I knew someone who had excellent bred pitbulls and was a heavy NATIONAL competitor in ADBA weight pulling. He had his 30 pitbulls sitting in a big fenced in area. Within that area all his dogs were individually kept in 10X10 kennels. He had another fence that went around all the kennels, still being enclosed by the outer perimeter 8ft tall razor wire fence, with two GSD's roving just inside the perimeter fence. He did this because when he just had the kennels his dogs were being stolen left and right. Joe smoe from the street could walk up and take any of his dogs with no problem and the dogs didn't even bark at the strangers. So out of 30 pitbulls this guy had, he could find one that would defend his property or had the potential so he had to go out and buy GSD's to do it.
Chris -
This is really a problem for many good pit breeders, on another forum I participate in there was a gentleman looking for a good protection dog for his pit bull kennel to prevent thefts....I sent him here. It sounds funny doesn't it, with all you hear in the dumb media. My K9 friend insists ya just can't beat a sheppard for this kind of job.......
If I couldn't work a Shepherd breed, I'd work a Rott or a Dobie. You can still find good Rott and Dobie breeders using traditional working stock. The Doberpunks don't shed as much as GSDs.
And you hit the nail on the head...I can't say I have EVER heard of a WORKING APBT breeder, but plenty GAME dog breeders. They are terrible guard dogs because they are game bred. What would advantage a Doberman or a Rott over a GSD for protection....just wondering?
Actually the guy I mentioned had a ppd line and a hunting line. Not sure if he still maintains the same size of kennel anymore, but he had some very good dogs.
I would recommend Southern Bulldogs in Richmond VA.
Its run by Jamie Long, and he has some of the best bulldogs anywhere. His dogs are natural guardians and are proven in a wide range of activites from manwork, catchwork, weight pull, and obediance.
His website is undergoing changes right now, but he's more than happy to answer questions and arrange a yard visit.

Sorry but any working dog breeder (protection work) that has their dogs chained to the ground with barrels for shelter is NOT a reputable breeder of a working dog.
I suggest you e-mail Jamie and ask him about his yard, as well as his dedication to the care of his dogs. I would wager a bet you'd then retract that statement.

Ok, letting your kid get in the crate and lay with the dog is just stupid, Pitbull, mal, GSD or any other dog. That is the dogs safe zone, their den in the big den, and their territory, and an incident waiting to happen just for a photo op of the "big softy pitbull who loves kids pic"

Chris, not to defend them ( because I think it's dumb also ), but there's about nine zillion kennels with pictures just like that - apparently to prove that their dogs are good with kids or some such nonsense.
And yes, it's shows a real lack of dog savvy to do that, but the people are doing it to sell dogs, period.
So it's kind of a Universal kennel website/ dumba*s trademark. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Guess I'll need to borrow someone's child to have their picture taken with Fetz for my website.
Anybody have an obnoxious nephew that I can borrow? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
