German Shepherds, here is some info. on them.
General Appearance
A German Shepherd Dog is a trotting dog, and its structure has been developed to meet the requirements of its work. General Impression-- The gait is outreaching, elastic, seemingly without effort, smooth and rhythmic, covering the maximum amount of ground with the minimum number of steps. At a walk it covers a great deal of ground, with long stride of both hind legs and forelegs. At a trot the dog covers still more ground with even longer stride, and moves powerfully but easily, with coordination and balance so that the gait appears to be the steady motion of a well-lubricated machine. The feet travel close to the ground on both forward reach and backward push. In order to achieve ideal movement of this kind, there must be good muscular development and ligamentation. The hindquarters deliver, through the back, a powerful forward thrust which slightly lifts the whole animal and drives the body forward. Reaching far under, and passing the imprint left by the front foot, the hind foot takes hold of the ground; then hock, stifle and upper thigh come into play and sweep back, the stroke of the hind leg finishing with the foot still close to the ground in a smooth follow-through. The overreach of the hindquarter usually necessitates one hind foot passing outside and the other hind foot passing inside the track of the forefeet, and such action is not faulty unless the locomotion is crabwise with the dog's body sideways out of the normal straight line.
Owning
The German Shepherd Dog is known throughout the world for his uncanny intelligence and faithfulness. This versatile breed has well-earned the reputation as family companion, guide dog, police dog, and, of course, herder. The German Shepherd Dog is an excellent house-dog, but if you live in an apartment or a small house you will need to give your dog daily exercise. They are excellent travelers and love to ride in the car for long trips. They are truly a companion and can be taken everywhere - fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, etc

Definately Doberman Pinschers. I have had them all of my life. They are kind and loyal to their owners and VERY intelligent. They all have a natural instinct to protect their master and property and will always alert you to wanted or unwanted visitors. There is nothing like the sight of people running in terror at just the sight of a dog but for some reason a Doberman will do this. Trust me, from experience, people are terrified of them. Even of the ones who are big babies and would only drown them in slobber.

German Shepards are great. If you already have some expieriance with dogs and training then you can go with something like the Argentinian Dogo. Or a Cane Corso. Very protective.

Mastiffs!!! They are the biggest dog, and very very respectable of their owners. Their one of the biggest and smartest dogs you can get. They run for about $1,000 but are totally worth every penny. They were known in the past to guard castles and hunt lions. So they are very protective of their owners. I'd research them to see if their right for you. :)

i believe probable a german shepard. cops use them and guard dog trainers are more apt to train a shepard than any other dog. if you have a more "vicious" protective dog they won't train them.
