“the best watch dogs ever”
I have a good friend who is a dog trainer. When her hubby went “on the road” she got two standards for protection.
Recommended them highly.
I may look into a rescue situation when my current pack dwindles.
As watch dogs, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Ours know my SIL better than probably anyone and she even lived with us for awhile. They’ve always been very loving and affectionate towards her (when we’re home) but she said she’s been extremely afraid of them the few times she’s come in when we weren’t home.
When someone they don’t know shows up, they always put themselves between us and are very wary until I tell them it’s okay. There’s no doubt in my mind they’d go after someone if the situation arose.
OTOH, you couldn’t ask for better companions. It doesn’t matter if I leave a room 100 times for one minute each time, they’ll get up and follow me each and every time. All they seem to want out of life is to be WITH YOU. (And a slice of Wonder bread since you already have it out... and maybe a pillow if it’s not too much bother...)
