Therefore, if you have never had a dog before, this sheep dog is an ideal choice for a beginner.

This term ensures that the adopter will not miss such things as new dropouts, for example, since this is exactly what we are fighting. Many people do not understand all this care. For us, this is not about getting rid of animals. If we take them out from the street, put them in our house, spend our time and our money with them, we cannot sacrifice to anyone. She needs to be shown that she will take care of them.

The risk of falling is really great and, contrary to what many people imagine, falling from low floors is equally dangerous; For dogs, this is taken into account if the available space matches the size and nature of the animal; They must have the financial means to help them; Agree that the animals are delivered personally by one of us to check the conditions that our animals will take care of. We understand that today the uncertainty is very high, so we work as transparently as possible, and we can always clarify any doubts or concerns that may occur, but we cannot give up our lives personally.

Do amazing speed, she is strong. The dog has a well-developed instinct for the protector and the guard, and such devotion is rarely to be found. Council of cynologist - if you still doubt what breed to choose to protect your home and the site, put on the German Shepherd, just can not go wrong.


2. Next on the list of protected breeds is rottweiler. Rumor has it that in his old age he can go crazy and pounce on his master. In fact, this is a devotional dog and has a sound mind. From her it turns out a great guard. It is more difficult to raise babies of her breed than puppies of a German shepherd. And it is also very easy to spoil, and in the end he will not be your pet, but you will become his wards.

It also takes into account whether the temperament of the animal meets the expectations of the new owners, whether there are allergic people in the family and whether all family members agree with the adoption. We want everything to work to ensure that the new family is very pleased with its fluffy companion.

The next procedure is to fill out a form with some requirements, and it is at this point that the person realizes that the family who wants to adopt an animal has the necessary conditions. Castration is intended to prevent and prevent random breeding. In addition, he aims to tame the behavior of the animal, making it more sociable. Currently, castration is the most effective way   prevent the spread or spread of domestic animals that live on the streets, such as dogs and cats.



3. Bronze medal won moscow Watchdog. She even throw and bark is not necessary on outsiders. Enough of its huge size and Pruszcz of this monster power. But when the dogs are trained for protection, they spend more time with the watchdog than with the two first representatives of the barking "security". Plus, to train this breed on the fact that they guarded it their owners, is also not worth it. It is better to conduct a general training course.

The animal protection group is in favor of castration, since an animal that is not neutered can reach thousands of descendants, both bitches and cats, over the course of 06 years. Castration consists of an operation on dogs and cats, both male and female, so that they do not multiply wildly. After six years, the bitch and her offspring can breed up to 73,000 puppies! In the case of cats, this number is even greater, about 240 thousand kittens! These are really scary numbers, unknown to most people. This explains the serious problem of overpopulation of these animals with the death of thousands of them.



4. Another healthy powerful breed with a beautiful name. alabai. Otherwise, it is called the Central Asian Shepherd. Of course, none of the bandits would want to mess with this seemingly furious, huge dog. Alabai requires constant monitoring. He must know for sure who the leader is the person or he. Do not hesitate when training to scold the puppy shepherd, if he is a headache.

This can be avoided with the help of information. With the castration of the animal there will be no unwanted puppies, which will avoid the subsequent fallout. In addition, the number of abandoned animals that would have been sacrificed will significantly decrease. In addition, this procedure brings great benefits to castrated animals and improves their own health.

Sterilization is performed in a surgical procedure, which consists in removing the female's uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, as well as the testicles of the male, thus avoiding unwanted animals. Sterilization in women should be carried out before the dog enters the first estrus and breeding herds before the first 10 months pass. This is an operation that avoids fertilization, as has already been denied. It is necessary that the operation was performed by an experienced specialist, and the animal must be anesthetized.



5. Talk about boxers. This is a flexible, loving children, calm and devoted breed of dogs. They make excellent guards. They are very mobile, so Boxers must constantly participate in games, races, for example, behind your bike.

Castration of a man is much easier and faster, without needing after surgery, so carefully. The operation of females, in turn, is already more complicated, and its duration is about 03 times longer than that of the male. In addition, in the postoperative period there is more care, requiring observation for several days until complete recovery.

Castration includes some myths, true or false, that they talk about this procedure in animals. Castration truths: castrated animals roam less. Dogs and cats leave women warm behind themselves and tend to run away from where they should try to mate. With sterilization, animals are less prone to wandering and, therefore, less prone to injury, abuse, theft or loss.



Doberman, staffordshire terrier   and cane Corso   also good guards. But they have a thin fat layer and wool is a bit short for evil frosts. Therefore, you should not choose them for open areas.

When training a certain breed of dogs for protection, all features of the site on which the house is located are taken into account. Adjacent whether it is open or closed. One caveat - it is noted that to train a dog on fenced grounds it is better to invite a canine specialist - you yourself will never manage. The animal will simply lie down in a booth or in another place convenient for it, and what is good, will also fall asleep, looking at how its weird owner and his equally incomprehensible friend-assistant jump on the site. But even if you still “persuade” the dog to obey you and carry out your orders, you need to remember that self-training can lead to gaps and shortcomings in bringing up the dog. Then you can not trust such a guard.

A castrated animal does not urinate in all corners. Behavioral problems, such as the desire to delimit the territory, are diminished or eliminated. Castrated animal fights less. Aggression against other males is usually associated with a feud of females and, therefore, is behavior associated with sexual activity. Therefore, castrated males fight less with each other.

Castration reduces the risk of health problems. The risk of animal development in some types of cancer in the elderly is significantly reduced during castration. Castration also prevents the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. Castrated females do not enter into heat. This means that there are no restrictions on how they can walk, travel, and the house will never bleed.

For residents of cities and small towns, the dog is a family member and best friend, without having any responsibilities.

Another thing - a private country house, where the dog also serves as a guard. Therefore, when choosing a pet for a private home, it is necessary to focus on such factors as breed, character, abilities, size, etc. After all, the reliability of protection and integrity of livestock of livestock and poultry will depend on this.

Castration avoids the appearance of a new litter. The puppies are beautiful, but we all know that there is no home for them, and the fate that awaits them is to live in terrible conditions or to be sacrificed for the inability of society to keep them in shelters. The number of animals that can be born from one woman in all their reproductive life is huge. During castration, the number of dead animals decreases.

Castration Myths: Castration is a cruel act that many believe that castration causes an animal to suffer. nothing! Castration is carried out in veterinary clinics and is carried out using anesthesia of animals, surgical stitches, anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics.

For example, in a private village courtyard you should not get evil, aggressive hunting dog   with a well-developed hunting instinct.

First of all, to provide better protection, dog should be medium or large   and tied only to the owner and the rest of the household. To strangers dog must show distrust. In addition, the ideal guard would be a dog, the most unpretentious in nutrition and maintenance. The presence of wool cover is welcome, as the animal lives on the street.

The animal will feed off after castration sterilization independently, does not determine that the animal becomes obese. Obesity depends on several factors, such as inadequate diet or excessive consumption, little or no physical activity, the body's hormonal speed, etc.

The cost of castration is expensive to pay for castration, of course, less than the costs associated with raising litters and a large number of litters, which may result in failure. But if the value of castration still does not depend on your financial condition, ask for help from people who volunteer with abandoned animals or in veterinary clinics. There are several castration campaigns at low cost!

Among other things, a guard dog must have intelligence and be easy to learn.

What breeds are not suitable for the protection of a private house?

As mentioned earlier, to protect country house   Do not choose dogs of hunting breeds, as they will be constantly distracted by domestic animals. Fighting dogs   (pit bull terriers, bull terriers, etc.) are also unsuitable for protection. These breeds are originally bred to participate in dog fighting, they are very aggressive towards other animals and at the same time rather loyal to people. Therefore, the guards of them will not work.

Male castrated loses masculinity. Men are castrated, do not become homosexuals. Animals only copulate for procreation, not for pleasure. Just breeding instinct ends. Women must have at least one child before castrating. The earlier a woman is sterilized, the less likely the development of a tumor of any type. Ideally, sterilization should occur before the first heat.

In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, castration is also very important and necessary for the health of animals, avoiding some serious diseases that can lead to death. In addition, castrated animals are calmer and calmer, and therefore leaks cease. The Four Paws Protection Group for Animals offers on its website that castrating animals are very important for both men and women, as we shall see.

Dogs that do not have undercoat, too, can not serve as a guard in a country house, as in the winter season they will freeze, which is unacceptable in the street. And the last category - rescue dogs. Initially, the breed was bred specifically for the rescue service and animals have almost no anger towards humans.

Why castrate men: avoid demarcating the territory. Avoid aggression caused by constant sexual arousal. Avoid testicular tumors. Controlling the population, avoiding an increase in the number of street animals. If we consider how often the male animal will be able to mate throughout its reproductive life, it would be more convenient to reduce its sexual attraction to females through castration. The “whole” animal is constantly excited by every female smell in the heat, without mating, irritation and arousal, as a result of which many avoid it.

Breeds of dogs for the protection of a private house

Of the many breeds of four-legged defenders can be identified several of the most popular. First of all it german Shepherd, which has a number of advantages, allowing to consider this breed as universal:

  • excellent learning ability and ability to train;
  • high intelligence and unrivaled sensitivity;
  • unpretentiousness to the living conditions and content;
  • distrust of strangers.

For all these reasons, the German Shepherd can rightfully be considered a leader in terms of the watchmen of a country house. There is a popular opinion among the people that dogs of this breed do not need any kind of upbringing, since they already possess all the necessary qualities by nature, but this is far from being the case. German Shepherd Dogas well as dogs of other breeds need competent education   and training. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to sad consequences.

The owner must overcome prejudices, something that is inherent only to people, and think of castration as a benefit to your animal. Why women neuter: avoid unwanted mating, especially when you have several pets. Avoid breast cancer in adulthood. Avoid pyometra in adult females. Avoid frequent episodes of "psychological pregnancy" and its consequences as nipple infections. Avoid perpetuation of genetically transmitted diseases, such as epilepsy, limp-femoral dysplasia, juvenile cataracts, etc. this eliminates the uncomfortable blood loss of females in the heat, as well as unpleasant meetings of men at the door of their residence.

Sheepdogs

Central Asian and Caucasian Shepherd Dogs   They can also be considered reliable watchmen. In dogs of these breeds, the instinct of personal territory is already well developed from birth, so you will not have to make any additional efforts to train them. However, one should take into account the fact that Middle Asians and Caucasians are very freedom-loving animals, therefore, already with early age   they should be taught to obedience and order. Otherwise, the large size of the pet, along with his willfulness, can lead to sad consequences.

As for animals on the streets, there is no doubt that castration is perfect, that is, everyone should be neutered. However, when it comes to animals that have a pedigree, or when the owner has a desire to get puppies from his pet, the pet guardian must consider whether he or she wants to undergo surgery, because the method is final and, therefore, more than castration is invasive, there is still some danger, whatever it may be. However, it is noted that it is erroneous to believe that castration should be carried out only on street animals; if your guardian does not think about having puppies of your woman, whether with a pedigree or not, the best solution is to subject the animal to castration, as it prevents a pregnancy that did not expect, or, every 06 months, prevents the animal from entering which can happen.

Central Asian Shepherd Dog - a giant dog, reaching 80 cm at the withers. The coat is of medium length with good undercoat, capable of self-cleaning and does not require special care. Alabai easily tolerates both heat and cold. This dog-owner, will carefully monitor all family property, whether it is any things or the territory of the yard. Domestic cattle, as well as the households themselves, will not be left without attention of the shepherd. In a foreign territory, this “bear” is absolutely not aggressive, loyal to children. Able to make decisions independently.

Castration performed on animals is very important because it guarantees a much healthier and more peaceful life for your animal, as well as a life that is much more peaceful and comfortable for those who care. Crimes against animals are now increasingly growing due to the increase in ill-treatment in general and from practices that have been condemned more often, which is directly proportional to the increase in the number of animals that suffer from cruel treatment.

The work presented was intended to inform the public that this practice can no longer be tolerated at the time in which we live and must end completely, since animals that have been mistreated and refused have no means to protect and therefore their rights.

Caucasian Shepherd Dog no less big dog, "Adoring" to protect their territory. She is taciturn and very independent, some individuals may show aggression, so you should not leave Caucasians with children. Recognizes only one owner, the rest of the family belongs exactly. The beautiful "fur coat" heats well in winter, but in the summer heat overheating is possible. From a very early age requires strict upbringing and training, otherwise you risk raising a monster.

South Russian Shepherd Dog -   highly big dog   with spectacular appearance and snow-white length of wool, requiring special care, as it is very quickly clogged with debris, it gets dirty and tangles appear on it. As a result of illiterate dog training, the dog may become unruly and aggressive. In relation to children, there are both vicious and friendly individuals.

Other guard dog breeds

Breed dogs moscow Watchdog also considered excellent watchmen.

Black terriers   also belong to the number of guard dogs. The breed was bred on the territory of our country during the times of the Soviet Union.

And another disadvantage is the presence long wool, requiring special care, so your pet is likely to feel not very comfortable on the street.

Rottweilers   - Another popular breed of guard dogs, even though it has short, smooth hair. This is explained by the fact that the Rottweiler has a well-developed undercoat, which serves as protection from the cold. Dogs of this breed have the most advanced guard qualities:

But in fact, Dobermans are intelligent, docile and perfectly calm animals, well trained in training. However, improper upbringing can lead to serious problems.
