What do you think is best breed for guard dogs?

My pit will lick you and open the door for you, but once the door is open my rott is fucking you
Up and that my friends comes with a guarantee. Docile and for th most part you wot even know she is present in the house, but if shits out of routine she on point. You could leave the house door open and go to your car multiple times for groceries and she won't come out unless called. The neighborhood loves her and respects her.

 

The best guard dog is the presa canario, obviously working lines. It is a calm dog at home, with good prey. Its structure gives respect

 

Reputation help alot ,kinda what 87buick says ,people get to hear about it and less likely to try somethin.My dogs got a rep he sent one to the hospital and couple others had close calls so people dont try him.

 

man it is a loaded question. it depends on $ to shell out for a good dog and what you really want. Low cost I would roll with a rottie or american bulldog...
boerbols and filas are great but they will cost u. I hear the dogs like great pyraniese, antolians the shepard type gaurds are more animal friendly.
But the am bulldog I had ain't no joke. My buddy has to put him up when people come over, they are getting a warning nip if they get to close to him or my buddy.
and he barks all day at something strange in his neighborhood.

 

Vary true but this thread is about home security not yard security the way I understand...I personaly would not put a security dog on my yard..one dog slips one coller and u got a dead securty dog ..or worse dead bulldog....My dogs are not human agressive but I have a few that are territorial and will hurt u bad if u break into my home

 

I got an APBT in the house that if someone came in here as an aggressor and I was in the house your going to have to kill that bitch to get to me so I assume because she barks psyco style at anything that moves outside the house she would probally protect the place. I got one outside that will go nuts if someone went back there and if they get in his chainspot it may be pretty bad, id rather not find out though. I prefer a gun for home security. Dogs in general more times than not will deter most thieves simply because they draw attention.

 

RGB I had that happen bfore and luckily I was here and no damage done.I wouldnt trade mine,he is my buddy .Never once growled at me or tried to bite me.He gets top notch care.He is 8 yrs old and luckily only one slip in 8yrs.I think thats pretty good.Also ill say he isnt on a tie out all the time.He only works when I need him.He stays in a kennel with 12 ft high fencing prob about 50 ft long and 50 ft wide.And he isnt here to gaurd my APBTs just the house.

 

A smart man biter that you can keep on a chain n just move around every now n then, lol, depends on the size of the yard as to how many you have. Let a 50 LB bulldog get in someones ass n see if they want to try n steal another one again, lol.

 

Tree I got a friend that had a female Dolbi that would gaurd and stay out of chainspots.Thats the only one I have ever known.I dont know if you be lucky enough to find one that could stay out of chain spots.

 

i know a dude that had a rottie pit mix that was a fuckin monster would get in a dogs ass would get in a mans ass!! i almost shot that motherfucker one time.

 

lololol!~!!!!!!

 

I'm gonna go with a cur dog. Be it a catahoula, yellow black mouth, or Florida cur. They are big (70-80#) can stop a rank bull and are very protective of home. They are all stock dogs and can be taught to put up with cats if around them from pups. Another good side is they are loud mouthed and will make a man put on the brakes when he hears them. They are also good with kids.

Shotgun those blackmouth curs are nasty.I got a friend that got some and U wont get out of your truck if he aint there lol.

 

I am will yall, I hear Curs are great all around dogs. And the folks I know that had BMCs swear by them. I just thought of them more for hunting and around the house, not gaurding like a typical big gaurd dog but they are probably as good as any bred for it plus they are more rounded and probably smarter too.

 

I thought about a black mouth cur. Are they straight working dogs where they are hard keepers in the house? Yeah, I hear they are smart and pretty good for any task.

 

They need exercise as any high drive dog does. With that said they can be just as laid back as any dog around the house. They are very good dogs able to preform many jobs. They were bred as stock dogs first. As stock dogs guarding and protection of the home place was a high priority. Hunting was just a added bonus due to the fact of haveing to find lost cattle. The same traits that made them cow dogs made them good hog dogs. A BMC is not gonna be as wound as a running hound but more than say a trail hound such as a bloodhound. The social and guarding nature of these dogs is what makes me think they make a great all round dog. Another plus is they are not on any BSL list.

Great info shotgun...thanks

 

Can you guys post pics of these dogs? Another reason
I would go with rotts or sheperds is the look. Take one look and
A thief or worst will rething what there about to do. Hopefully the
Avoiding the whole situation. A none "look popular" breed
Not known for guarding and he might try your property.
Just food for thought. Yes your dog might do the trick
And inflict major damage,but can he serve his purpose on just looks
Alone.
