Need a guard dog?

[BlackC50]

I have a pit/basset mix that will lick anything to death...he has no pitbull aggression what so ever.

[Guest 614Streets]

About 8 years ago a friend of mine's grandfather bought one of these. It was only a puppy and the dog was ruthless, it tore both of my arms up trying to wrestle and nothing would stop its desire to be aggressive.

What was the over/under for you to work a cat into this thread?

Umm...I was arguing on the internet.

Never take in a dog which you are not prepared to maintain Alpha status against.

Yes, against. Every dog has it's day, meaning every dog will get the urge to vie for the A spot. When it does, you have to be prepared to defend your spot, this means inflicting pain (not neccesarily damage).

You have never met my lab/shepard mix. He has never growled at a person (excluding play growls doing tug of war and such). In his 17 and a half years, he has never once tried to be an alpha over a human. He is the alpha male over dogs, however.

I was just about to say, a 180lb dog is a small bear. I've seen English Mastiff's, which are huge, but for the most part they were docile. Though maybe it was just that particular dog.

 

I wouldnt be ok with socializing this kind of dog. Its obviously what needs to be done to make it socially acceptable but it would just seem like such a gamble everytime you take it out.

I hope you guys got your money ready for me to take. My friend just came over and petted my pitt and she pissed on the floor. I am goin to be rich...

 

In all seriousness that dog > any dog for that matter, but I will say that I have seen small dogs take out big dogs very easily just cause they are smaller and are able to grab ahold of the bigger dogs neck alot faster. Once they get ahold of the neck, they wont let go and the big dog just bleeds to death.

That doesn't mean he hasn't thought about it. They consider it, "Can I take control?" goes through the walnut brain. If the answer is "Fk no", then no, they don't try. These are good dogs.

That dog has so much hair, you better give your dog some scissors

Reviving, thought I'd post this link:

Turns out the shows producers singled out bad apples and showcased them on the show, and the show has had real consequences.

If I wanted a small bear I'd get a badger.
