Hey guys,
in about 6 month to a year, I’d like to buy a new dog / puppy. It’s going to be either a Malinois or X-Herder (Malinois mixed with Dutch Shepherd). It’s going to be my third dog. The main reason for this dog is, because I want to use the dog as a protection dog. First of all to protect my property and second to protect my family.
My current question is, what kind of dog should I get? Some people / trainer say, that the puppy should be stable and calm. The other trainer say, that they are looking for extreme dogs / puppies. With crazy drive, focus, and so on. But on the other hand, not everyone can handle this kind of dogs and many of these dog owners get bitten. Most times even without purpose, but because the hand was between the teeth and the toy, the dog wanted to get.
So, the question is, what kind of dog should I get? Well some of you are going to say, the kind of dog, your trainer suggests to you. The problem is, that both trainers I’ve got on hand have their own breed program. And of course, they want to sell me their puppy. But sorry, I’m not going to pay 3 times as much, as I would with another breeder.
And what do I need to handle such “extreme” dog, with a high drive? I talked to a breeder of such dogs and he said, that with a strict hand, everyone can handle this dog. But I have to be the leader, because the dog is going to question the leadership every single day.
