Those dogs are the ultimate...a pit trying to bit those is like trying to take down an elephant.
I have wanted one of these dogs for several years, one day I WILL own one. either that or a Kurdish Kangal.
these dogs are brutal.
YouTube - Kurdish Kangal Dog Pulls a 4,5 Tons Tractor with its Mouth!‏
My wiener dog works just fine, he 11lbs of kick ass.
and he's cute.
And when I run out of gas he can pull my car.
Those are enormous dogs! And what attitude:kaboom:
My goal is to someday buy some land and retire either in Flagstaff, AZ or Prescott, AZ (I actually hate the heat, but love AZ). I also plan to own one of these dogs to guard over whatever land I can afford and have been heavily researching them.
I've been looking at either a Caucasian, a Kangal, or a Tibetan Mastiff:

Aww what you don't want a pit then?? That's pretty funny coming from a guy that shit talks about pit's.
If some dumb tard got a hold of one of those and didn't treat him right he would kill not just you but everyone around..
So becuase pit's have been gangsterized and are a very popular dog so we read about them ALL the time pure bred or not, im sure this would be next in line to talk shit about right?? Or because you have or want one makes it better I guess... Sorry to jack the thread OP, just kinda funny.
You honestly have no real clue what you're talking about. You don't seem to understand the basics of dog psychology or breeding. You think a primitive (i.e., not as domesticated) animal is better for families? Do you have a recipe for the shit you're smoking? It must be some strong stuff.I actually would feel better about these dogs than I would a Pit. These dogs being primitive still have the proper pack and protection mentality. As long as me and my family are a part of the pack, we're okay. The fact is that Pits have WAY too many examples of killing people within its own household for me to ever be comfortable with. Do you not notice the large wolf-husky mix in my avatar?
Although most other breeds always have anomalies that cause them to be "insane" in terms of dog behavior, at least the "insanity" wasn't bred into them like it was into Pits.
A dog is supposed to act submissive to show submissiveness. A pit is THE ONLY breed that has been recorded to act submissive in order to bring you in for the kill. NOT NATURAL. This gives them an advantage in a dog-fight, but is creepy-to-psychotic seen in the light of day. I'd rather an aggressive dog that's more "honest" about its aggressiveness.
Not saying all Pits are like this, but I'd rather stay on the side of caution. I also act to try and counterbalance the over-aggressiveness of Pit owners to expand the propaganda for the dogs people like you seem to be truly suited for.
Oh, and in the "vs. Pits" threads, we've had more than one personal testimonials from members who have experienced first-hand the unpredictability of Pits. Yet you Pit owners tend to gloss over or outright ignore what these members have posted.

Guess what, I had multiple surgeries to repair what a mutt (mix of field dogs) did to me. Care to gloss over that?
(CBS/AP) A boy was fatally mauled in a pit bull attack at his home Friday, authorities said. Police killed one of two dogs in the house, and captured the second.
...
Neighbor Aaron Vinnick, 11, said the victim — described as either 11 or 12 — lived in the apartment with his parents, brother and sister, and the two dogs.
Do you know why they're never used? They're not good in that line of work, they can't do what the other dogs can. Do you know why a shit ton of breeds aren't used in that type of work? Oh, it's the same reason?The link the OP posted? My stepdad did exactly that (breed/train guard/security dogs) as both a hobby and a side business.
There's a REASON why Pitbulls are NEVER used by both modern military and LEO units as an extraction or subjugation tool like they do with Shepherd breeds (German and Belgian are the most popular) and Dobermans and even Rottweilers (though much less so). They might be used as sniffers, etc., but never as a confrontational tool, even though, pound-for-pound, they're a stronger breed than most mid-sized dogs.
Dogs have a "blood-lust" barrier where, once they attack and eventually hit that barrier, they will stop ignoring commands and go on pure instinct. You can train most dogs to increase their threshold, but Pits were bred to keep going until the opponent stops moving.
Guess what? If that was a Pit that got ahold of you, the chances of you being here to advocate for them would have been a LOT less.
Just get one of these:

No need for training. Just make sure the neighbors know that your dog will eat them.
Just puppies...
Last year I was looking at Turkish Kangal's only to find out that they arent allowed in the United States for breading. They maybe now...dunno. Tons of videos on the internet as well of them in action.
I have a co-worker that I "talk dog" with, and he's also considering the same dogs I am. According to him, he found a Kangal breeder in Texas that he's looking to visit in the near future.
I don't know if this is them: THE KANGAL DOG
He also found a Caucasian Ovcharka breeder in Las Vegas that we might go drive out and visit. I find this breeder intriguing, since LV has a similar climate to Phoenix, and I just don't see a dog like the Caucasian working in these climates.
What's even weirder (to me) is that he found a Leonberger breeder near Tucson, and those dogs are an even bigger stretch for me, as far as lowland AZ climates go. I left the Leonberger off my list, because they're not quite the land protector type I was looking for.
