Ultimate guard dog

in pets •  6 years ago 

When my other two dogs died of old age I needed to replace them quickly.Guard dogs are imperative for the house security when you are out during the day. Word gets around who has what as security by the domestic workers. We have a maid who does all the household chores, but I trust her. Other houses haven't been as lucky though as most of the breakins have been proven to be inside jobs.

My first choice for a guard dog was a Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff). This breed was used by the Roman Legionairres in battle. I was outvoted though even though I believe this breed is the ultimate security prevention system. The puppy school said a big "no" when I asked them on my choice of dog.

This breed makes a Rottweiler look like a poodle. We went for our usual in the end which was a Bullmastiff. They are loyal but not as scary looking as their Italian brothers. My one is loyal and listens to every command.

The one day I was driving the car out the gate and told him to sit and stay. He was sitting in the middle of the garden when I left. On my return many hours later he hadn't moved and was still sitting there. I have learnt my lesson from that day as he is the first dog I have had that listens properly.

I still want a Cane Corso one day and maybe I will get my wish.

I like also Cane Corso although I haven't owned any dog ever but I think my first one will be a Samoyed. However, from what I read Cane Corso not only that it is a good guarding dog but it's also a good baby sitter if I may say. I have seen some videos about it and it's not all just muscles. One of my favorite breeds.

My Mastiff loves my grandson and just sits with him.What I like is he is very gentle with children. He gets concerned when he cries and is very protective. No one who he doesn't know will be allowed near my grand son.

ultimate security prevention system

Surely a mistake?

I knew a guy who had a Bullmastiff. It was a sweet dog, but ultimately too strong. It pulled me and another friend of mine through a snowy forest when we were taking it for a walk. It was also terrified of a small toy dog that said "hau hau hau hau..." as we learned when Jussi introduced us to his dog. :)

I've never met a Cane Corso but I've heard they can be challenging as they have a dominating will as a breed trait.

Look at that picture so amazing. Oh wauw....
