English mastiffs are a much older breed than St Bernard's.Cane corsos are really just a bandog of sorts bred down from Neos with f**k knows what else chucked in there.Out all the traditional mastiff breeds the Neos are the most naturally guardy with the English Mastiff coming a close second.Thats why Swinford used them all them years ago when he was creating his line of Bandogs

My daughters mum is from Scamps and Eastwoods

There's photos of my daughters gt granny in that book when they would stop at Darland banks in Gillingham years ago

Makes you wonder why they even bother going out to work when every one of them are a bare knuckle prizefighting champion and own the best match dog/trotting horse/fighting chicken in the country.You'd think they'd have no need to go out ripping off old grannies too.

Was no different round here back in the 80s early 90s XR2s 3s and RS turbos wernt safe.All our escort vans had dogleg or pepperpot alloys,Body kits and Recaros.My pals loved an XR4X4 Estate for a ram raid.I remember a big designer gear shop opening in Canterbury and not a week later we were all decked out in Joe Bloggs jeans and leather Nickleson puffers curtesy of the boys.And DT,KMX,TS,MTX would guarantee end up as a track bike if some poor f****r didn't keep it in their house overnight.

Not like the real ones who are absolutely amazing

Old Bill are always discriminating against the poor innocent travellers.Bloody racist it is.

Don't get me wrong I don't want this country being flooded by f**k knows who and some people will think that's rich as my bird is black but her parents came over as kids with her gr parents who came here from British colonies to work.Her father is still on the railway aged 72.Her and her sisters all have excellent careers.I don't mind anyone who's willing to work and pay into the system and embrace british ways.And to act like crime,robberies and drugs have only started happening since foreigners have arrived ilike some on here would have you believe is f**king ridiculous.Im surprised nobody's
-
But back in the day it was just good old British lads having a laugh same as the burglaries was just rascals having an earner.Since all these bloody foreigners and darkies turned up it's 3rd world crime.Completely different and unexceptable.

You said a shutzhund trainer which is a sport trainer.

Cant see why anyone would wanna go and surround themselves with a bunch of backward,Cruel c**ts all talking or should I say shouting complete bollocks
-
I've only ever been around 3 and they were all scatter brained with weak nerves.But then you cant expect much more from an out and out show breed

Have you owned many Ridgebacks?

As it should be.Any decent bred guardian breed if kept in the home and made part of the family so it sees you all as part of its pack should protect it pack and home naturally.Unless you're training for sport or may need a dog to bite someone on the out as part of your job.pp training or schutzhund/rings port training where you'll be training a dog using prey drive techniques can cause you more trouble than it's worth when your dog spots a jogger or someone waving a stick about and decides to chase them down the field and bite them.

Why spend a load of money on a sport trainer,The guy is after a home guardian not a dog to do long sends or bark at a decoy behind a blind

Don't be silly.The lads with digging Bedlingtons all belong to their own secret club where only they get to see them work

I'm surprised he ain't been on here giving his vast knowledge on what breeds BH needs even though he's never owned one

GSD are a good dog if you can get a goodun.The bandog/mastiff types suit me.Naturally territorial and protective,Generally not overly prey driven so easy to keep sound around livestock and other pets.And most importantly to me relaxed and quiet when there's no threat.All my neighbours have dogs a couple of them are right poxy yapping things but they all say if we hear Gypsy bark we get up and have a look because we know she's barking for a reason.I couldn't be doing with a dog that's barking at a car door shutting or someone talking 3 streets away.But as with anything else if you're gunna get
-
Exactly that,A dog is only a deterant to oppertunist scumbags.It aint gunna stop determined professionals.Always used to make me laugh the wannabe gangsters I'd see wanting to train ppl dogs to protect them against other naughty lads and I'd tell them"listen there's fellas I know of that if they're coming for you or something you have they're gunna make sure they bring something for that doggie met enough rough fells in my time that if they were coming for me I wouldn't be relying a dog to stop them.Mines there just to stop some little smack head robbing my shed or climbing in through a windo
-
Walking it with spaniels wouldn't be a problem.Same as I walked my old bandog bitch with my spaniels when I had them and with my daughters Dachshunds now.suggesting a corso but that would need just as much training.What I meant was a mastiff type shouldn't be walked with anything mastiff type/bull breed as if something did go pear shaped you couldn't control both.walking a mastiff with non dominant/protective breeds isn't so much of a problem
-
If I was going going to get another mastiff type after my old girl passes which in all honesty I doubt I will it would profitably be a female boerboel
-
Any dog should be a one man dog,why would you want a dog that will go to anyone?And any mastiff sized dog should be walked individually so that you have full control.And to be honest I've seen more mentally stable,confident,calm,and structually sound boerboels than I have can corsos,In fact I've never seen a corso that Id want as a gift.Id sooner try and locate a well bred bandog from tested parents as thats all a corso is anyway.A bandog of typs except most of them have never been tested at anything
-
And 9 times out of 10 you'll end up paying thousands for something that ain't what you'll be told it is.Theres more scamming/lieing twats selling dream dogs in that game than there is in the terrier/lurcher/gundog game.You never hear of any failures in that job.Theyre always advertised with cleverly shot videos of them biting sleeves to make them look good and just needing finishing touches.
-
No they're not.Theyre ok if you're out doing patrols for hours or doing sport training several times a week but for a home guardian they are way to hypo.Ive seen lads that train with their dogs and do security for a living get Mali pups and a few months later be pulling their hair out when theyve got something that's trashing their kennels,trashing their van and spends 20hrs a day barking at every little sound.

Ive kept guardian breeds and done personal protection traing for best part of 25+ years and Id say you don't need to go down the route of a fully trained pp dog.Youd be far better of getting a well bred pup of a breed known for being naturally territorial and protective of their family.Do all the stuff you've suggested with it so that it's confident in all situations and above all keep it in the house around yourself and your family so that it grows up wanting to protect your home not it's kennel.Going down the full on pp route is going to give you a headache
