THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

Yeah its called you don’t. You aren’t going to find one breeder let alone FOUR, who are breeding quality animals to sell to you knowing this. One its not their job to protect you and without the right temperaments and training its not going to happen anyways. If you’re that insecure get a gun. Two I doubt very much you have the skills, time or money to handle more than one pup, hell maybe not even one.

Well, first of all I agree with the first post. Caring for even one puppy is a lot of work, not even mentioning for 4 puppies. Caring for 4 dogs ia a full time job.
You have to be extremely committed to give them the appropriate care and attention they require. Physical, disciplinary, and mental.
To care for all four different dogs, I would suggest you to study their individual breed characteristics. Each of them have various natural instincts and dominant behaviours. You have to realize why one breed may be behaving or reacting to certain training differently to another. You need to understand what would be the best method or approach to train each individual dog. Training as a group will get you no where. They have to be trained separately first, gain self confidence, and proper manners. When they can behave well individually, then you could take all four on walks, although in my mind I don’t see how that would be possible.
Also, very important is to train them how to properly walk on a leash. Just letting them run wild without a leash on the road is irresponsible. Yelling to another dog owner " oh my dogs are friendly" means you have no freaking control over them and that you are completely ignorant and disrespectful of other dog owners needs, not mentioning that it is illegal to walk your dogs leash less in residential/urban areas. Dog parks are fine, that’s why they are called dog parks.
ALSO! Very important, you mind set is not very healthy. Wanting your dogs to “protect” you is not healthy. In what way you want them to protect you? Being aggressive to other people and dogs? Not a good idea. You have to train your dogs to be submissive to you, you have to maintain control at all times. Your dogs should be listening to you and following your decisions, not the other way around. The other way around results in undisciplinary, aggressive, out of control dogs. Do you really want that?
If you have not had previous well grounded experience raising dogs, please consult a good professional. Spend the extra buck, you will not regret it. Otherwise, please do some serious thinking whether or not you can actually support 4 dogs. Their care can get very expensive, yearly checkups, vaccines, medical expenses, food, toys, supplies.
Hope I could sway you in a better way to raise your dogs.

You must be a very important person if you need four large breed dogs to protect you. Either that or you’re thoroughly obnoxious. I give your 2 months before you’re looking to dump all 4

Okay, first, lemme correct a few things, k?
-Golden Retriever - NOT Golden retriver
-Rottweiler - NOT rottweiller
-Pit Bull - More specifically American Pit Bull Terrier - NOT pitbull (it’s TWO words, k?)
-Alaskan Husky - NOT alskan husky
You could at LEAST learn how to correctly spell the breeds you want. Clearly you haven’t done an OUNCE of research on ANY of these breeds, therefore you ARE NOT ready for them. Period. All that said:
You don’t. Period. Here’s why:
1.) NO reputable breeder in their right MIND would sell you any puppies knowing you already have one at home. Period. And these are NOT breeds you want to get from any old joe that has them in his back yard. Period.
2.) Puppies DO NOT DO BETTER with other puppies around. It will set back training by a LOT, and you’ll more then likely end up with horribly trained, ill socialized law suits waiting to happen. Three of those breeds are EXTREMELY high driven, all four are HIGH ENERGY, and three of those breeds are NOT recommended for first time owners because they can be VERY difficult to train, and can be VERY hard headed. They also require a TON of socialization, an owner that can and will have complete control over every single situation, and has no problem properly asserting themselves as leader of the pack.
3.) You want these dogs to get along and protect you? NOT gonna happen. And here’s why:
-NONE of those breeds were bred for protection work. Period. Golden Retrievers were bred for retrieval work in the hunting field. Rottweilers were actually bred for herding believe it or not. The American Pit Bull Terrier was bred for a high prey drive, gameness, and dog aggression. Period. The Alaskan Husky isn’t even really a BREED, it’s still basically a mutt, that is bred for sled pulling. And the Siberian Husky was also bred to pull a sled, and also has a rather HIGH prey drive. Notice how NONE of those list protection or guarding.
-ANY dog that is well bonded with its owner WILL protect if necessary. However, dogs ARE NOT security systems, and they ARE NOT body guards. Don’t feel safe? Call ADT and get a gun. Period.
-It’s highly unlikely they will get along, the only one known for having a more submissive personality is the Golden Retriever. Rottweilers are NOT known for having a submissive personality, neither are the APBT or Husky. Period. Too many dominant dogs in one home, is NOT a good idea. Also, you have two breeds with an extremely HIGH prey drive, one of which was bred for dog aggression. See where I’m goin with this?? Unless you like the idea of watching a blood bath in the making, or coming home to a blood bath (because I’m guessing you wont be crating them when you can’t supervise, or when you’re not home), it’s not a good idea.
Get one dog at a time (I’d start with the Golden) after you’ve done a TON AND A HALF of research. Once that dog is about 1 and a half to 2 years of age, and is fully trained, then get another dog. Continue this process until you get the number of dogs you want. I wouldn’t get ANY dog until you research the problems with having multiple puppies, and do a LOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT of research on the breeds you’re looking to get. Period.
