do you keep a guard dog

do you keep a guard dog at the lofts , if so what type ? I have 2 (CANE CORSO ) Italian mastiffs they weigh in at around 140 pounds each

I don't keep one at the lofts as such edgie, she lives in the house but has access to the main garden and can get over to the lofts if I open the middle gate......although I don't have anything worth pinching....

Yes we had our rottie at first then two jack Russells now only one as one died the couple of months ago

its no good here if an intruder thinks he can just jump back over the fence ,because these can clear a five bard gate

I got a collie shes good for keeping the garden clear of cats but people am not sure. She might help put everything in the van haha

with all these crazy dog laws we have now, I wouldn't want her to attack someone....her life is more important than some thieving scum bag, I think whoever devised the rules and regulations re the dangerous dogs act need to look into the situation more rather than making unfair decisions about something they obviously know nothing about...

agree david but if your dog can reach over the fence and bite someone then your in bother but if they come in where not wanted then the dog has done its job ? and that's ok

normally that would be the case edgie, but im not sure it still is......I know they changed the dangerous dog act a while ago, and any dog deemed a danger can be taken....I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but I think that's the case,

when you think about it, the police can use dangerous dogs, security firms can use dangerous dogs, but joe public cant have a "type" regarded as dangerous, even if it is a soft family pet.

also realised, zoo`s and circus`s can keep wild animals, and that's ok...but joe public cannot keep a "type" our government deep un acceptable......a government who incidently work for us, and are paid their wages by us......

anybody with an ounce of common wont attempt to come in here , unless invited the sheer size of these two puts them off . and that will do me

we got a staffy and the mrs

You cant beat a good Jack Russell Ray brilliant dogs

Have always had Jack Russell's good honest dogs

yes , the jack russels are good for keeping the 4 legged rodents away, as well as the 2 legged ones...

german shepherd, she looks the part but is soft as brush, still "they" don't know that.

always been a good deterrent a german shepard redrog, the look and the bark usually puts a would be intruder off...
