I Need A Dog - I GOT A DOG, HIS NAME IS RANGER by Nobody: 8:32pm On Jun 24, 2019
September last year, robbers came to my house.
I live in Rumuigbo, Port Harcourt.

They entered my house with my daughter and wife and sister in law in the house.

By God's grace, I was able to fight back (they were just 2 of them, one with a gun and the other a knife) and chased them out of he house. In the process, while fighting with the one with the gun, the second personpicked some phones and they both escaped. The gun didn't shoot despite several attempts by the robber to shoot,. He was confident it will so he didn't run initially until it failed repeatedly.

These people picked my locks, entered the house quietly. I only realised their presence when they woke me up.

I won't even wish my enemy this experience. Till yesterday night my wife hasn't overcome the trauma. I kept telling myself that if I had a dog, not necessarily to protect, there's no way someone will jump into the compound, walk around, pick lock, enter the house .......I would have been alerted by the dogs barks.
You will not understand how it feels to be woken up by robbers.i don't think I'll ever forget it for the rest of my life.


I decided I MUST GET A DOG

I put a post on nairaland to ask a couple of questions about getting a dog. I have contacted numerous dog sellers and kennels. In fact I've almost been scammed numerous times. Most people have dogs crossed and bred with local dogs with headings like "full breed ....." with exorbitant amounts.

I don't have the funds to get a full breed dog. I thought of importing from europuppy. The cost is beyond what I can afford in one payment.

I don't want a dog mixed with a local free range dog
I've lived with them in the past. I don't want that.

I WANT A BEAST. I WANT A DEADLY BEAST. so when working overtime and nights at work my wife doesn't have to call me every hour that she heard a sound outside the house.

I don't want a dog that will run for it's own life when shit hits the fan.

After months of research, I've settled for a Caucasian, Rottweiler, Presa Canario, Cane Corso or ...Boerboel.
Not really a fan of boerboel though. I need something scary that scares people just from it's looks alone.

Prevention (deterance) is better than defense

Unfortunately to get a full breed is very very expensive .

PLEASE...PLEASE....PLEASE

Is there anybody open to receiving monthly payments until I complete payment for a FULL BREED WICKED BEAST OF A DOG?

It should just scare people with Its looks... that's all.

Ps: I can't move out. The neighbourhood isn't exactly dangerous and also it's my family compound where I don't have to pay rent so... moving out isn't an option. This is the first robbery in more than 15 years. But the economy so .....

I work in a reputable and recognised organisation so ...I'm actually credit worthy but shelling out bulk cash at once for a FULL BREED isn't easy for me.

Any person open to this? Please help�

@Lalasticlala I wish this can bit front page.

It's actually urgent.

We feel you. We just wish to add that as you get a dog you may add a budget for training if you end up with a good physical package in terms of a deterent look and right temperament. A well trained dog that will know how to react to such situations is a plus.

Finally, you may consider two dogs. Two dogs in combination on a security patrol are a beauty to watch in collaboration.

PS: If we had your spec in terms of breed and expected temperament we would have gladly considered your staggered payment proposal. Wish you and your family all the best.

Thanks sir. Appreciate it.

With respect to the training, in all the research I've done I've come across "obedience training" but it's mostly on foreign websites I see that, haven't really come across any Nigerian post that talks about it.

Any ideas where they are done? In portharcourt?

Thanks

Remove pitbull bros....the breed ain't meant to guard homes.

@OP since you can cater for two dog's a gsd and Maligator, or gsd and rott isn't a bad idea.

@Logadims stays around port Harcourt. You can check with him for links to good breeders in your environ.

Three dogs might be a handful for me o.
But I think I understand the concept.

Gsd: Barks a lot, alerts everyone of intruders (watch dog)
Rottweiler & Pit: Attack dogs


I've observed gsds bark a lot. At everything. Which is good in a way but, when most are false alarms, when the dog barks every single night at cats, birds, every sound heard, how do you know when there's a real threat?

This is one of the reasons why i decided against a gsd. Just yesterday before making this post, I visited someone I met online who had gsds for sale and had sent me pics. When I physically visited his kennel it was a completely different dog I saw and maybe it's the people I'm meeting or maybe since I'm not exactly in the dog circle, all the dogs I'm seeing are mixed and mixed it's even difficult to understand what breed exactly you are getting.

I hope I'm not being unnecessarily moral or righteous but I wonder if these doesn't have negative effects on dogs health.

I hope I'm not ranting I'm just exhausted

op with reference to your write up, the breed you need is definitely not a pitbull.
Re: I Need A Dog - I GOT A DOG, HIS NAME IS RANGER by PeraGSD: 8:36am On Jun 25, 2019
We may have a bias for GSD but if you asked us to have a say ill advise a combo of two dogs a GSD and another maybe rott or boerbel. Yes the GSD have a penchant for alerting with time you'd get the experience to know there's a problem with just one bark. On the only two occasions I've ever experienced intruders into my space. I woke up from sleep with the bark and i new immediately there was a stranger in the compound that night. I was right.

We hope you make the right decisions

you are right. someone who owns the dog will actually be able to tell with time

also hope no harm was done when your space was intruded
Re: I Need A Dog - I GOT A DOG, HIS NAME IS RANGER by vincentjk(m): 10:54am On Jun 25, 2019
Op i understand exactly what you need

Get one or two full breed boerboel, raise them well and then see the outcome. Out of all the breeds you mentioned, none is scarier and mean like boerboel is

I owned one but died unfortunately but I'm getting another (pedigree) in about 3months time

The first time i lived in a compound with 10 apartments. Mine was apartment 9. They got into 1-7 and left. My GSD stood firm in front on my entrance. They didn't cross over. Next time was when a security guard from a neighbours compound jumped into ours as he had escaped from being tied up by the robbers. Jumping into our compound was his best option. My GSD gave the warning bark. My eyes opened and i knew there's an intruder in the compound. Only that this time it was a friendly intruder as he shouted his name and why he jumped into the compound. My then GSD was loved by everyone as he and the security guard patrol the compound at night.

if you want an "intimidating beast" a gsd is not your best option.
it is good at barking and raising alarm but to be honest it's not the most intimidating dog.
my advice is for you to go for a rott, boerbel, cane corso or Caucasian Shepherd.
these dogs are both intimidating to look at and very good strong guard dogs.
only the barks of these dogs will make people reconsider before entering your compound again, plus if it resorts to a face-off with the intruders, these dogs can deliver deadly damage to any body that tries to harm your family.
the confidence of the dog depends on how you train them so I'd advice you to research about these breeds and how to take care of and train them before buying.

Re: I Need A Dog - I GOT A DOG, HIS NAME IS RANGER by IamAnderson(m): 3:43pm On Jun 25, 2019
me personally I prefer Caucasian shepherds because of their size,strength, aggression, guard instincts and independence.
also they make good family dogs, they are wonderful and friendly around family but aggressive towards strangers.
mine plays with everybody in the house and you'll never even believe he can harm anybody until he's ready to break your fingers with his chain to attack an intruder grin
it's my choice sha, I don't want to be biased and use my preference to make you buy a dog of my choice.(I can see someone is already suggesting pitbull as a guard dog and gsd as an "intimidating beast" )
I suggest you do your own research about guard dogs and their characteristics, that way you'll be able to pick the most suitable for you.
and also read up about them very well before buying one.
goodluck

I suggested based on what OP said a dog that will deter intruders just by looking at it and Neapolitan mastiffs attack I have never owned one but I have two very close friends with Neapolitan mastiffs. Boerboels can be aggressive when necessary and they don't fail to take action when necessary
