Are these good dogs for a first time pet owner?

Question

A German Shepperd I always wanted it so I could train it to be as smart as the police German Shepperds.

A Pitbull because I want a dog who is tough and strong and feirce.

A Caucasian Mountain dog because it's the biggest ever it grows to like 300 pounds and like 4.5 feet tall and I want him because he's the strongest and most dangerous.

Are these 3 dogs good for a first time pet owner oh and i'm gonna have one kitten with the dogs.

Answer 1

No, because they are all naturally aggressive and it takes a lot of time and experience to train those dogs. You're are gonna have major problems. Stick with the less aggressive dogs or don't get one at all.

Answer 2

Sheps if well trained, can be wonderful family pets. Pits need lots of socialization, meaning, interacting with other people and other dogs in a positive way. The Caucasian Mountain dog does not grow to 300 pounds. Weight range is between 70-160 pounds and grows to 26-32 inches and is not a good choice as a first time pet. Where did you get your information? Get a beagle

Answer 3

German Sheperds are always an ideal choice, they're trainable, companionable and protective. I wouldn't reccomend a Pitbull for a first timer unless you've had previous experience with them. They can be hard to train, and though they are reputed to be very fierce, they are more likely to be laid back if you are laid back. I've never had any experience with a Caucasian Mountain Dog, in fact, I've never even heard of them. It sounds like you want a large dog, with a strong physical build and something you can train. You may look into getting a yellow lab, a Boxer or even a Great Pyrenese. All of these dogs are fairly large without being overly aggressive without a cause. The largest dog I've ever seen was an Irish Wolfhound (they were bred to hunt wolves). They are pretty low maintianence. Good luck in your search for the ideal dog!

Answer 4

german shepard yes pitbull no when you have had no expierenc getting a dog who is going to naturaly be more aggressive and a bit harder to train isnt the best i dea, and the next one a dog that will grwo to be that big will needs tons and tons and tons of excercise it will cost you alot of money with food and vet bills and will require constant grooming. a german shepard requires to be brushed once daily and at least 2 good hours of excercise a day, and are very smart easy to train and are great for a single person or a family and they are also good with cats the other 2 dogs will most likly well lets just say you make wake up one morning and find your cat not breathing. i have a german shepard and she gets along great with my cat just make sure what ever dog you get you get it as a puppy growing up with a cat will be better they will learn to love each other rather then fight

Answer 5

No, not really. A pitbull would be okay if you got him as a puppy. If he grows up around cats, he won't end up killing it. A German Shepherd and the Mountain dog require too much exercise. You could get a stray at a pet shelter, mutts don't have as many health problems as purebreds.

Answer 6

Not really, try a dog that is a bit smaller than these breeds,
friendlier, and a bit easier to controll. Like a lab, a boxer, a boston terrier, a dachshund, or a golden retriever would be better choices for a first time dog owner.

Answer 7

well your gonna have some big vets bills on your hands,,, german shepherds are great dogs but you have to know what your doing when you train them...they dont automatically grow into police/guard dogs its alot of specialist training.... pit bulls as you know are fighting dogs so unless thats your aim ...and pit bulls are very hard to train....mountain dogs have quite a docile nature ...so either your joking or if your serious you shud be joking....and as far as the kitten goes that really has to be a joke you have 3 big uncontrollable dogs and ..u think a kitten would survive... i do hope your joking and that there isnt any children there .. sounds very irresponsable to me im afraid .. so as you r a first time pet owner.. you say.. dont do it get 1 dog to start and learn about them first ..

Answer 8

None of these dogs are a good choice for a first time dog owner as they are all strong breeds (mentally) and they need strong leadership. If you want a really large dog, try a newfoundland - they have sweet dispositions, very friendly, not stubborn and very laid back. Perhaps consider an airedale or bichon if you want something a little smaller.

Answer 9

No none of these breeds are suitable for a first time pet owner.
The kitten will make a lovely snack for one of them
If you were smart eonugh to train a GSD like a police dog that would be a miracle.

Answer 10

no, german sheperds and pitbulls are aggressive dogs. Try maybe a lab or golden retriever.
