@Mike Lee Sorry to hear about your pup my friend. It’s absolutely terrible losing a K9 and it will never get better regardless of what people say. The positive, and maybe the only good thing out of this, is that you’re obviously an awesome dog owner and will take what you’ve been through to pay it forward. 👍

@@demi2631 That's true.... but they're strong enough. I own a Dogue de bourdeaux also, who's much stronger than my Rotti, and while I love all my dogs, the Rottweiler as a breed has superior independent problem solving ability than many breeds much stronger than it (second only to German Shepherds) and that's the trade off I guess, to absolute strength. The Rottweiler has the best overall strengths with a strong personality.

@Martial Artist I have known a few Giant Schnauzers who did bite work. They really are no joke. Just a Bouvier with less hair. lol

[@MsWillowbayOrelse]

My mom's family bred Airedales. Which is another large terrier. Just like the Schnauzer the breed is written off as a foofoo dog. My families Airedales protected the ranch from bears, wolves, and rattlesnakes. They had a stud who was immune to rattlesnake venom because he had been bit so many times. They were tough as hell yet great with the family. They were also great at keeping the rats out of the horse feed.

[@slapdaddy4360]

Deshaud Brown I have a male , 3 yrs old , my first Boerboel after always owning GSD . Has never been on a chain , never in a kennel and we are fortunate to live in a wooded area , great to allow him off leash when we walk or hike . From what I have learned , this breed truly thrives being with family , a true part of our family dynamic . They say this breed has a sixth sense when it comes to knowing what their humans are thinking . This is a true statement . We noticed early on at even 8 weeks of age he would watch us , even when he didn’t know we were observing him . With side glances , through windows , when he would run ahead in the woods , he would often look back , while he pretended to be occupied with bones or toys he always had an eye on us . He learned so many words , signals with hands , tone of voices that he is very in tuned with us . Highly intelligent , protective without the aggression , and a few times with enough aggression for coyotes , Black bear etc.I have learned so much more even after owning dogs my entire life of over 40 some years thinking I knew it all . Good luck with your female .

@@TeteRecinos coming home from work late, had my dog with me, he was sleeping in back seat of the car, as i got into front seat to drive home, this guy blocked me from closing the car door, he was trying to shove me over into the passenger seat, he put his right hand on my shoulder, he was blocking the door with his body, my dog never barked or growled a warning, i was worried, but in a second of and instant, that guy let out a scream sounding like a woman, my dog got hold of his upper right arm, and i could hear a bone crunch, because of the high back seats dog, Prince couldn't hold him long, as his nose was between the front seat and window, the guy ran down an alley, Prince ran after him, and came back with the guys red plaid shirt in his mouth. I was so thankful to have my dog with me that night, we went in letting the people know about what happened, they had people to walk us out after that, a yellow bug Volkswagen that was parked next to my 69 T bird in the parking lot was gone, as it turns out it was that Bundy guy, since police back then didn't know what was going on between the different states, not many people knew about him even being around. He must have high tailed it out of my state, but still managed to go down to FL and kill 3 more girls, he wore a cast on his upper right arm, telling people a dog bit him, wish my dog would have got his throat instead of his arm.

[@jacksonneomusic]

LookingForTruth Choose a German Shepherd or a mutt

[@warmonger9100]

What I was told, and what I did, was to find a litter and sit with them. All the puppies, will chime and play with you. As the puppies tire, they will walk off and go to sleep. The one that starts with you, is matched to your energy level. Don't try and pick one because the dog will actually pick you. I went everyday and by the third day, my American Bulldog, had picked me.

Have a rottie named Cujo and hes a beast man. Very good with kids and wants attention all the time. Has a mean bark and a scary growl when the mailman stops by, dunno to what extent he'd take it to if anything would happen, but I wouldnt put it past him. Hes still very stubborn hes a year old and I'm no professional trainer. Grew up with the breed and I would recommend everyone to own a rottie as long as you're responsible and take care of it.

Doberman! Super smart and trainable, super fast and agile, extremely alert and loyal, with amazing REAL world protective instincts. That’s what they were bred for. Mine guards my recording studio and takes the job very seriously. As for bite force, let me say that if you were an intruder and my Dobe bit you on any limb, you’d never be the same after. I’ll never own any other breed, my Doberman exceeds every expectation I’ve ever had for a dog.

[@Mald031973]

Read up on them, they are number 1 guard dogs in my opinion. They guard in South Africa in terrible conditions and are known to ward off lions. Male Boerboels can reach 100KG, yet they have the agility, energy and speed of smaller dogs. They are insanely muscular for their weight and have less loose skin than most Mastiff breeds. I have owned many Mastiffs, but the Boerboel (African Mastiff) is by far my favorite! They have been the most loyal, easy to train, powerful and protective dogs i've owned. bowwowinsurance.com.au/dogs/dog-breeds/boerboel/ Beautiful dogs! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJaVh6F4gr52mLs

I've had many different breed's of dogs, and growing up we had all kinds of dog's...American Bulldog, Presa Canario, never had a Cane Corso, would like to some day, had a Doberman, 5 Rotti's, although not at the same time and all of them with a docked tail, can't get into the natural tail, sorry, lol, and I've had two Filas, had a Malinois, Dutch shepherd, German shepherd. I now have a Caucasian Sherpherd, but my all time favorite dog, #1 dog for Personal Protection, I've had about 12 in my life, the American Pit Bull Terrier. I went back to the Pit bull after messing around/fooling around with all these other breeds, lol. For a whole bunch of reasons I went back to the APBT, it's their tenacity, courage, drives, resilience, endurance, eagerness to please, the list goes on & on! I got a real nice red nose female right now, she has no fear of nothing, she has all the drives, everything, and I'm working her in PP. She's about 55 lbs, but it's not all about the size. Pit bulls are supposed to be naturally human friendly, but I made all mine easily bite on command, lol, and most of the one's I've had were not that friendly, it's how you train them, they train easily.
