulldogs around.

Same could be said with rotties as well I reckon.

Some of the spitz breeds as well make good guard dogs.

i think we have just been lucky with him to be honest and i doubt i would rush to get another one after he's gone.he's devoted to my kids.i think guard dogs are more of a deterrent than anything and the Mrs feels safe with him there so that's enough for me

Thats my yard dog kelpie x collie he's tough as old boots and has shifted a few unsavoury caracters from my yard at night on a more than a few occasions.

 

Also he cracks the whip work wise because if you stand still for to long he will p*ss in your welly.
