Should I get another dog? Please help? Fila or Presa? Anything? Dog Breed Discussions
I currently own a 10 year old female rottweiler. She was an outside dog and kept our property safe. I live on 60 Acres and live 5 miles from a prison. There is nothing but woods between me and the prison, so I like to be on the safe side. I have a sercurity System in my home as well. I do have an 14 month old baby as well. My husband is a professional dog trainer and attack dog specialist. He trains them, and we have never had a problem before. Our Rottweiler, Sadie, is the perfect example of how a rottweiler should be and then some. Very friendly, but will protect when needed. We are looking for a serious guard dog. I was raised with a Presa Canario and south african Boerboel. Both were great dog. We need a dog that is extrememly protective, and can tolorate living with another dog. I know guard dogs are territorial and therefore, some can't live amongst other dogs unless they are very submissive. I need a dog that is friendly with family friends, as we do have our friends over often. One that will attack if need be, one that is big enough to make someone think twice about coming into your property. We will need at dog that is okay with being outside. We will have him inside until he is big enough to be outside by himself, or with Sadie, at night. We have our dog inside with us and spend all day with her, but at night, we usually put her outside to patrol the property. The new dog will have to be able to survive that. I can handle a lot of dog breeds, and I stay home all day cause I work from home, so I will be able to train it and spend time with it all day. Before you talk about keeping the child safe, I never leave her alone with my Rottweiler now. If I go take a shower, I always bring my baby with me, she is never alone with any dog, even a chihuahua, anything can happen and Ive read to many stories about people being irresponsible. Not saying My Rott would, but that is a chance I will never take. If you have any dog breeds, that would fit this, tell me. I will be looking to get one within the next three months... As long as they fit the decription of what I want, your answering my question. Thanks.Thanks for you answer, I have never considered a Gp before. Even though they are child friendly, I would still never leave her alone with a big dog, if they are in the mood to play, they can hurt them by accident. My rott plays on the floor with my baby, but I would never leave her alone with her, and go in the other room, without an adult watching them. I have never seen a Dogo before either, I will have to look into that, Thanks :)I love rottweilers, But I wanted to change the breed up a bit. Ive had my baby for 10 almost 11 years now, and she is a winner to me. But I wanted to change up the breeds a lil. However, I will consider getting another rottweiler, a Male.Her breeder also stopped breeding about five years ago. He was a big breeder, but bred great Rottweilers. All greeted me with wagging tails when I first met them.Im asking because he is not the Main person to take care of them. I am. So I wanted to change up a little.@GreekGod: My Husband says a German Shepherd, Or another Rottweiler would be perfect for the family. But, I wanted a Bigger dog. I would greatly consider a German Shepherd Dog or another rottweiler, but I just wanted something different and very child safe, since I plan on having another baby in the future, and currently have a baby girl now. Not saying that German Shepherds and Rottweilers arent child safe. I know that they very much are.
