Personal protection Lurchers?


Recommended Posts

if you wanted a lurcher for protection purposes then its gotta be the gsdxgrey, but like whats been said, youd need more than a dog to stop a determined man, and the only dog i d back against a fella is the pit, as for teaching a lurcher to bite on command, well you wouldnt get a lurcher if thats what you wanted it to do, youd get one of the more common breeds specifically bred for this purpose, lurchers are bred to run not bite, even though you do get the odd case of a crazy one!

 

 

Nobody likes getting bitten by a dog of any size i dont care who you are. Ive seen small malinios bite with such force if you didnt know what you were doing you'd be on your arse.

So your ruling out dogs like American bulldog, Presa, Dogo, Boerboel, Rottie over a dog bred to be people friendly like the pitbull ? Which is also very small in comparison the above breeds.

 

A pit of 40lb (most people could pick up) locked onto my arm is much more appealing than a 90lb bull breed/mastiff which can quite easily take you clean off your feet and kill you quickly.

ah right im with ya now, thats just my personel point of view, because there aint no other dog out there with the drive, determination and pain threshold of a pit, simple, and would the malinois go back after a few digs??? probably not, would the pit keep at it ???? oh yes definately yes :thumbs:

yes , had one though i dont know how or if this was trained into him , he would also bite anyone he didnt know who tried taking him out his kennel

i bought the dog as an adult dog so not a clue how it came to be like this

 

he was a ridgeback x greyhound

 

Well I've got a ridgeback x greyhound and it is soft as shit! Reckon if anyone broke in it would show them round the place for a biscuit and a pat. :laugh: :laugh:

 

However I have a Saluki bitch who has the guarding instinct of a doberman. No one would get past her. She hasn't bitten anyone but I wouldn't like to test that she wouldn't. However the sight of her launching at the door with bared teeth I am sure would put off any would be burglar! :laugh:

You can train any dog but like said its wether they actually have the minerals to not flap it and run when the going gets tough!

We're not talking heavy pressure work, we're talking Lurchers. Saying that I know of a man that has a 90lb 1/2 x Bull/Greyhound and that likes the sleeve and I'm sure that would take some stopping :D

 

A dog that bites a sleeve isn't a pp dog, a pp dog is one that can take heavy pressure. Otherwise its just a sport dog.

 

 

 

abselutly i,ve seen very good sch dogs put under real pressure and they have run for the hills thems sports dogs not manstoppers

 

And I've seen men that would run a mile if a Russell were to come at them :laugh:.

I Think we're hamming this up a bit. It is going to be a rare exception where you are going to be confronted by a 18 stone man that wants to kill your dog to get to you. You've got to remember that most humans will back down if confronted by a medium to large dog.

Even a good sized Malinios only weighs about 70ish pounds. And an18 stone man with a quick and accurate kick would be able to stop it, doesn't stop them from being top PPD's though does it?

 

not going to argue mate but when I have to stop lads in the middle of the night I want to be damned sure the dog at my side will do the job should he need to, most times i'm on my own help is a long way off and sure as f**k I aint calling plod so the question is would you approach a gang of blokes with a dog that tbh you just aint sure will do the do

 

I'm not arguing, I think it's a waisted action.

If I were to approach a gang of blokes (I don't know why I would) I wouldn't just take the dog, simple.

And why would you have to stop lads in the middle of the night?

 

 

I'm a keeper and that be when the lads go out poaching and taking anything other than a dog with you is plain daft
