guard dog

[markbubble]

I live in a place that's in the middle of nowhere
Although crime is rare here, police response times are laughable ............. So
we invested in a Shepard to protect our property
We have had her twelve years now and believe me, if you aren't invited in you aren't coming in 
We never trained her to guard, I think that is just the breeds natural instinct.
She lives outdoors, ( we have converted an old brick built coal shed for her to sleep in )
and although she does come into the house, she only stays in for a short while until she's asking to go out again.
Some people think it's cruel letting an animal live outdoors, but I think it's unfair locking anything in a cage.
I don't think we have locked a door in our place for around ten years !

it deffo is in there nature to guard(as ours is also) there is nothing wrong with aving them outside as long as they got a nice dry place to stop under and like you say some prefere to be outside but not good at all if there locked in a cage,im not against dogs been kept for guarding property etc as long as they are looked after and not just locked in a cage or tied up,ours in half guard dog half softy!
