Top 10 Guards Dogs by Princepoint(m): 9:44am On Jun 03, 2016
1. Bullmastiff – This breed is known for its physical strength, protection instincts,
courageousness, and extreme family loyalty.
If an intruder crosses its path, a Bullmastiff
will typically use its strength to knock them
over or block their path. The breed is very
docile in a family environment, however, and makes a great household pet.


2. Doberman Pinscher – If you have a large piece of property that you are trying to
protect, a Doberman Pinscher is a great guard
dog for you. This breed is incredibly fast and is
able to reach an intruder in a short amount of
time. Known as the fifth-smartest dog breed in
the world, Dobermans are fearless, alert, and loyal dogs.

3. Rottweiler – Originally bred as cattle- protecting dogs, Rottweilers are known to be
relentless protectors of their pack. They are
an intelligent breed and extremely loyal to
their owners. Rottweilers are known to be
aloof with strangers until properly introduced
to them and are very quick learners.

4. Komondor – Traditionally used to protect herds of sheep, the Komondor possesses a
natural guard dog ability. This breed is active,
courageous, loyal and known for its dignity
and strength. If properly socialized and
trained in obedience, this breed makes a
devoted family pet.

5. Puli – Pulis are known for their suspicious nature. They are always alert and will bark to
alert their owners of anything out of the
ordinary. Pulis are very smart and require
constant companionship. They make great
additions to families with active lifestyles, as
they love hiking, running, and outdoor activities.

6. Giant Schnauzer – Giant Schnauzers are strong, powerful, and dominant dogs that
require strict training. This breed requires a lot
of mental and physical stimulation and
requires constant attention. Giant Schnauzers
are powerful, compact, and intimidating. Their
extreme family loyalty makes them excellent guard dogs.

7. German Shepherd – German Shepherds are bold, confident, and fearless. They are
extremely intelligent and quick to learn
commands, thus making them a favorite
police dog breed. German Shepherds have a
calm demeanor when in a household but can
quickly react when their family or home is
threatened.


8. Rhodesian Ridgeback – Originally bred to hunt lions, this dog has a strong prey drive
and tends to be independent in nature.
Ridgebacks are loyal and make natural
watchdogs. They are said to be selective in
their barking so when a Ridgeback barks, it
needs to be taken seriously. Rhodesian Ridgebacks must be properly trained and
managed, as they are not naturally obedient.
The breed loves to cuddle and often thinks
it’s a lapdog.

9. Kuvasz – This breed is very territorial and has a strong instinct to guard its family and
home. The Kuvasz tends to be aloof with
strangers but craves affection from its family.


10. Staffordshire Terrier – Often confused with the American Pit Bull Terrier, the
Staffordshire Terrier was bred for bear and
bull fighting. Their aggressive and protective
natures make them excellent guard dogs but
require them to be properly socialized and
trained from an early age. Staffordshire Terriers make great household pets, known to
only be aggressive when protecting a family
member.
