I know my weimaraner would rock in ringsport.

Why haven't i seen any weimaraners?

I HAVE seen Jack Russell dogs participate. But jack russells are commonly hardy little devilish dogs.

Hi Brianah yeah Weimaraners are beautiful I love those gray ghosts!!!

I actually found a guy that has very nice Rhodesian ridgebacks imported from Africa, he said they are very good at protection because they keep the breed pure to the old standards but i dont know, I do like them, kind of similar looking to Weimaraners I think

He does not have any trained for protection I think so is difficult to know if they would perform and I don't want to end up with a collection of dogs until I find the right one LOL.

Connie thanks a lot for the links really informative indeed!!!!!!

the other guy had some similar issues like me, he loves bully breeds like me lol
I really would be happy if my pit where a great protector because the breed is all i need in terms of behavior and strength, he does great with children he is big enough to be a deterrent to many and not that big that I can not put him in the back seat to travel in the car

If just could smuggle a couple of gsd protective genes in there would be perfect for me :P
for my house I would prefer a big dog in the yard maybe like a fila brazileiro so any would think twice before get into the yard lol but you know those dogs seems too aggressive with strangers so they cant leave the property which is ok to guard the house but not to have with you in the car

what can you said about dutch shepherds?, im not into shepherds but I like them a bit more than belgian or german shepherds.


about the will post also great, now i know what it takes and yeah I do need real protection, I live in a place where anything can happen so im willing to do changes to improve security, actually I train in Russian sambo which is a military combat system, just in case I have to engage in hand to hand combat but my wife is not, probably a dutchie would be great for her for the size maybe will be easy for her to take him everywhere im still looking for answers :P

thanks again.

Unless your wife is a very active person, do not get a Dutchie strictly for her Unlike most of the bully breeds, all shepherds need a ton of exercise. Now if you run in the morning along with training, that might be a plan! But you have to ask yourself - what do you do if you get a Dutchie and it's not the home protector you were looking for? I have a GSD/Mal cross that LOVES people. He's good at telling folks he's in the back yard, and if you didn't know him, you might think he would be threatening (and maybe in the right situation, he would) so he's a deterrent. But I don't think of him as a guard dog.

Best protector for your wife is concealed carry and shooting lessons. And I say that as respectfully as possible.

Weims!!! I hate the breed. I also couldn't care less about how "beautiful" a dog i own is. Sure, MY weim is a very big exception. She is very different from every other weims i have met. She also isnt as tall, or supposedly as "pretty" as the others.
Theres also a guy near me who has imported roadies!
Hes a conformation guy though. So i don't talk too much with him. We just don't have too much to chat about. And our conversations are very quiet.
A LOT of people say there dogs would be a great protection dog. Then they set up a "break in" or "fake assault" and the dogs are easily overwhelmed by the moment.
BUTTTT luckily a lot of robbers don't want to take that gamble. So just having a dog barking is a decent deterrent.
Do you hoard dogs?! Can i come join you?

I prefer self defense classes! They teach you how to take down armed grown men. And the classes are REALLY fun.

Ditto on the conceal carry!

I had a really nice Wiemaraner back in the 70s. he was as much a guard dog as he was a good bird dog.

I also earned a black Belt in Tae kwon Do back in the early 70s in addition to many specialized self defense classes.

Brianah
I'd be curious about how you would "take down armed and grown men" if that man was 8-10 ft away when he pulled the trigger.

Access to 1911 is a much faster response then 911 in particular since I'm just a nice old granpa now.

I do train tkd but if I lived in a place where violence against me was not just possible but LIKELY, I would want the extra long reach a gun gives. Close enough to touch is too close by far.

Back in the 70s? :O
My mother has her black belt in that too! Isnt that neat?!

Ten feet away? A gun may be help in that situation.
IF you had a chance to take it off safety... and aim... and shoot... Its much harder than it sounds.
But like i have been taught, and personal experience, MOST of the time especially with women, your going to get up close and personal with the "bad guy". With women most of the time its sexual assault. That doesn't occur at a distance.
What is this? Shooting a woman like that at a distance.
Unless your dealing with somebody confident with a gun, they are gonna get as close to you as possible.

You know a dog really is pretty neat too. I can send my dog into a room or area to make sure its clear before i step in.
Theres nothing like a dog
Loads of people have been shot or killed with own gun

Anyways, im ranting.
You have grandkids? Boys? girls?
