Let's be honest here, the Corgi is the most efficient - all the others protec, attac, scare away, entertain, befriend...but the Corgi actually got _money_ from a robber.
Let’s face it (at least if your British): if the house your robbing has corgis, the Coldstream guards are gonna be there in like 10 seconds because you have just broken into the queen’s house
Dachshund owner here, can confirm. Also my best friend once said "If we could understand dachshunds, we would learn racial slurs for things that don't exist."
I was helping a new guy in my Army unit move into his base-housing. He told me his dog was home but was super chill. I grabbed a box out of his truck and walked in to find this THING that filled the hallway. His dog was an English Mastiff. I walked forward to the room the box needed to go into and when it let out a bark that basically paralyzed my central nervous system. "Oh, knock it off, Cash." I heard my buddy say. A giant tail started wagging and that dog was indeed the most chill dog ever.
Sounds about right. In my experience, the only time an English Mastiff is even remotely dangerous is between the ages of 1 and 2 years old when they still act like puppies but don't really understand how big and strong they are
As a Jack Russell owner, that is a realistic portrayal of their fearlessness. I’ve had people come near my truck (18 wheeler) and he’s always ready for a fight. Doesn’t matter the size, he’ll take them down
My Jack Russell is legit all bark no bite. He always sizes up and barks and growls but when there is real trouble he hides behind his bigger brother who is the exact opposite (a blonde hovie) but he is 30 inches over 100lbs so it's really more a hiding under him than behind him.
@@lukakaps9548 Mine was the opposite. A dog of similar height and weight tried to run up on us while we were walking to the store. Jack Russell (and yes, I named my JRT Jack Russell 😆) bit the dog's leg and crapped in his yard. That point forward, Jack Russell Terriers became my favorite small breed.
@@PhantomUltimate im with ya, our jrt is from a shelter we got him when I was 9. That was January 2012. He is the absolute best, although he is very old now, because here in Germany animal shelters often lie about the age of dogs so that they seem younger and have an easier time getting a home. But what they have told us is that he will be 14 in May this year. But he is likely more around 15-16.
@@PhantomUltimateits the pooing on their territory that is their signature move. Rip Angus. They are the best dogs. But they atre not a small breed. They are just compact big breeds. Travel sized. They all think they are huge.
Irish Wolfhound story. (Buddy of mine in the Army told me this one). Dog was, by all accounts, super gentle, and quite lazy. Buddy had a basement in his house, with a window you could access from the ground. Anyway, robber came in through said window. When the police arrived (Because robber was literally yelling for help), the robber was half-in, half-out said window. Wolfhound was trying to drag the guy back IN to the house.
So when I was younger, we had a husky And he would spend his days, sitting outside, grinning at people through the chain link fence, trying to bait them over Just so when they approached, he could start loudly barking and growling. He'd wait until they were literally at the fence Once they ran away, he would just reset and wait again I'm pretty sure it was his main hobby
My old rottie was dangerous. Not from her bite, but from her intense excitement and she would turn into a doggy missile and genuinely knocked out one of my teeth. Absolute cuddle bug tho. I loved that dog, but you usually had to get her attention on the other side of the door and hope the glass didn't break.
Mine are very similar to that I have a male and a female Now my male A complete stranger could break into my home kill us all and steal him My female on the other hand Very very sweet when one of us is home I wouldn’t want to walk in this house without one of us here though She’s a completely different dog when we aren’t home Even if she knows you Our dog sitter Whom she absolutely loves and has been dog/house sitting for us since she was a puppy Has started having problems
I did not expect to see Havanese on the list because they are such rare dogs around here that nobody has even heard of them. I'm not sure if my two would go after an intruder but I know for a fact that they would not stop barking and growling until at least 5 minutes after the intruder left.
As an owner of a Havanese as well, I am surprised how protective this little love is. Once he's told the person is ok, he's in their lap saying hello in no time. They are great alert dogs, too.
The Rottweiler one is accurate. Mine would rather be friends with someone coming in my place than hurt them and people will nervously go along with it because they're unnecessarily scared of him lol.
As a Bassett Hound owner I can comfirm this is accurate..... mine has the loudest, most ear piercing bark of any dog I have ever heard..... I also have a Chiweenie..... as you might expect she has all of the attitude of both a Chihuahua and a Weiner dog... and it is amazing how much sound can come out of so small a body...... her bark is almost as loud as the Bassett's.....
My parent's first child (my older brother) was a Basset Hound. Blu was my mom's baby, he would get between my mom and any person who entered the house, even her best friend. After I was born he would sleep under my cradle and wake my mom up if I cried, the baby monitor. My dad said once when I was naughty he was going to swat me on the butt and as his arm went back Blu just put his mouth over my dad's arm, he never bit him just let him know not to spank me. Dad put me down and then put Blu outside and then he swatted my butt. He was a very protective older brother.
Our chiweenie taught our other two chihuahua mixes how to howl. They will alternate barking and howling whenever they hear ANYTHING. A few years back the police were looking for someone who had run down our alley and into someones backyard. When an officer got to our fence our little ankle biter dog was out there eyeing him and making the most unholy racket. We asked him if he needed to come look in the yard. He looked at the dog and said, "no need." Im assuming the rationale being if anyone was back there the chiweenie would have let us know.
@@djladygee lol.. he was given that name because when he was born he was the color of a roasted peanut :-) then when he was about 6 months old his coat turned almost completely blonde :-) . From what I understand that’s pretty normal for their coats to drastically change color.
Best break-in story I heard is my sister-in-law who had a friend during college, who was in a relationship with a guy and would go sleep over to his (parents) house. The father was a notary lawyer and had his practice at home. The father had a Great Dane. One day the girl came home to the Great Dane standing on his hinds legs, his front paws on an intruders shoulders and he would snarl if the man tried to move. The robber apparently begged her to do something, but she had no authority on the dog. She called the police and her boyfriend's father. Of course, the police arrived first. They all had to wait for the father to arrive and call off his dog. Just imagining the whole situation, waiting for the father to arrive, with two police offices, makes me laugh every time I think about 😂
That's amazing! Yeah, certain of those large breeds were bred specifically to sit on intruders until the master arrived (Tibetan Mastiff, for example). I'm sure Danes are similar, as we can see from this story
We had a dog like that in my family when i was a kid. He was a German Shep. In his eyes, my mom was his Alpha and he only obeyed her. He was very protective of us all, but beware of the person who tried to break in and my mom wasn't here to call him of.🤣
My aunt and uncle had a wolf/husky mix and one night they woke up to screaming, apparently someone had broken in and met the dog. The intruder apparently had lost an arm and blood painted the living room.
Irish wolfhounds are big and built and bred to stop wolves. They are the best protectors of children and often bind well. And they tend to be snuggle buddies. But threaten their bonded one and you’re on the menu.
Meanwhile the German Shepherd: ,,Ah Willkommen It's a Really nice thing to see a new Freund I espeschially like playing wit all ze blood and see ze limbs flying around Before I will give my dearest Owner eine Umarmung"
Makes sense. If you know the history of the breed at least. Shibas were flushing dogs for hunting boar and if I remember right also bears, they'd enter the den and flush the animal out, an incredibly dangerous job. The partner dog the Akita inu would hold the prey for the hunter. They're larger than shibas around the size of a German Shepard and dangerously mean to unknowns, loud big dogs, scary as hell too. But lovable to family and friends if trained right. Very loud though
@@biosaber585 given that sort of History only the smartest and fastest would survive. Give it a few dozen generations and you wind up with quasi accidental selective breeding. No wonder they're such crazy little shits
@@jamesheaton5421 leave quasi out of it, shibas aren't natural, not like we think at least. They're a sister breed to Akitas, they're a dog breed that originate in Japan and were selectively bred for the purpose of hunting, its literally forced evolution as dogs that weren't hyper enough, fearless enough, small enough, etc. They weren't picked. So you get these small hyperactive terrors that are like you gave a herding dog crack. They only really mellow when you get into the American variants of them where they were bred with US breeds that mellowed natural instincts a bit and dogs that were raised to be house pets not hunting dogs.
A dog trainer once told me, "One does not TRAIN a Tibetan mastiff, one comes to an understanding with a Tibetan mastiff." He loved the breed because his neighbor's had saved his and his friend's lives when they were kids.
I had a German shepherd that would give the look like "Go ahead, make my day", not making moves or anything - just the look, and people and other dogs would turn and go away. (used to have to walk my dog in dangerous areas) Always felt very safe with her along.
Probably because they were starved, abused and trained to kill at the flip of a switch. Lions can’t really be taught to fight, only do what comes instinctually. Dogs can be trained to close in for very deliberate and quick kills which is why they’re utilized so heavily in police and military avenues.
@@OtherM112594 well A Irish wolfhounds are a much more modern breed than the fake comment above would have you believe and also you just had to be the guy who sucks off PETA
@@Adriano.C Yup. Or rather whatever version of the breed existed 2,000 years ago that the Romans encountered, bearing in mind that a LOT has happened since then.
There's this winery in my town where they have an incredibly friendly Irish Settler name Gandalf. He's free to roam the entire town and the winery. Wears a collar that says "Not all things that wander are lost". Best dog ever.
I had a dachshund once and I can confirm that that one is 100% accurate. They’re not big but they’re super territorial and they will bark at literally anything unusual. They’re essentially a four-legged burglar alarm.
Dachshunds are absolutely fearless. People forget that they were originally bred to go after burrowing animals. That's why they're shown in the Sporting Dogs group at AKC dog shows. But they are also 1000% loyal to their pack and can be the sweetest little things to those they love. I grew up with Dachshunds if you couldn't tell!
My ex bf's mother loves doxies. Currently owns 3 and his grandmother's 14 year old long hair chihuahua... Them 4 are 100% the best security system they'll ever need
lmao the yorkie is so right. It's body is so small and cute but inside lies the soul of a sumarai ninja dragon slayer that keeps forgetting its body is a small doggo
A friend in the early seventies had a REALLY big Dobie. It was extremely quiet at his parties just sat in the corner...watching everybody. That dog scared us. ALL of us. One day a robber broke into the friend's house. That Dobie chewed on him in literally every room. The guy finally crawled on top of the fridge and curled into a tiny ball. He was just about dead when he was discovered.
The Irish Wolfhound is literally like “The wolves of Ireland were culled through systematic colonisation and genocide. And yet here I stand on four legs, a descendent of that lost generation. Fear me, for I am the living testament to the tenacity of the Irish spirit and our cultural refusal to simple roll over and give up. Now lemme roll over so you can rub my belly.”
@@sarah593 Rottie AND Irish Wolfhound??? 😳That had to be one hell of a Hound of the Baskervilles. I mean, I can't even begin to imagine what that combo looks like.
"Once upon a time there were wolves in Eire, long-tailed hounds three-quarters the height of a man and one half the weight of a bear. They hunted in packs of dozens, family kith and kin, and brought down the great beasts of the isle with a tenacity feared and respected by every wild faerie and wicked witch of the wood. There are no wolves in Ireland today, but I am here. I am what happened to those wolves. I am the hound that ate the Wolves of Eire."
Dude should do the cairn terrier. Insufferabley happy,Einstein smart,extremely given to pranks,not to mention the lamp shade wearing life of the party. GO WILD!
I've had 3 Irish Wolfhounds, truly gentle giants ❤️ the breeder we know told us a story where someone broke into her friend's house (who also had a Wolfhound) while they were out. When they returned, the guy was cowering in the corner and the Wolfhound was just sitting next to him - Wolfhound was just happy to see someone but the robber was terrified of the size of the dog lmao
@@azcardinalds2360 yeah but if you kill a dog there’s a good chance you’re gonna end up dead anyways, especially around where I live in the middle of rural nowhere where everyone has a big dog a gun and enough property/ pig farm to hide the body
I had an Irish wolfhound lab mix. He was MASSIVE! The deepest loudest bark you can imagine. When he would get defensive or angry his fur on his back would stand up and look like a werewolf. He terrified anyone that saw him. But he was the LARGEST lap dog in the world. Literally would crawl in my lap, he loved to be picked up. If he loved you that is. He had a weird sense with people. If you had done hard drugs in your past he would never chill out near them. And they hated him. Miss ya Mousse!
The rottweiler one is so true. People cross the street to avoid my girl but she's literally a lump of love. Rottweilers are basically tanks powered by affection
We had a Rottweiler in the 80s. She was a definite guard dog. We were told that a trait of Rotties was to let someone enter the house, but not let them leave. We saw this in action with electric meter reader. She let them into the yard, but then they were held till we came out to tell her that was okay. She'd just stand & bark in a threatening manner, which was probably more bluff than anything. But was a good bluff for most people.
I used to volunteer at a dog shelter, and there was this rottweiler that would pin me to the wall and not let me out of his kennel. I was trapped for 45 minutes before someone found me!
lolol a…my girl would maneuver my toddler and hold him in place in place if she saw him doing something I usually said no to. I would come back into the room and he’d be stuck in a corner and Heidi would be all “I am a nanny GODDESS” 😂
As a person with a relative that has a Rottweiler, that’s pretty accurate. They look intimidating and have bad connotations, but they really just are looking for someone to play with. Well trained rotties are actually super gentle. Even though some breeds are more prone to aggression, if they are treated well and trained right, the most harm they’ll do is think that they’re a lap dog. Edit: I am not saying that rotties can’t be dangerous; in fact, a guard dog who’s a Rottweiler could kill somebody. I am just trying to make the point that negative stigmas don’t always define a dog breed.
My grandmother's rottie would literally pull up in front of my brother on the couch then reverse into his lap like some kind of car backing into a parking space for pets, was hilarious, and I miss her.
The Irish wolfhound is a very loyal and very protective but family friendly breed. That doesn’t change the fact that they were bred to hunt wolves. If that thing can kill a wolf it can definitely eat you too. Awesome dogs.
My Doxie is very quiet until a plane flies over head then you would think we were being robbed. We, unfortunately, line by the airport so she's at it several times a day. Starting straight into the sun, barking at something she cannot see and poses no threat. But her bark is fast and shrill
I owned a female Tibetan mastiff. The dog was absolutely fearless, literally afraid of nothing. I lived in Washington state at the time, and the dog took patrolling my property, (a heavily wooded area with no neighbors) very seriously. I was her one and only person, and there was no room for anyone or anything else in my life. It didn’t matter if it was a delivery person, or a butterfly on our property, it simply had to go. She was a very intense animal, but was very gentle and loving with me. One memory I remember in particular involved a den of coyotes that lived not too far behind my cabin in the woods. One night she had chewed through the farm link fence to leave the property to go and fight the entire pack of coyotes. I went outside to hear chilling sounds of her ripping into coyotes in the woods, and I frantically called for her to come home. She came trotting out of the woods and all of her majesty without a scratch on her. The dog was truly a warrior, and a loyal friend. RIP.
My neighbor growing up had an Irish wolfhound. Huge dog. Would just stare down anything and anyone that came onto the property. He liked me and my sister though, so we were his little buddies. We lived up at the end of a long road, where a fence separated our yard from the neighbor's yard, and her house was at the end of a different long road. One day we were sitting in her yard playing, and the dog perked up for a second, then went stalking off into the bushes. A few seconds later a guy came wandering up the road, looking around. He wanted to see what was at the end of it, since it was a long, winding road leading up a mountain. A few seconds after that, the dog stepped out of the bushes behind him, and growled once, then just stared at him. He slowly backed away and went back down the road. Then the dog came over and plopped down next to us again. :)
Laughed so hard at the Shiba Inu cause mine literally stares at strangers for way too long when on walks and refuses to move until they move away, which is very awkward for me
Omg, the Whippet one got me. Also, the Irish Wolfhound felt very accurate. I used to walk home after school past a neighbor who had one when I was young. And the way that dog looked at me each day was him basically telling me I was only making it by his house alive because he was allowing me to.
@@driftingblueberries682 Irish Wolfhounds stand about 6 1/2 to 7 ft. tall on their hind legs (as do Danes and Scottish Deerhounds). Fortunately, they are gentle giants. Many of them are convinced that they're lapdogs!
Can confirm. I remember growing up as a kind and had a neighbor who had a dog that was half irish wolfhound and half great dane. Was a lovable BEHEMOTH. Saved me and my brother's backsides when the other neighbor's doberman got loose(poor thing was abused to the point of insanity) and chased us. Tiny showed up and outright body slammed the thing, chased it off, and then plopped down and laid his head in my lap.
Mine would stand on his hind legs put his paws on your shoulders and be face to face with you. So big when he slept in the bed it was like having another full grown human in bed.
I live alone in a very rural area and people always ask me if I get scared about being robbed or whatever. I have an Irish Wolfhound, an Australian Shepard, 2 Chihuahuas, and 3 Rottweilers so I figure if someone wants to break into my home, best of luck to them. 😂
As a Shiba owner, I know what they do. My dog literally enters zen mode outside our house and he crosses his arms and stands on one leg and stares through the window.
My grandmother had a Shiba. That dog was a complete sociopath. He always looked happy. He ignored the cat and miniature pug he lived with. However when another dog got near, say within about a foots distance. It was go time. Straight for the neck. Otherwise he was quite friendly.
@@DaxianPreston Yeah my Shiba doesn’t try to hurt any other dogs he just walks right past them without any troubles but when a dog goes for him he just runs as fast as he can from them.
@@DaxianPreston I can confirm that. I once encountered a shiba while walking my dog and it just was aggressive. The owner explained to me that she did that to dominate other dogs and then let them play with her. That's my only time meeting a shiba with my dog.
One time someone broke into our old house (i was upstairs taking a nap and my moms dogs, great danes, were downstairs with a couple outside.) we can only guess what happened, but we think it went down like this- robber came in through the front door, dogs saw them and one bit them (blood smear on the wall), they were chased into my brothers room where they managed to hide. They decided to try and take my brothers pc (it was in the middle of the room) when perhaps they saw a massive shadow move in front of the window… at this point they must have realized there was no good way out for them. A couple trying to break down the door, some in the backyard just waiting for them to try and leave. Eventually they left through the window and probably scrambled over the fence. We never had issues like that again. The funniest part to me it that my mom had a doormat that said “hope you like big-ass dogs” and a little sign that said “big dog mom” so I don’t know what the robber expected.
This reminds me of a story about my grandfather being a chihuahua breeder. At one point in time he had dozens of chihuahuas all over the house and one night a burglar broke in. My grandfather was woken up by the sounds of over 30 chihuahuas barking and the robber screaming. He left through the backdoor and over the fence but lost his shoe and sock.
Irish Wolfhounds are the sweetest, but they're DEFINITELY the protective type. I was volunteering at a shelter, and was feeding the pups in quarantine. Got blocked into a kennel that two Irish Wolfhounds were sharing. Everyone was freaking out because they couldn't get in to get me out of the kennel because I was loving on them, and they were getting defensive over me. Those pups didn't want me to leave.
I had a Irish wolf hound as a babysitter when I was little. We'd play in the backyard and the dog would keep us kids in the yard. Also, if we were outside, adults had to approach from the house. The dog was very protective of her pups ( us kids). Drunks, or people, walking down the alley always stayed on the far side of the road away from the property.
bro, you're the best. Rottweiler similarity 100% I'm not a robber, but I was also met for the first time by my girlfriend's Rottweiler. he really had such a smile. really! 30 years have already passed, but you brought me back to that time.
The shar pei one was hilarious. My husband has owned several and they are fierce guard dogs, but very loving to their families. One story in particular, a person (most likely robber) jumped our backyard fence and found Brinks. Didn't get too far despite using a box cutter on Brinks' belly. Next morning, hubby comes down to find bloody handprints on the fence and Brinks chilling, looking for pets. Absolute machine of a dog. Lived to a ripe old age and died peacefully in his sleep.
I have a shar pei mix who mostly presents as shar pei (look up bonemouth shar pei and that's what she looks like). Meeting strangers during the day is fine. When I take her out at night though... Depends. An old man (frustrated by a malfunctioning car, I think) confronted me one night because I dared stop by him and started raising his voice at me. Right after he said "I don't give a f*** about your dog", she decided to make him care and started growling. She didn't try to lunge at him or anything, but I wasn't willing to let the situation escalate (especially because we live in an apt complex) and I had to drag her away as she was so focused on standing between me and a threat. Today, she growled while staring at the door, which she never does. I didn't see anyone through the peephole, but I was unnerved.
My grandma had a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix that my uncle trained. His name was Rambo. A robber broke into my grandma's house. He left without an arm. Collapsed a few feet from the window he jumped back out of. That robber was wanted for murder. He survived, but my grandma's dining room was a bloodbath. That dog saved my grandma's life. I will love him always and never forget him.
For sure, rottweiler's are the second most aggressive dog breed against intruders. I've had 6 and you need to introduce new people otherwise you ☠️☠️☠️
my father had a german shepherd/cane corso mix named ogre when he was younger, said dog was originally raised as an attack dog by some shady dude he was super chill and gentle, also really protective of his human, unless you were an arab construction worker, he just seemed to hate em
Best robber story I've heard was from this vet tech I knew. She had a breeding pairs of English Mastiffs her female was over 240lbs while the male was over 300lbs. She got a call from the police at work, because the robber was a tug of war toy to them. She said that Male was super sweet and gentle, she believed the robber stepped on his tail in the dark.
The Rottweiler is definitely accurate. My dad used to have a German Rottweiler and he was the biggest softie I've ever seen. He was big he could stand on his hind legs and almost touch my shoulders. I'm 6'0. Called him mini bear because one day while playing video games I saw something big pop into view outside the window. Honestly thought it was a bear until I saw it was him. And despite all that. He was still terrified of a hawk's feather, a stray kitten and his own freaking puppies. Had to make sure he wouldn't leave for milk bones.
I've got a German Rottweiler named Yoda, biggest sweetheart ever but everyone's afraid of him because they think we have a domesticated bear roaming the house, he's so big
But everyone is actually afraid of my dog since he has killed like for kittens and one Cobra he has killed many type of Snakes and also killed some rats (he's a original rottweiler btw)
I'm a dog walker, and this guy who worked at a 7-11 where I used to drop into, asked if any of my dogs bite people...then said his friend's rottweiler back at home killed an intruder who hopped the family's compound, courtyard fence. (home was in another country) Unfortunately he then showed me the picture of the dead guy on his cellphone. Barf. I don't shop at that 7-11 anymore.
The vibrating whippet! I have a Formisan Mountain Dog who obviously had whippet/greyhound ancestors. Her teeth chatter when she's frightened, her whole body vibrates.
The dachshund motto is very much "death before dishonour". Mine has chased a naughty doberman across a field. If a burglar kicked him, that would not be the end of the conversation. He is also the friendliest dog i have ever seen and greets everyone we meet and plays with every dog. He just takes no shit, no matter how big he is. We have much to learn from the dachshunds.
I used to have a red long-haired one that kept picking fights with a Great Pyrenees, who would just stand their patiently waiting for us to pull him off
Dachshounds tend to get underestimated. They are not lapdogs, they were bred to hunt. And not just hunt anything - they were bred to hunt badgers, in their burrows. And badgers in their burrows are not exactly helpless prey... Dont mess with dachshounds.
There are two kinds of guard dogs; the ones that will deny access and the ones that won't let you get away. Now imagine both working in tandem for home security.
This was how Lhasa Apso and Tibetian Mastifs were used in Buddhist temples-- Lhasa are small but have the lung capacity of something ten times their size. Assuming you got by the "alarm bell" you were *not* getting by the actual muscle. I owned a Lhasa, they're insanely sweet but incredibly protective and tenacious.
The basset hound one is so accurate. That howl will have your ears ringing in close quarters and it's definitely gonna wake me up and alert me to a robber 😂
only thing I wished was that it was portraited as a happy howl, both our Bassets was sucky guarddogs in the sense they loved everyone, but yeah happy baying like crazy as soon as someone came and said hi until we gave em a "warning the gaming owner" treat :)
Corgi’s are more like unintentional alarm systems. They bark at *everything*, but will absolutely treat anybody who enters the house as like their best friend. Having had two, this has been my experience both times.
My house got broken into when my rottie was about a year and a half. They took a lot of stuff. My poor boy was so frightened hiding at the end of the upstairs hallway. Knowing His excitable and friendly personality, I imagine the whole thing went down with him trying to say hello and getting shouted at or kicked and then running away. Poor Winston.
I owned three Pitbulls mixes. One of my dogs bear was huge but was mostly confused and or shy 90% of the time, Spot was old. CP was smaller then bear but he was viscous. To this day i remember a list of stories my dad told me on walks. He in his 3 year life. 1.attacked two pugs one of which had its back ripped out. 2. Killed multiple birds while peeing 3.attacked a corgi through a fence bite down on the corgis snout and while pulling back through the chain fence. Eventually he killed our cat so we sent him and bear to new owners where I got so mad. Apparently while bear was sent to a loving family with a baby CP was put down. I know CP sounds like a psychotic killer but he was really hyper and had the personality of a Labrador with people he knew. It was just *any* other animal in a 50 mile radius he disliked. So yeah if a robber came into our house with anything less then a rifle he wouldn’t have stood a fraction of a chance. Hope your Rottweiler isn’t suffering any trauma or has changed his personality after the robbery.
@@theirmanager5204If your looking for some healthy food with him getting older check out “Dr Harvery’s” super healthy great for aging dogs whose bodies are struggling with aging. Been feeding it too our dog since he was a puppy and knock of wood never had a single unscheduled vet visit outside of a back injury because my dog is an idiot 😂 but seriously it’s the healthiest food I’ve ever seen, to the point where my buddy who comes from a bit of a rough family/area was over at my place while I was feeding my dog dinner and literally said “Dude that looks better than the food I eat at home!… Can I try it?” I let him… Fed my dog and then promptly bought my friend dinner 😅
We were thinking Irish Wolf Hound as our guard dog for our antiques store - but the breeders said no (laughing), it will not even get up from the warm bed before a fire. We ended out with a Bouvier - which incidentally grew to be almost the hight of a Irish Wolf Hound and was double the width. Also did it's job extremely well. Looked like a bear, was a real teddy for family. Once heard it growl. You know the roar lion males inform their territory? That voice is closest that came out of our dog as a nice first warning for a stranger. "Wouldn't do that if I were you." (I actually turned my head to look if our TV was on, because I could not understand the voice was coming form a _dog_ .) Never heard anything like that from a dog. Not before, not since.
Irish Wolfhounds tend not to be protective of territory, but rather of people. They're extremely mellow animals right up until you threaten humans they've bonded with or do something they see as provocative, at which point they pointedly remind you of how big and fast they are.
Bouviers are some of the most ultimate badass breeds. Because they are the most affectionate well tempered gentle giants with friends and family. But pity the dumbass that tries to break in and gets destroyed by one.
100% accurate on the Irish Wolfhound. I had one and one day, he may have been a year old, I came home from work and he was laying on his bed. He looked normalish size but then he stood up to greet me and I learned how truly big he was. Massive dogs. And a fantastic family pet.
I briefly dated a guy who had two Irish wolfhounds and he told me that when his ex moved out, she took all the furniture and he thought about it and just never replaced it. When he was in his computer room with both dogs, that room was completely full of dog. They were really sweet, but the older dog was only six and already had stage four cancer. They just don’t live long.
@@professorbutters aw that's really a bummer!! Purebreds almost always have complications, it's why people get mixed breeds because, I've had dogs live to be 15 and I'm almost certain the reason she lasted so long as cuz she was a dauchaund and a terrier mix
We had a boxer and he was a great watchdog. People he knew could enter the home safely, but couldn't leave when they grabbed something of the home. My cousin once was supposed to pick up a bag in our home and then phoned us, that he couldn't carry it outside, he was only allowed to leave without it. So yes, he would have a *talk* with a robber. 😀
@Az cardinalds23 it makes sense, since the dog knew my cousin was family... but not enough to leave with the bag. A stranger would not have been able to enter
@@davylucas6244 unless I have the breed mixed up . They are from Japan and when paired with a mate, both hunt. The female willl attack from the back while the bear is distracted and attacks the front.
@@melissainge218 shiba inu were bred for hunting game, but i can't find anything on hunting bears - apparently *akitas* were though, in the same way you're describing here. the male distracts the bear & the female runs around and attacks it until the hunter arrives
The contrast between the Irish red setter and the irish wolfhound are legendary and it makes me even MORE proud of being irish than i thought was possible! 😂🇮🇪🇮🇪😂
The dachshund was INCREDIBLY accurate. As was Irish Wolfhund. But favorite...I'm torn between slasher smile Shiba Inu and Havanese inate black ops know-how.
My mother in law had 2 (sadly since passed of old age). When I started dating my now husband, apparently I passed some sort of test without knowing it. Meaning her dogs...well, didn't LIKE me, but would accept pets and treats from me without cussing me out in Dachshund. She's liked me since!
My mom has one. That idiot is the smallest and most aggressive of all our 8 dogs. The second he gets out of his cage, he attacks our American Bully for no reason, deliberately. He also joins fights against dogs twice his size, again deliberately. He's also a sneaky bastard who proudly steals food from both humans and fellow pets. He's also our only dog (out of 8) who actually bit a human, and we have a German Shepherd! Nevertheless, that idiot is so full of love to his humans, is actually the best guard dog out of the 8 and we love him 😅❤
There is one more thing about Rotties you missed. Try leaving. I live on an acreage and my two had the guy who reads the power meter backed into a corner for over an hour. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, they didn’t hurt him (just a lot of growling when he made a move to leave) and we had explicitly told the power company to call first and if we don’t answer, don’t enter. This guy ignored that note.
My cousin's dogs are a mix of Rottie and Mountain Dog. They are lovers but were very sad when I left, according to my cousin. The younger one is more skittish than the other, and usually she dislikes people for a long time, but took to me in only a few minutes which was cool.
I have two Rotties when strangers come home and they can take anything they want except for one rule you cannot take them outside the perimeter or else
As a kid, I had a Saint, and he unironically scared off someone who tried to break in. From what I heard, some guy tried to break in through the window, and he rushed up to that window and immediately went on the offense. Can’t say we had too many problems after that. He was a nice dog, but when push came to shove, he’d make you think twice before doing anything stupid. In other words, he worked on German Shepard AI
Yeah, we have a saint-bernard too, they are known to be protective of family and home, but if they know a person or are with a trusted family member they are gentile to everyone, though also quite excited to meet people, at least this is the case with my dog. There is an anecdote of my sisters boyfriend who came to surprise her by coming a day earlier than planned (lives further away) and as he walked up, our dog was showing agressive protective signs, even making him a bit afraid, but the moment our saint recognised him, he became just excited to see him instead.
My family has a damn pack of Saints bernards the slobber is extremely accurate and may function as a booby trap if the robber slips on it. 50/50 chance an intruder will be mauled by the more protective dogs or crushed to death by the combined 500lbs of the ones that just want to cuddle everything. If the intruder has facial hair and angry mama dog is in the house its a 100% chance of their face being ripped off, she has an irrational hatred of men with beards or mustaches when she first meets them. Of course someone would have to be insane, stupid, or deaf to stay in the house after hearing their barking.
