    Not important the breed.

    What is important is that it WILL attack strangers while still being trustworthy with your family ....and controllable by them under all circumstances.

    Ridgebacks are very clever dogs.

    They'll let an intruder in but won't let him out.

    And burglar adobo will be on the menu

    This small dog would have any stranger's wedding tackle off if given the chance...and would kill any creature that came our side of the wall, including at least one large rat a day, cats, chickens etc. A true PREDATOR.

    My (British) friend round the corner had the rest of her family and seven of them together was damned scary I can tell you.

    you cant under estimate a small dog, they can have a much bigger bite ,

    i inherited a small Lhasa Apso , and i can tell you though it looked cute and cuddly, it was a real gremlin, it feared nobody, it ripped into me more than once, and it would not give in no matter what,

    anyway if they dont bite small dogs are good at getting under your feet and trip you up

    The downside with the pet shark, he makes a mess giving the daily paper to his master

    Back in the 90s my friend and I came soooo close to buying a big old boat needing some restoration...moored in Puerta Galera.

    We had a night club in mind, plus living on it.

    Just been speaking to a brit who has come back to the UK from the Philippines after 14 years. I was at his wedding today - married a girl from Baguio, here in Lincoln. He reckoned it is darn near impossible, as a white man, to keep the wrong sort out over there, wherever one might be live.

    If you are lucky enough to have good family, much better to live amongst them rather than shut yourselves away in a gated.....as for the hills, not for us...its been bad enough living here what's been described as living in the mountains!

    Of course many guys get lulled into a false sense of security because they have made many visits to the philippines and nothing ever happened to them

    Scrimping on security over there really is a false economy and some guys take that route because of the costs involved

    I stayed in a 2 bedroom rented apartment in Mayfield Park in Cainta Manila and i think they had more guards there than residents

    I found that part of Manila very pleasent and walking anywhere in Cainta was fine
    I rented a house in Greenpark Cainta years ago , it was gated with a security guard , there was no trouble but I doubt the guard was anything more than a placebo to help the residents feel a bit safer , he seemed to be asleep everytime we arrived at the gate .

    Peter D,

    I'm afraid that the quote you posted by me is not correct.
    I did not say that nor did I ever stay in Mayfield Park in Cainta

    You may want to modify that.
