My dog has successfully chased 2 people out of my yard. At this point if someone steps foot on my property without my permission I see that as a threat on my life. like WTF are you doing in my back yard...

My old Rottie was trained in a dog school meant for German shepherds. After the first 2 blokes tried the attack suit thing they refused and I had to bring a jackass friend with extra padding with. XD

Dogs need more training. Disappointed.

In a week they will allegedly break in elsewhere and allegedly rape or allegedly kill the homeowners.

Such a sad day

The man sustained injuries to his arms and legs. He was arrested and charged with housebreaking and theft, and later taken to a medical centre under police guard.


He is expected to appear in the Hermanus magistrate’s court on Wednesday.

Warning, very graphic....

While taking note of your warning and not watching the video, if someone's dogs were viciously attacking someone there is no way I'd be going over the fence or into the yard to try to stop them. That is a surefire way to just end in the same position on the ground as the previous person they attacked. I'd call the police though.

Good dog.
I've 2 large Rottweilers and a Boerboel and I would hate to have to clean up after they got hold of someone.
Oh and if I'm home I'm armed.

Being armed is nice but you can't shoot someone in your yard to my knowledge and dogs can go for someone if they breach your property. My dogs are family but they are also my first and primary line of defense to intruders.

you can shoot someone anywhere if they threaten your life, not that long ago a woman in Cape Town dispatched a hijacker with extreme prejudice in broad daylight, stuck in traffic on a public road

was ruled self defense

the clue is in 'threaten your life'. You have to actually be in actual danger. Dude in yard = not in danger.

FYI = You HAVE to have BEWARE OF THE DOG sign up on all entry points as well. Otherwise you are potentially in for a heap of trouble.

I'll have to disagree on that. If you have followed the news in any way over the last few years you'd consider a stranger in your yard as a danger to yourself and your family. .
