    Get a rottweiler. Once trained properly you'll have the most loyal pet as well as one of the most ferocious guard dogs money can buy. Dont just go and buy any rott from the classifieds either, be willing to pay a few quid for a good one. There is a reason why a former RAF dog handler makes regular trips over to me to buy rotts he knows hes getting quality.

    I thought they were Doberman Pinschers?

    Big black ****ers, anyway. Rather like that Centre Back who plays for QPR. Scary. Your Doberman has more star quality, though.

    How about a Brian griffin?

    I'll do it for 3 bottles of wine a day. Food optional.

    Does it really matter how well bred the dog is? I'm not planning on entering it in cruffs. How much do the good ones cost anyways?

    A friend of mine spent £2500 on a bulldog, madness! :biggrin:

    Anyone ever see the film The Legacy? They fed the dead people to the dogs, big black evil looking beasts, what breed were they?

    When I get a garden large enough to accommodate them, I'm going to get 2 black German Shepherds. Fearsome looking but class dogs all the same

    Yeah it matters, because to put it in gc terms closely bred puppy farmed dogs turn out to be ****y *****s that have psychological problems and are liable to turn at any stage.

    You'd get a good Rott for between 950 and 1300 of your english sterlings.

    I have an English bull terrier, they are as much use as a guard dog as is Rafa is a good manager.

    So dont get one of them.

    I did, couldn't find the answer. They are around 9:50 into this, scared me when I was a kid, think they're rottweilers:

    Fair enough, I suppose my old man would stretch to that if he knew he was getting a good dog. If the dog is KC registered, does that mean it's well bred? :biggrin:

    The dog in The Omen is definitely a rottweiler:
