I have had 3 on the list and agree they are great. Have had Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren and German Shepherd.

I will add this: if you want a dog that will let you know when something is happening on your property, buy a Chihuahua. I worked on a particular farm, and she put the big dogs to shame.

No Rottweiler?

BS. My Boxer will die for me, and do some major damage.

A Chihuahua is a redneck burglar alarm, good for your car as well.

Well, it didn’t actually take long to click through. As I hoped, the German Shepherd was number 1.
We have a German Shepherd bloodhound mix. She has the instincts and intelligence of a German Shepherd, and the nose of a bloodhound. Great dog, and very loving.

All seem reasonable except the staffordshire terrier, which has a nasty documented history of killing its owners or others unrelated to any guarding of the family. Some of them are great, some are deadly and there’s no way to tell the difference until one day, doggie snaps and/or kills. As guard dogs, they aren’t that easily trained. They are less likely to bark to protect the property and are more likely to attack without warning. I think a yappy dog would be better than a staffordshire terrier.

I actually prefer a "come see" dog.

Boxers are the best! There are better guard dogs but boxers are the best all around dog for me. They are perfect in my eyes.

I still remember, lol. The Chihuahua running like an arrow shot from a bow, the big dogs behind . . . and me, thinking “oh, crap.”

We have a German Shepherd. Only 10 months old and already a great guard dog.

This is true.
My smallish Portuguese Podengo Medio maintains watch from atop the flat file cabinet in my art room, which faces the lane, and it’s she who sounds the first alert of anyone approaching the house.
*Then* the Dobes run to the windows and put in their two cents.
It’s a good system, really.
;D
