Cane Corso, Pitbull, Rottweiler, or Amercian Bulldog....Which breed is the best at gaurding and protecting?

Answer 1

They are all good choices for protection. We currently have American Bulldogs and a Pit Bull. Both are excellent. My Pit Bull does a great job or protecting the house and lets us know when someone is at the door.

Our American Bulldog growls and barks at anyone that comes in the yard, outside.
Rottweilers are great as well. We used to have one and he wouldn't let anyone come near us . I remember walking him one day and some man come running at me and that dog sat in front of me growling. Needless to say the guy turned and went the other way.
All have known that when we are with them, things are fine. None of them have ever bitten anyone while I was standing there with them.
Just remember that you are the boss and teach your dog that as well. Some of the breeds you are looking at can get well over 100 pounds and if you can't keep them in control it won't matter how good of protection they are.
We researched Corso's but have never owned them. Everyone we talk to say, they are great.
Do your research, talk to breeders and other owners. Then make your decision.
The best thing to do is choose the dog and then have it trained. You can have them protection trained or Schutzund trained(sp?) and it will be well worth it.

Answer 2

Either the Cane Corso or the Rottie. Like an earlier poster said, the pitties are actually bred to be very people friendly, so even though they look tough and have a bad rap, they're not protection dogs.

If you truly want a protection dog, you need to get one trained in Schutzhund. These dogs are awesome guard dogs and supremely trained. Many dobes, GSDs, and belgians are trained in this field.

Answer 3

Cane Corso or Rottweiler. Pitbulls are actually friendly to people but will tear apart another dog.

Answer 4

None of the above.

If you want a guard or protection dog, buy a trained one from a K9 facility. It will most likely be a German Shepherd.

Buying just any breed of dog and expecting it to be a protection dog is like buying any thoroughbred horse and expecting it to be a winning race horse.

Throughout history, the dog usually noted for overall protective qualities without any formal training has been the mongrel - the mutt. It happens when several breeds are mixed into one dog and that dog bonds with his/her owner.

Answer 5

well to start off with the cane corso is a very powerful breed and it not for everyone it requires alot of dedication and patience and if treated badily can be very very dangerous so use caution when conserdering this breed me i would get a german shepard or rotty from a dog expert!

Answer 6

CANE ARE THE BEST FOR PROTECTION BUT THEY ARE HARD ON PEOPLE LIKE FRIENDS AND FAMILY.ROTTS ARE NEXT BUT THEY DONT LIVE LONG,PITS ARE TO EASY WITH PEOPLE AND PITBULL LOVER DONT NEED THE GUARD DOG IMAGE SO HELP US BY TAKING ON ANOTHER BREED OTHER THAN A PIT BULL

Answer 7

Rottweiler. Very protective of property, and people. Mine wouldn't even have to do anything. Once people saw him, they'd go the other way. Just on looks alone, the Rotty is the most intimidating. But VERY intelligent, and gentle. (To it's masters that is). Most people are afraid of them due to their reputation.

Answer 8

Neither... But I would say my wife, She won't let me near an ATM....Sheesh

But I do like the Cane Corso

Answer 9

Rottweiler. It is the most pugnacious and is a excellent guarding dog.

Answer 10

Rottie, far and away. Just read up on the history of the "butcher dog" and you will see that the rottie has been bred for just the purpose you describe.
