Answer 1

Okay, if I understand what you want, you want a dog for protection. If that is what you are going for, you need to buy a dog that is trained for protection. Contrary to popular belief, most dogs will NOT protect their owners if they are not trained for that situation. Look at it from a dogs point of view. Dogs are ruled by instinct. Instinct tells a dog it has two options. Fight or flight. In the dogs mind, flight is just as productive as fighting, and even the best bred dog therefore has only a 50% chance of defending you. Furthermore, if you DID buy a dog that is that ferocious that it will always attack, it is going to have a very unsound temperament, and is just as likely to attack someone you DON'T want it to.

Onto the breed choice. Labs are not known for their ferociousness. There are a couple out there, but most labs are going to walk up and wag their tail at intruders. Working line German Shepherds are a really good choice. :) (They are my breed of choice). Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Malinois are more good choices. Just make sure you look for WORKING line dogs. Show line dogs do not generally have the termperament to be protection dogs.

Finally, I would look for a fully trained protection dog. These are not cheap. Usually $5000 to $10,000. However, the proper training is not cheap, and takes a long time. If you need protection soon, you can't wait for a puppy to grow up and get properly trained. When you look for an individual dog, look for one that is not afraid of anything, and make sure whatever breed you get, it has a health guarantee. Also, look for a dog that has high drives, and most importantly, a dog that you can get along with. A dog tends to be more outgoing and aggressive, but a female tends to bond more with its family. Some females are a force to be reckoned with anyway. So gender is really a personal opinion. I don't know of trainer/breeders in your area, but I would try searching online.

Answer 2

Dogs are trained to be ferocious, and unless you plan on hunting large game there is no reason to own one. Your personal habits are the thing to guide you. Be honest... if you can be downright lazy, find a breed that won't Need a lot of attention. If you are going to be his bestest friend in the whole world, collies and terrier are usually good bets. If you are looking for a "guard dog" and have kids German shepherds have decent tolerance for children. But KNOW what your level of dedication will be first.

Answer 3

If you're stationed somewhere and get a dog, what do you plan to do with it when you have to move? Will you be able to take it with you? Are you willing and able to continue caring for it if it becomes ill or injured, and when it gets old, or are you just looking for a disposable guard dog? Anyone considering getting a dog needs to be aware that a dog is a living, feeling creature, and you need to be prepared to care for it properly throughout its lifetime if you plan to get one. If you get a dog and train it as a guard dog, make sure that it is trained in a way that it will still be safe around a family if you choose to have a family in the future.

Answer 4

No breed is inherently "ferocious". A dog is only vicious when it is trained to be. If you are looking for a dog that is vicious or appears to be vicious, you are probably better off not owning a dog at all.

Why do you want a "ferocious" dog anyway?

Answer 5

labs ferocious ha right no dog is born ferocious its the owners that make them that way i had 2 rottweilers and they where soft and cute .

to tell you the Truth i hope you don´t get a dog at all

Answer 6

Answer 7

depends on the breed, but a lot of dogs cost money anywhere between 300-600$ maybe even more depending on the breed. if your looking for a good guard dog i would have to say go with the German Shepard... they are my favorite, but then again they aren't the meanest looking dogs out there. if you are looking for a mean looking dog i would have to go with a Doberman, Rottweiler, or a pit bull

Answer 8

Dalmatians are very good dogs. They love to run around and play. But, they need a good running partner. If you are into this breed, i would suggest buying a puppy to train him/ her the way you want him/ her to act. It will be hard to raise a puppy, but it's worth it when they grown up because you'll have a best buddy. The cost for a Dal depends on how good his/ her health is and his/ her looks. A good nice looking healthy dog uually costs up to $160. www.puppyfind.com is an EXCELENT place to buy a dog. you can look for one around where you live. Thats where i got my dal.

Answer 9

Dogs are ferrocious or not depends upon ur Method of approach But i Suggest a GSD or A LAB wil be of no use A bigger breed will help u Like A GREATDANE or a SULUKI or A AFGHAN HOUND is a good tamer in those regions

Answer 10

Dobermanns should be the best choice. They are intelligent and easy to manage and groom. You can get a dobermann ranging from 10000/- upwards depending on their quality and origin. I had an excellent show quality american bloodline dobermann that attracted lots of attention from both good and bad people....
