The couple, who are expecting their first child together later this year, reportedly purchased the dogs to protect their family, according to a source who spoke with The Sun online.

Rio Ferdinand is using this vicious guard dog to increase security at his London estate.

The former England star shared a photo of himself with the German shepherd that a dog protection organisation is training.

Later this year, Kate and Rio are expecting their first child together.

Rio resides in South East London with his spouse, Kate.

They already own a Chihuahua together.

It comes after a run of well-known football player break-ins this year that targeted players like Fabinho and Dele Alli.

Rio Ferdinand worries for his wife Kate, 31, and their three children’s safety in their South East London property, as he travels for work on a regular basis.

“They already have strict measures in place, but you can’t be too careful,” the person stated.

“They also love going out for walks as a family in the countryside, so having a dog makes sense.”
