Guard Dog

Post by **stockmktgenius** » March 28, 2007, 12:25 pm

My wife's parents have a new place and I'm looking for a guard dog to protect the place. Where can I find one and what kind of dog would get along with old people and still be scary to potential robbers? I've heard many times robbers poison dogs, so we need a dog who will eat only out of the bowl, not eat food provided by robbers.

Alternatively, her brother has a dog who's one year old (not sure what kind but fairly big). Perhaps we could have him trained as a guard dog. Right now he eats all the shoes left in front of house and so I guess needs training for that too. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. [email protected]

I believe all you need is a small house dog that is alert to new sounds around the house.Our little Shih Tzu serves that purpose and alot more!

German Shepherds are renound the world over for there guarding abilities and are so inteligent that they learn very quickly. They also love there owners big and small, but have an inbuilt mis trust of all strangers.

Beware of robbers that come equipped with bowl and poisioned food.

There has already been a lengthy discussion on this subject. I'm sure someone will post a link.

I will have some American Pit Bull puppies shortly they are very good Guard dogs my male dog is about 75 lbs and my female is around 45 lbs but they have very good temperment but not with strangers if your not around they have a natural guard dog mentality that does'nt need to be trained after 6 months you will see the change in them they are great pets and very loyal

You could also consider a Bangkeaw, ours is a good family dog, but distrustful of strangers. I understand that they are often trained as guard dogs
