neems 2,406 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 @ bosun,ive got a nasty looking powerful dog,its not a guard though. if you actually test most dogs that act the part,you'll find out they arent,i'd be amazed to see any lurcher that was a genuine man stopper. That thing of mine dont just 'look' nasty neems... But lets face it, of all the breeds mentioned, why cant a lurcher be on par... because it has greyhound blood added... So my bull cross cant guard, my collie/bull type lurcher cant, Ray's half bred Ally Etc. Irrispective if you want a 'man stopper' or not, the point is, why go get yourself another dog to do the job the one you got could do... If you really need that much security buy a system or move fecking house! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 because the vast majority wont do it mate,trust me ive tried lots of different breeds lol get a mate to put a mask on and hide get the dog in defense (act scared) while on a walk,shout at each other,then get him to approach you aggressively,maybe while banging a stick on the floor. watch your dogs reaction. thats why i said either a yapper or a fully under control,trained,tried and tested dog.

Bosun11 537 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Done that neems and the same with him coming over the fence... And i seen that dogs reaction...!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 you must have a good one mate,my terrier yapped and lurcher tried to run away lol but in all honesty i must have tried this with 100s of different pet dogs and the vast majority either give out a stressed high pitched yap or just try to get out of there. terriers always yap,so if you want something to look after the yard they'll be better than any alarm imo.

perthshire keeper 1,237 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 to be honest, nobody wants to be bit by any dog, full stop. as a deterrent, even a failry small dog can be effective if a) it is noisey and it seems to be committed and by that i mean, it gives the impression that it really does want to bite. i've seen terriers in cars that i really would think twice about opening the door!! our milk man has a miniature jack russle now its 10 year old and its like venom at any passer-by! his van got brokeinto when he was doing a drop of so he got this little devel, it bounces of the window at you.....if it was lose in a yard i would make a quick get away! its all in the presance of the dog not size....i seen 2 members off hear while hunting in wales ward off a nasty looking and sounding white GSD in a farm yard with nothing but string words and balls of steel while i sat in the van 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
