Answer 1

as you know American Buldogs are NOT the same as English Bulldogs.. the American ones are tough and scary (looking)

but if you need a dog for protection and security - you should really look into getting a properly trained one - which could be any numebr of breeds (in fact Akitas are known to be amongst the loyalist, toughest dogs out there.)

An untrained dangerous dog is a SERIOUS LIABILITY. It could escape harm a neighbour, a child, a postal carrier.. even YOU..

Get a properly trianed dog and prepare yourself to make the time and effort to train and properly socialize your dog.. otherwise, get an alarm system..

Answer 2

The pitbull...Personally being an owner of one. The are extremly friendly when raised correctly, and they are very protective. This way you can have the best of both worlds. Any dog will fight for thier own honor to win-but protecting their owners is much different. A pitbull would be a great guardian along with many other breeds. German Shepards and German Rot's are the same. I have had both of those two as well. All three have been the most protective and very good around children. But back to the pit vs. bulldog-one advantage for the pit is the common perception in todays society-PITS ARE DANGEROUS, and many robbers do recon on possible hits-dangerous dogs can scare them. And also a pits attack is more of a one hit wonder-they will strike and hold on-expecailly when protecting

Answer 3

Well..........
A pittbull should only be bread for gurding reasons....but i do not have a lot of expieriance with either...
But since they both are great guard dogs-a mix should be spectacular... just a thought :

Any ways-you seem to think an amarican blldog is better...just how i read the last two deatials-forgive me if im wrong- but if you think that is best then so be it!

Description:
True grit. True devotion. True love. These tributes are used often to describe the American Bulldog -- a hardy, athletic, all-purpose working dog. The American Bulldog is a loving family companion, good with children and other pets, yet at the same time, fearlessly determined. It has been known to display heroic acts of courage in protecting its master. The American Bulldog has also been used to hunt everything from squirrel to bear, and has been trained to drive cattle and guard stock from predators. The American Bulldog should be evaluated as a working dog, and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dogs ability to work.

After the outlawing of Bullbaiting (1835), the Bulldog breed would have died out if not for the people who liked them for their more endearing properties. Namely, their abundant good nature which makes them excellent pets
so if you were to oupt for a bull dog-it could be more of a pet then a pittbull! Pittbulls are not bad-but are bieng bread for the wrong reason.... for pets!They were a breed for protection/guarding and are not a good house pet for kids...!
But it is really up to you, did you know a pittbull was made from a bulldog and terrior mix?Well its true.....
good luck-i hope you like!

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/Wxmdm

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Answer 5

The breed is almost irrelevant. The way they were raised and treated will directly influence their behavior. Dogs who were trained and encouraged to behave violently, will. However, between those two breeds, raised in exactly the same environment, treated the same, etc... the Pit-bull is "tougher". Best guard dog though, Doberman or Great Dane. They tend to have pleasant and nice personalities, but scare the crap out of intruders because of their size. Plus, remember, if you rent, having a dog will limit the number of places you'll be allowed to live. A lot of apartments won't take renters with dogs because of the insurance liability if the dog bites anyone.

Hope this helped.

Answer 6

what a heinous question. I mean honestly. If you have a break in problem then you want something that will make noise NOT a dog that is aggressive because people use them in dog fights! Little yappy things are the best because they go off when the door opens. Also don't get a dog if you just want it so that it can be a mean dog. If it was to get out and attack someone you would have a lawsuit on your hands. Think about your desicion very carefully. Try investing in a burglar alarm, before you train a mean pet.

Answer 7

Just as there are backyard breeders, ther are backyard protection/guard dog "trainers". They seriously harm animals, psychologically and sometimes physically. Dogs of any breed do not need to be trained to protect their family.
If the only reason you want a dog is for protection you would be better off getting a gun and going to a shooting range to learn how to properly maintain and use it.
There are a number of breeds that are considered "pit bulls" including an american bulldog.
The bully breeds are great as family members and were popular as guardians for children. "Petey", the dog on "The Little Rascals" was a Pit Bull Dog.
Whatever you do, if you get either breed, don't take them to guard dog training. Socialize them and take them to obedience classes. They are naturally protective against strangers or a threatening person, like most breeds are.
I have seen dogs that were very screwed up who were "guard dog trained". As others said here, owning a dog and having it trained like that is a huge liability and a disaster waiting to happen.
If you love and respect your pups, they will be loyal and protective to the nth degree.
Here are some positive Pit Bull stories outlining the breed's valor, loyalty and strength:

Answer 8

You can train ANY dog to be protective of the home and owners. If you just want a mean dog (which will attack anyone without provocation) get a pit bull and be mean to it. If you want a sweet dog that is protective get either dog and praise it when it barks at knocks on the door and when it displays protective behavior. No breed of dog should be or is a "fighting dog" dogs are trained NOT bred to be a fighter! You can look more into the particular attitude you want your dog to have and train it as such. Use google or go to pet stores, shelters or vets offices for more information on where to find the training classes.

Answer 9

in the starting up, I agree...if you're so adverse to canines scuffling with, you'll not have requested this question in the first position. Secondly, 'pitbull' refers to many forms of dogs starting from the yankee Pit Bull Terrier to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier so so that you may specify on what type of pitbull you're reffering to. And to the man who suggested pitbulls are "obviously aggressive", you want to be more beneficial clean on what you say to the those that do not have any journey with pitbulls. at the same time as they're undemanding to be DA(canines aggressive), they're not in any respect to be HA(human aggressive), each of the HA dogs you note obtainable are because of byb(back backyard breeding), unfavourable socialization and basically undemanding stupidity on the vendors section. Now back to the unique question. even inspite of the actuality that the yankee Bulldog and pitbull may nicely be fairly similar in length, it truly relies upon on how a lot "sport" the canines has. Does it provide up after a at the same time as or does it not in any respect lose its stress at what that's doing.

Answer 10

Its all about how the dog is raised. Any dog that is abused and mistreated can be mean. My dog is part pit and she is the nicest best natured dog I have EVER had. My mom had a Lhasa Apso that was a devil dog. It bit my dad in the middle of the night when he was pulling on the sheets. Like I said there are good and bad in all breeds.
