Personal Protection Dog Not Sport Dog - Page 1

I have been interested in buying a PPD for about a year now and in my search I have noticed that the dogs are more sport dogs than personal protection dogs. It has actually turned me off to buying one. If I'm going to spend big money, and I mean BIG money, I don't want the dog to ignore any movement to the head or body. If someone is hitting them, whether with a hand, a stick, or a lead pipe, I want the dog to disable that weapon immediately for their own safety. I mean one hit to the head with a sturdy weapon and the dog is dead. Why people are selling them as PPD when they are more suited for sport is beyond me. My question is does anyone know someone that sells PPDs, or has a good training system that includes targeting weapons? Money is not a big issue. Please and thank you for your time :).

Where are you located?
Willing to travel? I know of an individual who puts out excellent PPDs.

Crazy. How is a PP Dog supposed to stop a bullet? Must be a robot dog out there for the money you want to pay?

I am located in southeast Michigan and am willing to travel. To beetree, I am not talking about a dog to stop bullets. I'm not an idiot. But a dog to target the arm with a weapon in it (ie. Stick, pipe, maybe a wrench you never know). The dog shouldn't associate getting hit to bite harder. It should think I'm getting hit, I want to stop that so I'm going to bite the arm that is causing the pain. You get what I am trying to say? I don't want to waste 15,000-30,000$ on a dog that will take hits, and get itself potentially seriously injured.

What's with all these threads, members trolling??

$15-$30k?
Red red red flag for any trainer who sells dogs that high.

Something's afoot. Yes. A dog should be able to walk on water and raise the dead for that amount of cashola. Just remember PT Barnum and what he said about, SUCKERS.

Moose, 

An honest dogman who isn't in it to sell you BS, will sell you a dog with dog abilities to compliment your own sense of survival.

 

GOOD LUCK, watch your wallet!

Maybe moose is the donald, and he needs a dog to take Cleveland with him this summer...ya never know :-) 

Call bergit hall, alertk9, she's got good dogs and isn't a crook.
 

what a bunch of stupid responses to a honest question, the OP is absolutely right that many PP dogs offered are trained sportdogs at best and will not really protect when shit hits the fan

goes the same for the policedogs and is discussed on many different topics all the same,

like I say it is about breeding and genetics, I have a real nice IPO trained dog here that is sold to me because he targets the arm with stick, instead of the sleeve ( he is sold already will fly out next week),

these type of dogs normally wont be used for breeding in the top sport world so wont bring many offspring and wont sell pups easy because lack of braggingrights, but these are the strong dogs many are looking for

If the 3 amigos, ( joanro, beetree and vk) can't give members good advice then shut up and go elsewhere, take this as a warning. Your snide remarks are starting to grind on my patience.
