Bosun11 537 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 He'd be much better off with an alarm system. Far cheaper and less hassle in the long term. Why anyone would want to keep, feed, exercise a dog to look after other dogs i cant fathom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftm 3,357 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I had an experience many years ago with some lowlife robbing stuff from back garden went looking for a good collie pup and came across a collie in pup [only used for cattle] farmer reassured me this bitch had the heart of a lion and was really good at guarding farm at night -pups were born me and mate got one each -farmer didn't lie lads these 2 pups turned into fantastic guard dogs but also great family pets they just knew when to become guard dogs and when not too -I trained mine [moss] to shake on command and it paid off one day as I took him to work with me [gardener] some tosser thought it was ok to pick up my blower and run with it - moss was told to "get him" and ran after the lad who swung a boot at moss -" shake it" was next command -I still have that blower lads lol 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they can retrieve they'd be the perfect all rounder lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,787 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 It can be a bit of six of one and half a dozen of the other. A lot of collies can be very unfriendly but it's often, as somebody above pointed out, because their kept on a chain with nothing to do. People are wary of my youngest kelpie as he's 22", pricked ears, black and tan and looks decidedly unfriendly...but looks can be deceptive and he's less likely to do you any harm than the gassy little affenpinscher in my neighbours' garden. Sometimes you want a dog which looks the part but other times you want one which makes a lot of noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 5,966 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 This collie twat of mine has a natural wariness of strangers and I'm fairly sure he'd back it up too, he was worse as a pup and I've discouraged a lot of it out of him. Nobody is getting him out of his pen if I'm not there though and he don't like people near the missus and kids either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 5,966 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 a bel mal there not as big as gsd , but very good guard dog but can be hyper , but gsd a easy dog to live with and great guard dog, they are on the big side but docile until they have to guard . the acd very good guard as well , like the gsd a one man dog so only take the family and that's about it I often see Malinois recommended as yard dogs but I don't agree with it TBH, these are serious working dogs that go mental without a real job to do, pacing around in a yard all day just doesn't cut it for them IMO. Collie or cattle dog would be a good fit, alert as anything, noisy and often quite likely to bite too. If he wants something that looks a bit more intimidating a EBT could do the job? Or what about a Kerry Blue? Knew a few nasty fecker Kerrys that were used as yard dogs back in the day... My old mam has a wee SBT/JRT thing as a watchdog, he may be little but he's a great alarm dog and if he gets the chance he's not one for letting go once he's got a hold of a scumbag. Collies will go mental sat about a fenced yard all day and all.. Waiting to go ballistic and nip intruders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,662 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 He'd be much better off with an alarm system. Far cheaper and less hassle in the long term. Why anyone would want to keep, feed, exercise a dog to look after other dogs i cant fathom. Couldnt agree more......whether it be guarding a house or animals.......technology is out there why rely on flesh and bone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
