Dobe,
I think you tried to say : They are not in the street , they are in the woods , they are big , bad , strong and hairy. Not " There not in the street, there in the woods , there are big , bad , strong and hairy ".
This is bad spelling my friend! Please learn to spell correctly and then come and play with others.
I`m not going to start this kind of fight here. This is the first time I post looking for information and didn`t expect this kind of behavior.
Again , don`t want to start computer fights so you`ll be totally ignored , despite : " there not in the street " and other stuff like this.
Have a good one

As for taking down a body builder with a GSD, I am not sure how often the bad guy will be a body builder. More often you will find a "bad guy" on crack or pcp that is average size but has the
strength of several men and has no regard
for his life or others
To me they are alot more dangerous than a body builder. Sometimes just the presence of a K9 will diffuse the situation. several months ago one such bad guy decided he could take on a K9. He tried fighting the K9 but ended up losing the battle and needing 121 stiches. The K9 was hurt slightly but was back on duty a week later. The K9 allowed the officers the time and distraction needed to subdue the man. The K9 was hit several times with a brick and a 2x4 board, yet he never hesitated in completing his mission.

Tiago,
I recently read about a policedog in Norway who send a bodybuilder to the hospital. This man tried to fight the dog with a hammer instead of give up, this only resulted in 20 stitches on the man and zero damage to the dog. I guess it could be the other way if the dog are unlucky. Buts let face it 99,9 % of the persons you find are not going to take a fight with a serious dog. Besides civilians often doesn´t are in this position when they meet many bad guys. It´s differnt with the police who often meets crazy guys in their job. If you don´t live in a very dangerous enviroment, like the barrios in L.A, the chance that your dog has to prove himself is very small.
Regards

Tiago,
Ed said somewhere on this site that if a man will go throw a barking dog then he needs to be stopped by a gun or the police. As far as scaring people away nothing beats a dobe, or a rottweiler <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> . Sorry GSD people, your dogs just remind people of rin-tin-tin, but a rott or dobe will keep people away.
Robert

Sorry right back in your face, wizmz... I personally don't care how much my GSDs (or my friends') remind you or anyone else of Rin-Tin-Tin.
Just try to walk through them sometime.
Good luck, friend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This thread is creeping into the stupid zone.
There are many GSDs that would never lose a fight with a man. Same goes for some other breeds. I weigh 230 and I wouldn't want to try to fight a good PSD or a PPD. That would suck. . .
You can lump GSDs, Mals, Dopies, Rottwhiners, Dutch Shepherds, Giants, and BRTs( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ) all into the same catagory. What you need to do is find the best possible dog and get the best possible training. If you do that your mutt shouldn't have a problem, even with the big ones. This isn't very popular, but all the good working breeds are about the same if you are talking about man stopping power. The rest is personal choice and availability.
And that is one thing that the GSD has over most of the other breeds. There are a lot more working line GSDs in this country than any of the others.
Pete, nice. . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Your right I wouldn't try to walk through your GSD, but if you ever walked a Dobe then you know what I talking about when people are scared of them. I would say after Pitts, Rotts and Dobes have they worste reputation. I was just thinking if the guy wanted a guard dog just get a dobe or rott because they keep 99% of the people away. Having a dog trained to be a guard dog is a huge liability.
VanCamp you only weight 230. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Wuss <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I weight 305, and played D1 football 2 years ago <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Ahh, the good ole' days...

Wismz,
The episode Ed talked about is referring to a female GSD. I don`t remember the exact words but were more or less that you can have a female as watch dog. I think it was regarding people not being able to handle a strong working male. So a female barking through a window would be also a good choice .
I think that a good male GSD would be a nightmare for any intruder. These dogs were bred for very difficult tasks such as border patrol and don`t forget that in border patrol work you certainly find strong bad guys that want to accomplish their mission. I think that a barking dog wouldn`t be enough to protect its handler.
But , since , I`m only doing my homework I decided to start this thread because there experient people here that may enlighten us.
Thanks and best regards
Tiago Fontes
