It is a strange bred, both territorial and good hunters. Awesome dogs. That no nonsense face and taught body. I wish I had a couple.

By default a good guard dog needs to be around and stay around to do his job.

I've owned many hound dogs and my hounds, if they pick up a good scent on something interesting, will bolt and they are gone - real gone. Sometimes for days. This is not the characteristic of a good watch dog.

Not to say they can't defend you, they just have to be there first.

And my daughter’s will eat anything given the chance. He’s particularly fond of deer poop. And we have lots of that around here, all over my backyard.
