which breed is the best guardian dog?

Answer 1

If you have enough land (at least half an acre; preferably an acre or more) and can deal with a large dog, I highly recommend a Great Pyrenese (sp?). They're HUGE and quite intimidating-looking, very loyal, yet very gentle with other animals and with people they know. Our GP Cody was the most wonderful dog ever. He had virtually no training; he was just naturally wonderful. If anybody came even close to our property (which is fenced), he let them know with one low growl or bark that they were on notice, and that person ALWAYS got the message. Yet he never ever went after the chickens, the goats, the horses, the cats or kittens (even when they were literally hanging onto his belly for a ride), or small children--he tolerated and protected all of them. The negative aspects of this breed are that they slobber (and when they shake their heads, that slobber is FLUNG), they are prone to hip displaysia, and they need regular grooming. But man, you've never met such a wonderful, gentle yet protective, giant.

Answer 2

i would say any dog can potentially be good at guarding. however a bigger stronger looking dog is going to do this better. for example a poodle or terrier can do the job but a staff gsd rott or mastiff can also and look the part to put people off. if its for sercurity of a business then go with a bigger breed as people will see what type of dog is guarding and be more put off breaking in with the big breed. if its for home protection people wont see the breed an as long a dog barks can be detered. if your just asking as a general question about what dog is best for guarding and dont have a particuar guard place then any breed can do this.

German Shepherd Dog

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.

Did You Know
On April 22, 1899, the German Captain Max von Stephanitz founded the Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde (SV), the first parent club of the breed now known as the German Shepherd Dog. The first German Shepherd Dog registered with the American Kennel Club was Queen of Switzerland (in 1908), who was shown in competition in New York that same year. The German Shepherd Dog Club of America's first specialty took place in Greenwich, Connecticut, on June 11, 1913.

Answer 4

I'd say doberman. I had one as a child and she was the sweetest thing in the world, but also the most protective I've ever had. Just remember.. you want a dog that will scare people, not hurt them. Dog hurts them and you're in for a lawsuit. Bye bye house. We have a standard schnauzer (not a mini, but a standard). The bark on her is mighty. They're also very neat dogs.. smart and wonderful. Something moves outside, she's all bark. Friend comes over.. she's all wiggle tail :) http://pa.4biz.us if you'd like to see her.

Pitbull? Please don't get one of those. Every one that we've come in contact with on the walks in the park were way over agressive and out of control. If you do get one..l please don't go for a walk with it on a zip line.

Answer 9

I have a chocolate lab. He's always protective of me anytime anyone he doesn't know goes anywhere near our house. He starts growling. Even when it's someone he does know he doesn't stop growling until I tell him it's OK. He isn't mean he's just protective.
