    Rottweilers!! My parents friend had two of them. I was 12 and playing in the front yard with the dogs. A man tried to pull me over the fence and I was fighting. The male dog ran over and chomped on his arm and the female stood on her brother and almost bit his throat. My dads friend came out and commanded his dogs to release and the man took off down the street. He asked me if I was okay and I said yes and I was told to play with the dogs in the back yard. My mother was grateful and clocked them dinner. I loved those dogs 🥰

    My rotty is awesome. Never got trained for protection but he does it naturally. If I’m busy working in my yard, he lays down between me and where potential threats might come from and stays alert until I call him off. He never went after anyone but will stand if someone walks in the property which alerts me of the incoming person, usually a neighbour or a delivery person. He looks at me then looks at the person. As soon as I say ok buddy, he turns in the goofball. Never had an occasion where it was a threat but I feel he would do his job if it ever happens.

    • @apbt067
      @apbt067 Год назад +32

      Letting kids crawl,pull, and poke dogs is asking for a bite or worse to happen. Dogs have good and bad days same as people they also age at a much faster rate. I grew up with Rottweilers they are great dogs. But if the kids are ole enough they need to be taught to respect the dogs and how to interact with them. Happens to all the time the family dog either gets old or just has a day it doesn’t feel like being pulled or poked and then it gets blamed for biting one of the kids. Hope you know how to read dog body language.

    • @amyfaranso8423
      @amyfaranso8423 Год назад +45

      @apbt067 I've raised Rottweilers for 35 years. People have no idea what it takes to raise and train them. They get this dog because they look good. After 9 months of no guidance and discipline, it's too late. They know there is no leadership in the house, so they take the position of leadership. They are so intelligent they have figured out the human very young ! Any dog that bites its owner or kids is insecure and had no discipline or direction. I never had these issues be cause I knew exactly what I was getting into. My 4 kids are older now, but I have no regrets raising them with Rottweilers. Never ever aggression ever!!

    I got bit real bad by our neighbours completely untrained rottie when I was about 17 years old. Left a nasty mark on my arm but luckily no irreversible damage. Took the fucking clown several minutes to get his dog off of me. Never been more scared in my life than at that exact point that beast caught my arm in its mouth, I was 100% sure my whole arm is gone and was just focusing on keeping my head and neck out of reach.
    Ended up getting a rottie myself when I turned 19 and moved out from my childhood home, the absolute best dog I've ever had. Training was rough in the beginning but after that no problems whatsoever.

    My rottie was the most sweetest cutest cuddliest dog we ever had growing up. I would often curl up on the living room floor and use her as a pillow. Out on walks I would run down the street and when I was a bit away my dad would let her off the lead to chase me (used to love seeing the fear on strangers faces when we did this). She was so well trained that she would always stand at my side or in front of me if there were strangers about

    I have worked with or around dogs since I was a little guy. My aunt operated the local humane society and my dad worked there on his days off from the fire department then I went on to do the same as well as volunteer for several mastiff rescues here in Florida.
    I will second what is stated here about the Rottweiler. They are smart, loyal, and will annihilate a person if they feel threatened. If a Rott likes you, you have a friend for life. If a Rott LOVES you, you have a furry Guardian Angel who will move Heaven and Earth to make sure you are safe. If a Rottweiler doesn’t like you…move along and better luck next time because if you cross that dog, you WILL regret it. They don’t bite often, but they more than make up for frequency with severity. Fortunately, they have a good off switch and tend to back off once the perceived threat is gone.

    My dad has been a cop for over 30 years and to this day he tells me the worst call he has ever been on was an English Mastiff call.
    In February many years ago 3 kids broke into a families home sometime between 10:30PM & 12:30AM with intentions of robbing them. It’s unclear if the kids thought no one was home or if the house was specifically targeted. Anyways, the parents of the household were out at a work party late and they had 3 kids who were at home. At the time a 16 year old girl, 13 year old boy and a 7 year old girl who they got via foster care when she was 3 and they were lucky enough to adopt her. This next part is sad but it’s relevant. She came from a very abusive home before CPS finally got a tip of the abuse and went over finding her malnourished and terrified of people because of how poorly she was treated by her mother & her step father (who were both arrested and given 20-life with the possibility of parole after 22 years).
    When she got her foster home she refused to be around people because she was terrified what they would do to her because all she has ever known were humans abusing her. The family of the home gave her space and let her get comfortable on her own terms as she had been through a lot. Over the next week they noticed she loved looking out her bedroom window when their neighbors dog was outside. So they made a decision to get her a puppy so she could have something to bond with and hopefully in turn understand love not just pain. Well obviously the dog was an English Mastiff and they did everything together. Slowly overtime this little girl saw her parents taking care of her dog that she loved so dearly and she started to realize they’re helping the dog just like they want to help her. So they became a family ending with her being officially adopted by their foster parents about 3 years after getting her.
    Now that the backstory is out of the way, the 3 boys kicking in the back door and made entry into the house. Obviously startled all 3 of the kids were shaken and the oldest girl made her way to the stairs and looked down to see 2 men in their living room. She screamed and ran towards her younger sisters room where their dog was. Opening her door the dog was very nervous and alert. The bedroom door did not have a lock on it. The 2 men from the living room made their way up the stairs followed by the 3rd guy as well. They opened the door and made the biggest mistake of their lives.
    Protecting his family, the dog jumped on one of them and bit one of the boys on the ankle. His bite was so strong it broke his ankle and I mean absolutely obliterated it. The dog then jumps on the next closest to the room and barely got the kids hand but he took 2 of his fingers right off. The third one was smart enough to run down the stairs during all the commotion but he tripped down the stairs and broke his leg. Seeing the other boy run, the dog went back to the second guy who was still standing up and bit down on his thigh. The dog then returned to the room with the girls where they shut the door and waited for the police to show up. The third guy with the broken leg hobbled out of the house and got picked up by the police about 200 yards from the house but his friends didn’t follow him.
    The 2 boys did not make it. One of them had their femoral artery hit and bleed out in just minutes, the second boy actually had a seizure from the pain he had endured and ended up dying later at the hospital.
    Mastiff’s are in fact great defense dogs

    My mom's rotty kept pushing an infant further back into a recliner seat to prevent the new little rolling bundle from rolling onto the floor. After every nudge back, the dog gave a "woof". When my mom entered to room, she saw a nudge and saw the dog "woof". The baby had never rolled before that moment, so the adults had no idea there was any danger. The rotty saved that baby from a bad fall.

    Rottweilers are amazing family pets, too.
    My best friend has one and she is just the sweetest. My friend doesn’t have kids, but all of the people at our workplace bring their dogs so her rotti gets to come into work every day, and so she was kind of nervous letting her meet kids since she had never been around them much at all as a puppy. Whenever customers bring their kids, her rotti gets SO excited! The sound of their voice immediately has her whining to go upstairs so she can meet them! She is SO gentle with them, and really the only worry we ever have with her is that she knocks us over sometimes because she forgets she’s chonky and believes she’s a lap dog, so she wants to lean and sit on you 😂 She can get loud and sound a little scary if she barks, but we always reassure people that this is just her play bark, and you will KNOW if it isn’t.
    We only hear her scary bark when she sees someone jogging or wearing a hat, aka she thinks you look suspicious 😂
    I find it funny because she was not trained to do that, but she doesn’t want anyone running up on her protection space or if she can’t clearly identify you.
    I have no doubt she would protect us well if we ever had a situation where we needed it, like a break in or getting attacked.
    She’s super intelligent, and is very good at scaring people whether she’s trying to or not 😂 maybe there’s a reason we’ve not had to see her in action lol
    Poor girl wants to make so many friends but doesn’t know how big her voice is, and how scary just her friendly bark is 😂 but that lil nub is waggin’ so hard, trying to show she just wants belly rubs and to lick your shins 😂

    I was born into a family where my dad had pit bulls, and I'm 42 years old now and had them every since I've been alive, but I'm not one of these pit bull owners that act like pit bulls don't do Pitbull stuff, they was bred for aggression and fighting obviously, I don't recommend just anybody have them, but I've probably had over 20 and I've never had an incident with any of my kids, family members ,none of that , but I was also raised around them and learn how to handle them. A lot of pit bull owners get the misconception that because they're pit bull treats them nice and loves them that they're not going to bite strangers or even new guests at the home, and it's just not true. They're like a pistol, in the wrong hands they can be deadly, but as far as security for the house, I personally think that they're the best guard dog , they stay on point at all times. But I also knew very selective breeding and pickings , training . Great content bro

    A note on the English Mastiff: when the Romans invaded Britain they encountered the Mastiff/Bulldog progenitor on the battlefield. Those dogs ended up in every corner of their Empire with their legions, as war dogs, guard dogs, and everything else - a force multiplier for centuries. A special, special breed.

Her favorite snack was cheese, and if she saw a rolled up newspaper, she would P because it would scare her so badly. Her humans were an elderly Italian couple and never once hurt her, but just the thought of them being mad at her just for her to pieces. She was truly the sweetest dog I’ve ever seen. I have a Cane Corso now which I believe is an Italian mastiff… Wow the energy levels are just like night and day.

    My guard is a wolfdog named Wolf. He's 15, but surprisingly he's very intelligent, strong, energetic, with amazing sight and hearing. He's been trained all his life since there are 2 police officers in our family. Gotta train him well so he can get all the burglars, murderers, etc. He attacks the ones who enter the house territory, the ones who attack my family, so basically all the dangerous/evil people. He's also very cute tho. I love how if someone or something attacks him, he can send them to Jesus. That's a cute fact I hope. He's actually very nice to family. He listens to ppl too.
    Here are his command things:
    Woo: Attack
    Hiya: Stop
    Tratra: Run
    Fah: Wait here
    And more. He also knows the common stuff like sit, lay down, roll, stand on back paws, pray, lick, etc. He has a dog family too, he's the father of 3 dogs, they're all 13. He was bred with a female husky. She was very weak though, unfortunately Skye the husky passed away from old age.

One day I was walking pass his fence as I was semi distracted, I didn’t notice until it was too late that the fence was open. The second I realized it, the dog was semi lunging towards me aggressively.
    I knew I was f’ed so in a split second I knew I can’t run, so I just stood still and averted my eyes in a somewhat submissive stance, when he reached me, he seemed to lessen in aggression and sniffed my hand before going back. I swear my spirit left my body at that moment lol.

    Romanian raven shepherd. They are raised to guard livestock against wolves and bears. Minimum weight is typically 9 stone and they can stand at over 6ft on 2 legs. They have a huge, deep bark and are huge. They are fiercely loyal to their pack and if raised with humans they treat you like their pack and love you to the ends of the earth. They protect everything in your house regardless of what it is. If raised as a baby correctly they are brilliant with kids and cats, kittens and babies and gentle with family. Anything other than what they know is never getting near you or anyone with you. Absolutely brilliant with commands and doing exactly what it's told immediately. And they have a incredible stealth mode too. Amazing guardians and protectors but amazing with family.

      My best ever dog was a Rottie. For the longest time we thought his only protection value was in the breed reputation because he was such a goofy marshmallow. Then he was tested IRL and WOW, what a difference context makes!! Saw the intelligence displayed both in recognizing real danger as well as my ability to deal with it. Turning both on and off like the switch of a light. Incredible! Powerful! I'm glad I was on the backend of all he brought to the situation! I have never felt safer in my life than when that dog was by my side or under my feet sleeping.

      Our family’s friend has Rottie. Big and massive. My mother is always afraid of her. And I like her. I like big dogs. I always know with whom I talk and always confident for what they are capable.

    My Rhodesian ridgeback was one of the best dogs I ever had. He was so gentle with the babies and would take anything they would put them through and loved them and his family dearly. He protected his family and his property with all the due diligence he had in every fibre of his being but was such a loving companion to the family and friends of the family. I would venture to say he was the top of the dogs I have had.

    We LOVED our BULL MASTIFF, he past away 3 years . We miss him everyday. He was a Rescue Puppy 🐶 from pound, SOO Many People Wanted Him for a Guard Dog. We fell in LOVE with Him right away, especially when my Husband said go over and bite her on the angle and he did. He didn't do Any Harm but my Husband said that our Dog. He protected me when I would have seizures. LOTS OF LOVE LUCIEN 💙💜🩵

    I have a half Rottweiler Half Pitbull, dad was a 128lb Rottie, mom was a 50lb American Pitbull Terrier.
    4 and a half months old, 49lbs, alert like he’ll go from sleeping to quickly jumping and standing his ground even to family members till he realizes who it is, then he wags his tail.

    The South African Boerboel is not a good choice for inexperienced people and are a highly aggressive dog

    • @lukeozade9957
      @lukeozade9957 Год назад

      Lol what? Then you're a shitty owner. I haven't met a Boerboel that isn't a sweetheart when approached respectful and with the owner present. A Boerboel is very smart. Most remember familiar faces and will learn who is friend and who is not. I'm south african. Ive walked in neighbourhoods and seen massive boerboels in yards. I'd speak to them as i walk. Only when owners were present would i ask to pet them as when the owner is there the animal can pick up on the owners mood and determine if you are friend or foe. One i even built a relationship with giving him biltong after years of passing and petting who's name was bulletjie. Only time they'll really be aggressive is 1 with other strange dogs in their territory (on the property) and unknown faces entering without the owner present indicating it's fine. They are also great with kids. Only reason i wouldn't recommend them for small kids isn't because they don't care, but because when you weigh 75kg it's easy to bump a toddler over simply by moving your head from left to right. Other than that they are great dogs. Just make sure to have a bigish property as these arent apartment dogs but otgerwise all they need is bare basic training to be great and obedient dogs.

    I cannot disagree with you more after living with an African Bourvil, that they are a good dog for a family.
    If anybody else comes over, like friends, or the kids friends, you never know what’s gonna make the dog go to attack mode.
    I know you know your dogs, but I think you got this one 100% wrong.
    My son wanted this dog very badly. But, it bit no less then five people over the time we had him and that was after he had been trained for months. The only other person who I know who had one also would never own another one!

    • @biankevonschlichting583
      @biankevonschlichting583 Год назад

      This i would say is only with ocasional boerbuls. I know many people who have them who never bit anyone. Including my grandparents dog. He was a sweetheart and never bit anyone, he only groweld if the people passing by came to close to their house. I know of other people though who have had your problem before.

    I've been walking my dog about daily for 4 years now. In the first year he met a Rottie out for a walk with his momma. I asked, "Can my dog come over and say Hi?"
    "Oh definitely." So we came over, got sniffed. Got bumped. I even got a kiss. Great dog. Named Reuben.
    One time I stopped by the house to give his dad something. Dad was in the back yard, and even though we had met several times, Reuben wouldn't let me past the back yard gate until dad opened the gate and shook my hand. Then Ol' Reuben give me a kiss.
    That's a smart dog, knows his job.

    • @DYBRO-ORBYO

      i recommend not to get any dog no matter the size if u know nothing about them, if u spend like a 10 hours total amount learning about them from yt and be 2-4 hours with some irl i say u get a golden labrador, incase u already know a lot u can start off with a siberian husky at last, nothing i would recommended which is big till you train any two of those for 2+ years, then you can think about getting a black labrador (female) as it's easier to control. Male breed is way too overpowered if ur not buff with a huge house and good accessories

    • @DYBRO-ORBYO
      @DYBRO-ORBYO Год назад

      if u want in small sizes tho i say go for shiba-inus, as per my experience it's the easiest to tame so far, leaving some...

      Have you thought about a Boxer dog? They are very sweet, and playful and energetic. A great pet. Not unmanageable size, and very affectionate. Maybe not the greatest "guard dog" breed, but a perfect family pet.

    • @tracyjohnson5023
      @tracyjohnson5023 Год назад

      Standard poodles, labs, golden retrievers, boxers. Standard poodles are big lightweight dogs, very smart and easy to train. No shedding or grooming if you keep clipped.
      Labs or GR but DO NOT get working lines. Way too much destructive energy and can be difficult to train.
      Boxers are great too, they have a lot of energy but not very destructive. But they can JUMP high so tall fence is a must for yard.
      Mixed breed dogs can be good too, just know what you're getting.
      Please don't get a guardian type big breed until you've spent alot of time around them in person. Most breeds have dedicated breed rescues and that's a great place to start as you'll get to experience alot of what happens when people get a dog they can't handle.
