Anonymous Coward User ID: 884417 United States 05/26/2022 10:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We locked in a house in November for 3% interest. We had the hardest time finding a place and put in bids on about 8 different properties. Quoting: JimmyBones We were renting at the time with the constant reminder we could have been asked to leave as we were in a month to month lease so we could find a home. The house is 50 years old and needs some work but my wife sees the potential and my daughter will have stability. (she's moved 6 times in 11 years for my work) We are going to slowly upgrade where we can and take our time renovating as now's not the a great time to be buying building materials. We hope to pay it off way early so we are paying an extra 300 per month. I suspect the markets falls dramatically and if so we just sit tight and ride it back up. There is a major shortage here for houses in the mountains. Don't pay $300 a month extra if you have a 3% mortgage. Just save the cash in the bank or invest it instead. Well I do invest and put some into savings as well as a 401k and stock grant program. We intend of paying a little extra for a year or two and shave off some time. Appreciate the advice for sure. New homeowner so I'm all ears for opinions and things. Someone with a brain.. Have had nothing but aussies for 30 plus years. Fiercely defend their home and people. Most intelligent dog out there. Train super easy even for complex tasks. Perfect temperament. I have trained my current aussie not to bark when someone crosses the property line.. but to instead, come and get me. Which he does every time. His job is to watch out the windows.. which he does all the time and if he sees anything cross the line, he comes and gets me.. I get the rifle and we take a look. |

Quoting: Dammien I suppose your dogs fire ar15's from their collars? I thought you meant in a Chinese sort of way, just in case you get desperate. Explain, what does that mean? Well as a last resort Fido may be chow. They do that in China not out of desperation but cuisine. |

Reebl User ID: 82222854 United States 05/26/2022 10:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The best 'breed' of dog, is one that is your best friend. My best friend, is an 86 lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. Seriously smart dog, and good luck putting a hand on him if he don't want you to. He stays by me every minute, sleeps with all ears open, nothing happens without him knowing about it. A masterful lizard and squirrel hunter, is also a very good plus.

Look fierce and sound the same and people stay away. Very loyal to the family. I have had a Doberman and a Rottie as well. Quoting: NJman1619 Pits are lethal, never use them in a prepped or survival situation. they will attack and kill other animals and vulnerable humans (kids) that will be seaking shelter. That's why they aren't used by the military or police, its Russian roulette with an M1911. |

The bicolor is DDR bred, didn't know it when I rescued her, but glad I got her now. She's kick *ss. No one gets through my door to house or car door with her around. I do have to do proper introductions and keep her leashed with new people, she's SUPER protective and a bit reactive, moreso than the old man was (deceased now), so I do have to watch her around strangers on my property or that get close to my car. With that said, I can take her out in public, NO PROBLEM, angel, absolute angel, but when it comes to protecting our home and me in our car, she goes from sweet angel to devil dog! |
InTheGLPHood User ID: 76340841 United States 05/26/2022 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My bicolor DDR bred GSD couldnt do this, but she did everything else, including the walk of death at my trainers (only dog in her class that did it) first time I asked her too. Trainer was former military trainer and was impressed with her willingness and confidence to try, she's no slouch. I was proud of her. My hubby and I had to take her through a lot of professional training (we did it during covid BS) because she's a lot of dog, but I'm so glad I did, now I have a wonderful dog. She'll protect me and she's good in public. |

Quoting: Halfbreedgal 83276748 Ditto, the females are the bomb, I had a lady that I bought my first GSD from (besides the one I had as a kid & the one my grandmother had) and she was a breeder too, for 50 years...is deceased now, but she told me, it's the female that will be first to the door to protect you...and this female I rescued (the bicolor) is that way :) |

When mine runs at me, I can only imagine the terror I would feel if he meant harm. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81815174 I've seen those dogs going holly shit...I don't think I'd want the feed bill :) THey are pretty cool looking though. And yeah, I don't think anyone would want to take one on without a gun. |
