you dont want a human killer but it is for security.

madam use your fine booobs
think of what he'll do to those maurauding thieves when he's released around the compound by 9pm.

you go just deh bed inside house deh enjoy their moans as pit gives the thieves bl.ow.j.ob

Caucasian. They have the barking capacity of a German shepherd, the agility of a boarboel and the strength of a bull mastif. They don't take bullshit.

You want a security dog?

German Shepherd all day!!!Everyday!!!

...gsd have good instinct and reflex,however, they r too weak for my liking,will go with heavier/larger breeds all day,especially the very agile/active one...all in all,you can only dermine which is best used as a guard dog based on its temperament,as you could have dogs of the same breed,but of extreme temprament(docile and aggressive).

True word!

I have a pitbull for its killer instinct

A doberman for its agility and also barking instinct

A Caucasian for its size and barking

lol depends on the GSD , If you need a well balanced and a dog that would guard you and your compound instinctively, a GSD is your best bet everyday

GSDs are too weak?

And they get sick alot,always visiting the vet.

Look as an experienced dog owner I will tell you to go for Bullmastif. Caucasian can double as a pet and security but grooming is not for beginners. But with the mastiff you have all in one. Friendly to the children and aggressive to strange looking adults. Thank me later.

....yes madam..i have boerboels,and i have seen first hand what this breed can do to the likes of alsatians....aint no match...it like comparing a bmw and toyota..just my take...

This is the first time I'm hearing this .

the dogs yu listed are all good for security so it all boils down to preference and which one will suit yu. GSDs are intelligent, smart, easy to train and have enough fuel in the tank(energy) compared to the others yu mentioned, grooming should not be a problem, they tend to bark a lot especially if bored and are not heavy eaters (pls take note GSDs are not weak those people saying GSDs are weak have not seen a real GSD I mean real not all these fake in naija diluted GSD they are very versatile and they work in airports, military, police, security etc just name it) . boerboels are my favorite I call them gentle giants their size alone is enough to scare an intruder they are intelligent, easy to train, calm, moderate energy levels, prone to barking too, grooming need is minimal plus they eat a lot. bull mastiffs are large, calm, too docile for my liking, don't bark too much, yu have to be patient with the dog since they are slow learners, low energy levels are good security dogs and grooming need is minimal lastly Caucasians I have not owned one or really close to one for an extended period but the little I know about them is that they require constant grooming, quite easy to train and are good guard dogs. yu can do a research to know more about these breeds but all are working dogs and were originally used to guard or herd in the past. GSDs were used to herd sheep, Caucasians were used to guard and protect flocks, boerboels were used to guard farms, bull mastiffs were used to guard estates and mines so they all have a natural guarding instinct and will do the job very well just make sure you get a very good specimen of whatever yu are getting. vianna

Is she getting a dog to protect her against boerboels No matter how weak a dog the size of an adult gsd is no unarmed human is a match for that dog.

gsd are weak.

Maybe you should try picking a fight with the weakest gsd you know and see how it goes.

Security dogs are meant for protection against human intruders and not against other dogs, so it really doesn't matter which one is stronger between 2 breeds. All that matters is the dog's temperament, guard instincts and ability to deter would be human intruders.

........do you think all intruders will be unharmed?...lol..i will go any day for a large breed, its meant to be a guard dog, hence withstand the worst possible scenario...that is my opinion...well maybe i am biased towards the large breed because of the bond i share with them..

Surely even the large breeds cannot match the intelligence and arms of any intruder that knows before hand what he's going up against...

....yes, I know,that is why I made mention of being active in my very first response,perfect blend is a large breed that is active.

Why do you think security agencies, like the police for instance, prefer to use medium sized breeds like gsd, doberman, rotts, malinois, and so on, rather than large breeds? Large breeds are simply not active or agile enough for the job, and they even lack the stamina required.

What stamina? Is he running a race with the dog? As far as small area protection is concerned large breeds are the master. Besides, Rotts and Doberman are NOT medium breed dogs, what you see around calling rotts are simply quack breeds.

...there are a lot of large breeds that are agile, I am talking from experience,have had dogs for the most part of life,from the no 1 nigerian citizen basanji,too mixed gsd...and for the past 7 years boerboels...do not mistake calmness for agility and also not these dogs are serious work if u want go walk them,u must be strong,my male boerboel that passed on weighed about 60kg,knew a guy whose male weighed up to 70kg.you really have wrong that they are not agile. A question for you,do you knw hw big lions,tigers are...some weigh as much as 200 kg...are they agile or not...do not think because of their bulk, they can't move,you will be shocked how fast they will get to you.

OK fine, compare a lion to a cheetah or yu want to tell me that there is a boerboel that is as agile as a GSD or mali?

medium to large breeds are good for security OK fine let's leave stamina out of it are large breeds as agile or swift as medium breeds? small body no be sickness o and lastly dobermans are medium sized dogs they are almost in the same weight bracket with GSDs the ones you see are probably mixed with rotts or simply overfed
