What Breed of Dog for a Motorhome ? Forums

beagle

Well if its prime role is to deter the scum....

How about not actually bothering with a real dog, but buying a very large dog bowl to leave by the MH door (possibly with the word "Tyson" on it or similar). Also a large bone to casually discard nearby, featuring impressive teeth marks (use a chisel).

I wonder if anyone manufactures an alarm which, instead of producing the usual wail (which nobody takes any notice of), plays a sampled rottweiler? Bet that would make em think twice! Dog

Hi Beagle

A "sampled" Rottweiller or the real thing?

For real Security and continues crawling we take the mother-in-law however she seems more hostile to me than strangers

I think she is a cross between a Heffer and Dobiman

Good thing is she eats anything and everything which is why we choose the Alko 5000Kg based van

One that doesn't bark.

One that doesn't poo, if it does! one that puts it in a plastic bag and disposes of it.

One that doesn't think every body loves it, especially with wet feet.

I started this post with high hopes of getting some consensus on choice of dog.. Confused

Think we will settle on >>>

How about one of these for the entertainment that you will not get from a barking alarm Laughing

Guzzijim,

I have your ideal dog, just working on the poly bag bit.
First and last time we heard her "bark" was about two months ago. It gave her such a shock she hasn't tried again. Considering that we have had her for 7 years this must be some kind of record Laughing

Hi, we have a Bichon Frise....they are adorable dogs!

1) They are small
2) They do not loose their hair, or malt
3) They are very friendly and very intellegent!
4) They don't require much excerise or food.... Smile

On the downside

1) they are white..!...not good if you plan to go for long muddy walks, but we manage
2) they are not ferocious looking

they used to be known as circus dogs as they can be trained to do pretty much anything. mine is useless as a guard dog but was trained in 10 mins flat to shake hands in return for a treat, so am sure if you wanted to you could train one to scare off burglars.
