    [quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Partypup: Now, why was I thinking you’d have concertina wire, trip flares and Claymore mines on your perimeter? Huh. Must just be me.[/quote]

    LOL! Allan, if I could get away with that in a West LA rental, you KNOW I would have all that installed! Yeah, the best protection is probably a dog. And a 12 gauge. We’ve got 2 Rotties now. They’re ideal protection if you’re asleep and need to know who’s coming.

    But the real problem arises when you’re not at home. Around LA at least, there have been cases in which burglars have tossed meat laced with cyanide or another poison through mail slots to put the dogs out of commission. I love my dogs too much, so I’d rather put the ADT signs on the lawn and try to deter the bad guys that way. They might still try to harm my dogs, but I am hoping they might just move on to a house without ADT signs and barking dogs.

    Partypup: I was raised with Rottweilers and Alsatians. We had two Rotties, Odin and Thor, that were Schutzhund III trained (Odin was also IPO 3 trained).

    I don’t know if you’ve looked into Schutzhund training for your Rotties, but it’s excellent training for obedience and protection and one of the key elements is that your dogs won’t accept orders or food from anyone that isn’t part of the immediate family. Our Rotties and our Alsatian only understood German also and worked off of “key” words as well.

    Definitely worth looking into, especially because a Schutzhund trained dog is extremely obedient and very, very disciplined. Both of our Rotties were the Northern German varieties (Braunreiters) and both were in excess of 150lbs and were quite intimidating. Our Alsatian, Max, was about 115 and looked like a puppy next to the Rotties.

    Only problem we had with the Rotties was that they loved to frag cats.
