I’ve since found out that it was three masked males of foreign origins who ransacked it leaving once disturbed by my neighbour. I’ve basically got no information from the police at this time and don’t really want to discuss any further details before I’ve spoken to them when we return. However, in line with other security improvements Im seriously considering now taking on a dog for personal/family protection. My single biggest concern right now is how do I prevent and mitigate a home invasion by a mob of men from god knows what shithole if god forbid my partner and our 9 month old son are home alone… I have to travel with work, 3-4 weeks ago I was in Stockholm for a week and will be travelling again shortly. I have an office/home based 9-5 and the dog would be kennelled/in the yard with my others at this time. The dog would be a complete all rounder, accompanying me stalking, running pens out, dogging in, forestry work but none of that is my job just to be clear. Got to be sound with the spaniels and around friends so needs to have a well balanced head. Also preferably of a smaller type but function here is priority. When I’m away this thing will live in the house and I need it to give my family a fighting chance. Now, I’ve admired Dutch herders for a while but also like smaller type stamp of GSD. Got an ex keeper mate that has a very sensible male Mali and another keeper mate that has several GSDs. But looking for wider advice. PS. I realise that we were probably targeted because we were known to be out of the house which of course reduces the risk. However a mob of masked foreigners invading my home is next level for me so I’m treating how I handle it as such. If you are looking to get a man stopping house dog, then your Misses needs to know dogs well. She would need to how to rear them around your children and make the dog part of the children's life. The dog must love those children and then you'll have a real family guardian. There is loads of good dogs out there if you're prepared to look and you know what you are looking for.

gnasher16 31,602 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Sorry to hear about your issues but i certainly wouldnt be putting my trust in flesh and bone.....maybe a yappy watch dog type has its place as part of home security but a professionally installed security system as high as your budget allows is going to give you the peace of mind you're looking for.....once installed and explained,learn about it,understand it,master it....until monitoring and controlling it is second nature. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 51,174 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I know I will get the onslaught of “I had X dangerous type of dog that would rip a man to shreds but my kids slept in the cot with it” type responses but I just think it’s ludicrous to think any dog that you would want for man work and that had a man aggressive side is also the dog to lay next to your 3 year old on the sofa !…….may as well leave a loaded gun laying around ! There’s a massive difference between the part feral scrapyard dog to the family pet……I have no doubt I wouldn’t get out the car on yards of sporting or half feral scrapyard type scenario dogs…….but that ain’t what you are having in your house if you have even a modicum of sense is it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
