Too easily run over or picked up and stolen, and they tend to be pets.
Only want a yard dog that you are not afraid to loose surely, not a family pet.

I have 3 working Collies and a sign on our gate that says.
We have 3 dogs and at least 1 of them bites.

Lab/collie cross in free bark mode, ours can drown out a pneumatic drill at twenty paces.

Adult boar complete with tusks, if the size doesn't put the pikeys off, they will find escape impossible with all their tyres chewed through...

They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm.

Chains can make the nicest dogs aggressive.

Mate bought a dog from Africa, it had a load of hair around its neck which he shaved off, its a lovely straw coloured animal, but has a bad habit of taking everything up into a nearby tree

yes im not so keen on german shepherds after been bitten twice by them! could do with a dog that will bark at an intruder but not actually bite!

Yes I agree and have already done some of the above but is the daytime that's the problem, security lights don't mean much then! I could close the yard gates but that would be a pita for everybody using the yard, but then leaving them open means would be theives can ride in and out willy nilly. My yard is right next to the roadside and a few houses look into it but noone would question them if there was someone in the yard. I'm thinking a dog on a long chain will be the answer

Got a big lurcher and a JR, having them coming at you at speed with the concurrent barking scares most.

Trouble with dogs is they can and do get poisoned, know of a friend who had this happen, not nice. Almost need a load of Guinea fowl, they'll be sure to let you know when anyone is about although they dont have much in the teeth department!

Farming/road haulage business up here was sick of their diesel being stolen, so he and a couple of his lads waited for them one night, caught four of them red handed (literally) roughed them up a bit while restraining them, called the coppers, result the thieves walked while he and his lads got a caution for assault and illegal restraint, with the rider they weren't being charged only because the thieves wouldn't press charges.
Later being rather peed off at this treatment, he was heard to make a comment that the next time they would end up "deid and buried" where no one would ever find them, result? more heavy handed warnings from the plod.
In fairness, that was a few years ago and things have got a bit better but not a lot, the plod would still rather have the criminals in the sticks rather than thieving from posh estates.
