Hello to the House

Please I need a Dog for security purposes, I have kids so I dont need something extremely aggressive.

I do need a VERY large intimidating looking dog, one whose Barking sound will scare folks away. I am inclined to buying a GSD.

So what will the house recommend

Lastly, for learning purposes, some Dogs go as high as 350k-500k while same breed goes for 150-200k

What's the difference other than the physical looks

well I'll recommend a Gsd,its the best dog for a beginner (I.e a first time dog owner) they're easy to train and very much alert and active when it comes to security...... you could go for a working line or show line depending on your budget (although I'm not quite sure how aggressive a show line can be but my working line gsd is a badass,at barely 4months no one could trespass our compound talked of visiting without notice)
Caucasians are also good dogs but they have a voracious appetite...
Rottweilers make sense when it comes to security but they need a firm handling
Boerboels too are quite intimidating when it comes to size but you must make sure its a pedigree

therealMcCain:


Thanks for this, please whats the difference between showline and working line?

The showline vs working line was the going price rate?

I was made to understand that Caucasians are very difficult to control, Is this true?

PeraGSD:


Hello. Thank you for mentioning us.

For the first question which is which dog would we recommend for security. We are biased as we are focused on the GSD breed so will advise that. However going into specifics the GSD, when you take your time to pick or you are guided will serve as excellent family dog and also serve as good alarm or alert dog. We must add here 2 issues...temperament and training to be able to fulfill that role effectively. Generally GSDs are good loyal family dogs and when balanced are most suited for family companion (good with kids too) and security alert/alarm. With the right training and careful selection will serve for security purposes effectively. Worklines generally have a higher prey drive although you have showlines selectively bred for higher than normal prey drive for the line which is usually low to medium. They are very intelligent and medium to high easy to train.
On second question on price differentials a lot of things come to play. Pedigree of parents in terms availability/knowledge of the lineage. Titles if any. Health testing if any including that of dogs in its lineage. Color. Coat. Size etc. A combination of these including the breeder's perception of value or worth come to play. We do not rule out scarcity and wrong valuations too as we have also noticed this.
Finally, if you need more advise, concerning a GSD specifically we will be glad to guide you for free in arriving at your making a decision. We hope we were able to be of help.

Thanks, with this, I have more questions

I will reach out

therealMcCain:


What makes it my best bet

RYEOFARMS:
well there's a significant difference between the working lines and show lines
1.Most show lines are pedigree dogs with their history still intact while you would hardly find a working line with an intact history (so this is the major reason for the difference in price)
2.All showlines are slantbacks while working lines are straight-backs
3.From what I know "Show lines are bred mainly for dog shows and events while working lines are main deal when it comes security and working
4.All show lines might appear bigger and have a long coat while working lines might be smaller or of the same size and could either be long coats or shortcoats.
5.And i noticed here in Nigeria,most showlines are black and tan/orange coat color while working lines come in several coat color. (from the 5 points you should be able to diff them now)

About the Caucasians,I don't really have a personal experience with them but from my friends and other people I've worked with,they seem to be well behave if you feed them well and you train them earlier... every dog is shaped by the way you train them

Futureukstudent:
just wanted to input something about the Caucasian...it isn't advisable for a beginner to rear a Caucasian. They are very unpredictable. Gsd is still the best recommendation for him

their parents have intimidating sizes; very large and are trained security duo though very loyal and family friendly but can take a bullet to defend their owners.

Even these lil ones started barking at 2months and their big bones are tell tales they would grow into large terror.

Besides, they are purebreed, slant and long coat.

phunkypalace:
Hello there, sorry I've been very busy for some weeks now and hardly have time for the Nairaland platform. In fact the platform is not really encouraging to me. But to your request and questions, I can see Mr PeraGSD has done a great and credible justice to it. I hope you are able to make a good choice at the end. Thanks for the mention.

PS: Please ignore number 1,2 and 5 in what futureukstudent wrote as a means in knowing the difference in bloodlines of the German Shepherd Dog. It's all garbage and should be trash in the bin.

Osifebebecha:



GSDs are all talk and no action. You should get a Rottweiler. They are more security focused.

You all still using the word "slant" in 2021 just to make a sale?...Pathetic!
