I am looking for a dog for home security, what large dog will not hurt my cat and older male dog?

Sweetkneez asked:


I have a medium size yard that is fenced but live very
near Grade Schools and High Schools, the children walk past
my yard frequently, I do not want a breed that is aggressive
with children or other pets. I live on a corner, we also
have wild rabbits and many, many squirrels and birds but I
live in a city. I am disabled and not able to walk the animal daily, but my husband insists that he wants a large dog. Please answer my question as best you can. Has anyone
ever heard of a Tatra dog? From Poland? How would I find
one?

    German Sheperd, or you can go to your local apl and ask them if they have dogs that were trained for that,.

    German Shepards are really good dogs for what you are needing.

    Rottweiler. They are just big muffins and only look mean. They are gentle and will protect your home if needed. Just make sure it is well trained and socialized. Good luck!!

    Tatras are huge, about the size of a St Bernard. Might want to look into retired Greyhounds.

    Your husband wants a large dog, and then I guess he is planning on walking the dog twice a day or more, a medium sized yard isn’t going to cut it. You have a medium sized yard then you should have a medium sized dog and it will get most of its exercise within the yard, being that you live in the city and there is so much foot traffic around you should stay away from anything that is aggressive.
    I would recommend a mutt from the humane society, pond of whatever you call it in your neck of the woods. A dog from there will be fixed (healthier and less likely to roam), have its current shots and be checked out by a vet all for a fraction of the price on the outside.

    There is a link for a Tatra dog below, (it is not a city dog!)
