Seen and been offered lots over the last few years, That's without even looking. Seen them all, at all ages. It’ll just be a dog to bark guard the house, out buildings and land mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any personal experience with the boerboell or owning different guardian breeds?They're nice dogs but no better than any other well bred mastiff type and most over here are bred from generationf of nothing more than show dogs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Check out Doberman lurcher pups for sale on Gumtree. The black pups took my eye. Wouldn't gamble on their working ability though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know someone 20 plus yrs ago,who had a saluki grey bitch and his doberman dog got over it...he kept a dog called Boot back from the litter...the lad was a countryside ranger and the dog went everywhere with him,was a fast dog,and not shy on teeth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caught a few rabbits on the lamp, but she wasn't that fast or agile. He bred her to a saluki/grey x collie/grey, and kept two pups back, a dog and a bitch, both made reasonable allrounders. Just thinking back about this, it was 40 years ago!! Edited February 7, 2023 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
