not me personal as its a large dog and i dont do large dogs, my brother on the other hand has had loads, he gets them from the raf and armt dog handlers as rejects. all of which have had to put down before there tenth birthday because the hip bone has snapped from the ball jiont, the reason why they failed the dog medical due to hip scoring. almost all dogs , so called pure breeds are so badly interbreed the health issues are concentrated .
all of his dogs by the way were very very sharp some for the good and some for the worse the one was so sharp he worked out how to open fridges and ovens and how to help him self to the sunday roast in the freezer once. great animals
we have whippets a smaller dog for our sized family and they make brilliant gaurd dogs all you have to do is train them to bark when they hear someone at the front door or back garden.
drove the posty mad the one year as every time he came to the do he used to hear " hold on mate all most there" " woof ,come on you two woof, bad man at the dog its time to woof, come on woof, COME ON WOOF"
AS FOR DOGS THAT BITE, NO THANKS i have children in my house and if any dog even thought of doing some thing other than totaly realiable and gentle it would be gone in seconds,
and can i point out that if you know what your doing any gaurd dog can be stopped very quickly by a determind criminal
