Guest vin Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've had my share of burglars robbing my property as any of the lads on here who really know me will know. 3 times so far..plus my van emptied of all my worldly goods. Today i caught another little gang..3 blokes 2 cars ..who were looking at robbing my house..i caught them out and they left before they got to the point of kicking my door down like last time .. . I live in a area of town surrounded by some dodgy estates and my property seems to be on the hit list for all the local tea leafs..LOL. Anyway i could bleet on and on about how hard done to my family has been these last 2 years..but..thats life ! you got to get on with it.. So i was wondering if any of you chaps had any experience with guard dogs etc etc.. i could do with a rottweiller with a perminant rubber band tied round its bollox running up and down my drive and around my property..but thiefs would steal a pedigree dog round here..LOL So i need an ugly old donkey of a yard dog that no one would want to nick that will eat anything that comes onto my property ( beside me and my wife and child if poss ) more of a deterant than anything else. but something that would protect my home and family while im out. pitbull X grizzly bear would be nice. believe me lads..its shite going out of your house and worrying what your gonna be coming back to..its spoiling my sport.

fazza123 513 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'd personally go for a GSD or Malinois and get some proper training put into it. You'd own a dog that you would enjoy rather than a lunatic you couldn't trust, and I know which one would be the first to get hold of someone!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j1985 1,983 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Neo mastiff but not the show type, look for the biggest and roughest you can find!! One bark will have them running and there's no way they'd be able to lift one of those!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was trained by an army dog handling instructor. Once you get the basics into them they will work well. but you need to spend a lot of time getting the recall right or you might well end up in jail.!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have plenty of signs up, all the gates are padlocked so it would have to be forced entry and to be fair for a Rotty her recall is good..I have worked hard at it. I will take my chances with the law if we have a break in and we are not home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianh 83 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 alright vin, i do know a lad locally that needs to get rid of his akita, its a big dog, not good with other dogs tho, so have to ensure he is kept seperate. not my idea of a nice dog to have about, but no one would get in with him there for sure.

I will take my chances with the law if we have a break in and we are not home. I would rather take my chances with the police than any burglar.. i have gates/padlocks/alarms/sensors/cameras.. the more you try to protect what you have the more they see it as a challenge..i took my camreas down after the last break in becasue ploice said its an attractant to thiefs,looking like ive got something to protect..ffsake. trouble is one day i,ll end up hurting someone and then i,ll be in trouble...you cant win.
