just wondering what age (roughly) guarding instincts kicked in with your dogs?
since mine is a ambull x boerboel it will be hard to tell....unless both breeds come in around the same age but i cant find any info on the ages it starts. but both say ambull and boerboel are excellent guard dogs naturally... just curious really... i know mines only 12-13 weeks but shes scared of most things lol...if a bird lands on the fence outside she will run away, she wont go to the other end of the garden if its dark....lol and she LOVES everyone... last night i was sat outside with her about 10pm so it was dark and she heard a car pulling up....she didnt go to look but stayed near me and was looking about, then she walked to garden fence...which was right next to me, heard someone walking up the lane and she was jumping up wagging her tail at him lol... no guarding instinct at all hahaha if it was my old boxer he would of been barking, growling and trying to jump the fence....in the daytime he was alot calmer...but at night he would see everyone he didnt know as a threat if they were outside his property. iv noticed when she hears noises she will sit at the garden gate looking out....not sure if she wants to go back in because shes scared....or if she is guarding lol so thats why im wondering what age its meant to kick in
