When i was a kid my grandmas rottweiler saved me from a mauling. I was being chased by 2 strays. I was about 5 houses down i called out to him and when he saw what was goin on he ran towards me talked tf out of one stary and bit the other. We grew a strong bond after that.
As a man that has been around American Bulldogs and raised a couple over the last 17 years, I am glad you brought them up and gave them the credit they deserve. Thanks brother! If you ever get the chance I highly suggest you talk to Lem Miller, or Allan Scott about them, these men are the real experts. Peace and God bless
I am from India and my first dog was a street dog and he had a big time food aggression issue but some how in that aggressive state he use to allow me near me and never was I afraid that he may harm me. I have been blessed with so many beautiful souls over the course of my life and I wish everyone can love there pets.
I am so thrilled to see the Cane Corso on here. They are so underrated in their love for their owner. My dog was fiercely loyal. He was a Velcro dog as well, he would follow me anywhere and if I shut a door he would be there when I opened it. He would never just "go" with anyone, he would only leave with his family. I miss him with all my heart and know he could never be replaced. He died on my lap in the living room with his entire family around staring right into my eyes. I tell everyone how much that boy changed my life. Not a day goes by in the past 3 years that I don't think of him. xxoo Great Video!
My 122 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback will not even let you on my property. He ran through a glass table because someone rang the door bell. He wants all the smoke!
We have a livernose RR and she is the most loving and loyal dog in the world. Such an intelligent breed - they have a instinctual knowing if a person is even thinking of doing some harm.
@@crazycatpetera1404 He is 100% AKC certified pure bred. Went to the Vet yesterday and he was 126 pounds. He has about 5 pounds of winter weight on him right now but dosen't look fat and still looks tone. Believe it or not he was the runt of the litter as a pup.
I have an Amstaff and it’s the same with her. She doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. The only time I’ve seen her act threatening is when a stranger came up into the yard while I was napping on the couch. She looked like she was ready to tear them up through the window, but that was just bc they came on our property. Outside of the house she is more likely to lick you into submission than even nip at you.
I jus recently lost my pittie. He got cancer and it took him very quickly. I miss him so much. When he was dying he put his head on my head then he placed his paws across my arms as if to say it's time. I didn't want to let him to go but I could see how much he was suffering so I told him "it's ok ill be ok you can go" and he laid down and died in my arms. But even now I 😢 because I loved him so much and I miss him like crazy!!!
During the last week of her life, I Saul my Doberman, Freyja, move to get between my lady friend and someone who came to the door. Right up until the very end, this wonderful dog was willing to sacrifice herself for us. She was truly an amazing creature!
Fine video here, and mighty swell picks. Dogs truly are man's best friend, the most loyal creatures on the planet. I remember watching a story on RUclips about a pit bulldog that took three shots from a home intruder to protect his human family. One of those shots was to the head, but the lady of the bulldog says that he still kept going at the intruder. Don't worry, the dog survived. Dogs like that have even given their lives for their masters for sporting events like the ones talked about here. A hound with so much grit and loyalty, it would fight a bull because the master wants him to.
Yea its nice but he needs to get out more in the bulldog world there's more than the smushy big 130 lb bully type.. good looking standard type males at 75-110 lbs that are athletic and functional.
I’ve had and lived with 4 pit bulls over the years and still have one now. They are lap dogs, baby sitters, great with kids, most loving dogs i would agree. And I would agree they are selfless and would protect their family to the death. Mine would lay next to my one year old and walk next to her so she could hold on to him while she learned to walk... absolutely amazing!
I adopted two big boys, 4 years old Belgian Malinois and a 1 year old German Shepherd. Both are sweet, and protective of me. I love them for life, and I know they do the same too.
Dobermans are special Velcro loving pups who live for their family without exception. My beloved Dobie passed at nearly 13 years and I love her no less todsy. She was 95 lbs as an adult half American, half European. She was my protector her entire life. My European Doberman pup proves from early on to be an aggressive loyal love for our family without reservation. She just turned one year and proves the difference between American and European Dobermans can be recognized early on. My girl has been socialized by an amazing trainer I never needed for my beloved Dobie past but essential for this European. Guard dog this one was born and significantly different from my first Dobie. And by the way, Dobermans are the only dogs I will ever get. They are the most gentle Velcro guard dogs you'll ever be blessed to have. They're funny and michevious and sweet beyond belief.
My son got a pittie in college and I was like nooooo, but now, she's the best dog I've ever had the pleasure of being with! She's so full of joy and goofiness but I know if anything ever happened, she has my back. Love her so much! I would never hesitate to have one.
True dat, especially when it comes to kids: Our boy will F you up if you even think about hurting "his" son. I Would trust my life on him when it comes to that.
I'm with you! When we go for our walks, my girl is always looking out for me. When another dog lunged at me my Mitzy jump between us. My dog weighs 50 pounds; the other dog weighs about 70 pounds. Now, whenever we see the other dog, it respects my space.
We've been married for 43 years and have always owned at least one APBT if not more. They are fantastic family pets. But, I am an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. Thank you for this video.
I’ve had an APBT and now have a Cane Corso and I agree 100% . Love the videos and your in-site bro. Your a big part of why I went with the corso. Thanks for your knowledge and passion.
Not true. Some Doberman and German Shepherds have had that instinct bred out of them for pets. If you want the intelligence and inate protectiveness of German Origionated dogs, you have to get Euro bred dogs as their breeders are trying to keep them origional in their genetics and healthy with no or little DNA changes or inbred dogs. These are your top dogs! American bred german breeds are all messed up with their genetics. Go Euro!
@@grammyd8361 thats Not True i live in Germany and the breeders breed the protectiviness out of the breeds they make them after Many years of Good work unhealthy because of Looks there most showlines they make them to Family pets for cuddle thats terrible there Not many good breeders i think the goverment is a Problem to here there dont want guard doogs with aggressiveness they are many dog breeds that is forbidden here to take them like the pitbull and many Others because they say there are to aggressive and they only breed for fight and the newspapers wrote only bullshit about the breeds .i think the breeders in american they make a Better Job they took the Original dna genetic from the german guard dogs from the Time of the ddr the Time before the germans make them to showlines and breed now very Good dogs because the american knows what the dog is for . They are for protective ! The german breeds from the USA is better for me
Ideally yes but when you think about it that’s unlikely. Even humans can be too cowardly to actually do anything in a bad situation even if they love someone and a dog is no different
Ever met a Rhodesian Ridgeback? My female ridgeback could walk my daughters to school on her own and I know with 100% certainty they would arrive in perfect condition. She’s extremely easy going and not aggressive at all, but if anyone was to hurt her human sisters and I - it would be on!! An unrelenting attack from a 33kg ball of muscle pure athlete. She climbs 7 foot fences to get to us, she can run for hours and she has an instinctual knowing if someone is even thinking of bad intentions towards her family. Best breed ever!! Especially with children.
It's a pretty solid list. I've got a 4 yo Dobie and a 12 yo Pit, and the Pit being the older dog would definitely still stand infront of any danger. My little 58 lb Pit has fended off Rottie and a Great Pyrenees being handled by people who weren't experienced owners or handlers.
SHHH people have no idea about them let's keep it that way look at what happened to the other dogs on this list watered down and strung out and they don't belong as house pets
I think he left them off for a reason, cause he has other videos about how much of a great working breed they are. But for most households their high work drive would be too much for the average family
I had a German Shepherd 30-35 years ago so when I wanted a good guard/watch dog in my retirement I selected another from a breeder with a “track record.” I forgot how fast they grow. At 1 year he is 90 lbs with most of that growth occurring in his first 6-7 months. He is intimidating with his looks alone. His bark after dark also becomes intimidating. No one has even attempted to come into the yard who does not already have a good relationship with him. His high energy level makes him a bit much to handle at times, but his intelligence is so keen that it imposes acceptable self-monitoring. If you are going to have a German Shepherd you will need a good fence to define his area. He is very observant and truly impressive in every way.
YES!!!!! I have a 9 year old male that would rip your face off if he thought you were a threat to me. He’s always been extremely protective and very territorial. No Fufu dog here.
Solid list and on the behave of those who own a pyre I want to say thank you for acknowledging the Great Pyrenees I own two litter mates a male and a female they are 5 months now and already bigger than medium size dogs. They are great with my son and fiancé protective but playful.
Yes but in all fairness, how is he supposed to rate a top 10... it’s so subjective, every single dog owner says their dog breed is the best ever and the most protective 😂 but the truth is - most dogs that have bonded with their family will give its life to protect you, this could easily be top 50 video
The Australian Shepherd is the best family protection and herding dogs you could ever ask for. Very easy to train, they are just with you dogs. Lord save any person that touchs their kids
I knew the Pitbull would make top of the list. I lost my boy on Oct 29, 2020 three months ago and it still feels like yesterday. I miss him so much and I never realized how secure he made me feel. Someone knocked on the door and it freaked me out cuz it was like how did that person get to the door. And when I left the house I knew my kids would be ok becuz I knew my boy was there to protect his family. But I also miss his cuddles and nose nudges. :-) great list thanks for making it.
I really enjoyed this! I've owned dobermans german shepherds and rottweilers. My favorite was a dog that was 1/2 German Shepherd and 1/2 rottweiler. I also had an akita/german shepherd. I would add the Australian cattle dog or the Blue Heeler to this list although the blue heeler like the American pit bull has a lot of controversy around the breed. My family has had great experience with the fierce loyalty. Although small it it fearless and agile. They are incredibly tough to the elements, and protect property, flock and person. Thank you again for such a great video and information.
Great video! A hard list to come up with because everyone likes to believe that their dog or their breed would do it for them. But I think you've probably done close to the most accurate top 10!
Great list. I have a Doberman and he is very protective and yet very loving and sociable with people I let in my home. He has changed my view on all dogs at this point. It is never the breed, it is always the human that can help a pup live to his potential.
Thank you for bringing up APBT, my pupper is one and he's the sweetest thing. They are intelligent and very athletic, good for getting back into shape and helpful for anxiety and depression, though most dogs are good for that.
Thank you for another great video. I have issues with balance. I sometimes fall because of this. I've been thinking about getting a service dog to help me. What are your thoughts on K-9 selection?
This is a good list. It’s very hard to narrow down so many amazing breeds to just “10”. I have a Rottie and Cane Corso and I believe both would put lives on the line for us. However there are plenty others as well. Boerboel, Presa, Belgian Malinois, Turkish Kangal to name a few. But it’s not easy to break it down to just 10. You did a great job though!
I have a 66 pound Pitbull who is totally sweet and fearsome looking. But, when a bad guy comes I'm pretty sure he will totally give die for me. He's completely fearless.
Wish my friend had that kind of Pit. Fool making friends with the bad guy's lool. My friend had to get another dog because his pit was too friendly lmfaooo.
If your pitbull is true to type then he will welcome all. They are not protection or guard dogs it was bred out of there nature in the pit. It would be dangerous to teach a dog like this to be human aggressive.
I remember watching a video about hero dog awards given out per breed and they stated the German Shepherd had more heroism awards than all other breeds combined.
Αlthough I generally agree with your lists, here I have to argue a bit. We have a tangible example of Morocho, the Dogo Argentino who saved 2 young girls from Puma attack, and instead of Dogos being first on the list, by far, they are nowhere.
Cane Corsos make very loving family dogs that show much affection, unlike any breed I’ve ever seen. Very intelligent and loyal. They are also very protective of their owners.
Thanks for a great video. I'm looking for a personal protection dog to be my travel companion when I hit the road with my travel trailer. My top pick is a Belgian "Mal" but your list gave me some other breeds to consider.
Can you do a Boston terrier vs French bulldog comparison video? plz 😩you are great at explaining the differences and pointing out certain traits that people don’t notice.
great pics i thought the Belgian Malinois (spelling may be jacked up) would have been #1 if not top 3 personally i have had rotties in the past and currently have a red nose pit and a frankenstein bully mix
Great video I understand your placement of the dog breeds, we have a staffie/rhodesian ridgeback mix and she would defend anyone in the family no matter what happens to her, since quite a few ppl consider staffies pit bulls I agree with your placement although I would still put the doberman as my #1 I just think they are all about the defence of their owners, that's my opinion anyway but the put bull/staffie would be my #2 placement for sure 🐕♥️
Nowadays dogs are more loyal to us Then other people Fact:dog will not think an second to risk or give up its life for the sake of its owner We look for ourselves
Like this list! Should make one for medium and small dogs too, I’ve been around blueheelers, aussies, collies, jackrussells, catahoulas, etc. that are just as loyal and fierce as these bigger breeds. (They don’t get as much attention though because they aren’t as big)
I was hoping the that the APBT was going to be saved for last. Although I don't own them now and have focused on Olde English Bulldogges they are my favorite dog hands down!!!
What dog breed would you advise for a senior citizen for protection? The Belgian Malinois had always been a favorite or the romantic side a Irish Wolf Hound. But.... Not younger any more. Fir companion and protection. I weigh 101#'s...yeah they would outweigh me by 50-75+#'s. The dog would have to be trained. Had many smaller breeds until 15+ yrs ago. Sin has 4. Grand on mix of one of top 10. I call him "Cujo". Picture scared me sitting on top of his truck. Any suggestions aside from what shepherds used for in military. Senior military brat who needs living companion and protection. Thank you.
My German Shepherd is 12 months old and 90 lbs. His protective instincts have been apparent since 5 or 6 months old. He loves my children and grandchildren, but strangers will not only not come in my yard, they put plenty of distance between them and the yard fence. The boy is scary to the unknown.
You mean the amstaff and pitbulls in general or just the pitbull that has gameness? Because i love the amstaff that is of the ruffian blood lines, awsome video by the way
mine is the opposite, i let him meet another dog and it barked and scared the hell outta him... instead of letting him figure it out and get along i took him away, he's fearful of dogs his size or bigger... LESSON LEARNED, never making that again.
Hey Zeke, love your platform and I’m guilty of watching but only subscribed now, I absolutely love dogs but haven’t had exposure to many, that said the breed that I’m in love with, the BOERBOL, have a hard time with them not being on this list, many on this list I’m convinced would not stand between you and a bear, lion or hyena, this is not criticism, just from my research he should be on this list if not at the top keep up the good work and look forward to more thanks
You can’t forget about the mighty Chiweenie. My girl has risked her life for me multiple times and even needed stitches because she leaped in to protect me from an aggressive dog that tried attacking me but she stepped in. I didn’t have a scratch on me because of her.
Excellent list and has actual thought and fact put into the list. The only thing I would change is that none of these breeds are honestly suitable for inexperienced or first time dog owners. I feel that way about most dog breeds including small breeds.
Agree 100%. I see teenie dogs everywhere now days and a lot of the owners haven’t even taught basic commands. Think cos they think they’re cute they can get away with everything.
I would have put the German Shepherd higher, just look at all the times police and military german shepherds have died protecting their owner. Still a great video with as always!
Bruh yea as for working with dogs for over 16 years 10, 9, 8, 6 & 5 I can so agree. These were the most aggressive dogs we had to turn away. I don't know about no Pit Bull Terrier though. They freaking licked the robber. Like are you killing me? lmfaooo. Walked in the damn house this fool on the floor playing with him.
List keeps going buddy, but there is no more room for a top 10. This i believe was more on the lines of adding a little bit of everything for example, dogo is a dog made up of 9 breeds, in it the bulldog... bulldog was mentioned here. Presa canario and Belgian malinois are also great additions but we have the cane Corso and GSD which are "cousins" to those other dogs ( it is believed Roman's brought cane corsos to the carrier island and left some when they departed... the natives there mixed those dogs with their street dogs selectively to create a catch dog and pitbull is believed to have been used as well for that infamous pain tolerance and agility as well but I wasn't there to say that a pitbull was one of the dogs used in the process for sure) boerboel wasn't mentioned but looks very similar to some of the dogs mentioned here and carries similar traits so the list might get repetitive too? I don't know the exact reasons but it could have just been his personal preference which is great. Rottweilers, pitbull, and presas are might top 3 and dogos and borboel as well as cane corsos right after that. If I was a millionaire I'd have a ranch of all kinds of these breeds but thats impossible lol

Yes but in all fairness, how is he supposed to rate a top 10... it’s so subjective, every single dog owner says their dog breed is the best ever and the most protective 😂 but the truth is - most dogs that have bonded with their family will give its life to protect you, this could easily be top 50 video
French Briard. You might be surprised at this under appreciated breed.
The Australian Shepherd is the best family protection and herding dogs you could ever ask for. Very easy to train, they are just with you dogs. Lord save any person that touchs their kids
I knew the Pitbull would make top of the list. I lost my boy on Oct 29, 2020 three months ago and it still feels like yesterday. I miss him so much and I never realized how secure he made me feel. Someone knocked on the door and it freaked me out cuz it was like how did that person get to the door. And when I left the house I knew my kids would be ok becuz I knew my boy was there to protect his family. But I also miss his cuddles and nose nudges. :-) great list thanks for making it.
Great list but my Rhodesian Ridgeback Luke is #1 for me 😁❤
I really enjoyed this! I've owned dobermans german shepherds and rottweilers. My favorite was a dog that was 1/2 German Shepherd and 1/2 rottweiler. I also had an akita/german shepherd. I would add the Australian cattle dog or the Blue Heeler to this list although the blue heeler like the American pit bull has a lot of controversy around the breed. My family has had great experience with the fierce loyalty. Although small it it fearless and agile. They are incredibly tough to the elements, and protect property, flock and person. Thank you again for such a great video and information.
My first dog was a gsd/akita mix. She was an amazing dog, rly loyal and protective but such a sweet companion
So glad the Tosa-Inu was on this list..my Shogun RIP was a light switch bodyguard.and property guardian. 💙
GSD is on my top 5 list for sure. Also, I love the fact that nowadays Rottweilers are often seen with natural tails.
Great video 👍 but definitely missing the Presa Canario! I love my boy Titan and couldn't imagine my life without him!
Our Belgian Malinois, I know she would lay down her life for our family. Nothing gets by her!!!!
listing the German Shepard should cover most of it's ''cousins'' [ kinda like the American Bulldog an d Pit Bull , etc]
Great video! A hard list to come up with because everyone likes to believe that their dog or their breed would do it for them. But I think you've probably done close to the most accurate top 10!
Great list. I have a Doberman and he is very protective and yet very loving and sociable with people I let in my home. He has changed my view on all dogs at this point. It is never the breed, it is always the human that can help a pup live to his potential.
Thank you for bringing up APBT, my pupper is one and he's the sweetest thing. They are intelligent and very athletic, good for getting back into shape and helpful for anxiety and depression, though most dogs are good for that.
I appreciate your dedication to dogs. Great vid.
Thank you for another great video. I have issues with balance. I sometimes fall because of this. I've been thinking about getting a service dog to help me. What are your thoughts on K-9 selection?
Standard poodle! 2nd smartest breed in the world. Only second to the border collies. German shepards are 3rd. Just saying.. 😉😊
Thank you for shining a positive light on pit bulls.
Great Video. Great channel. Really enjoy your intelligent approach. I have an 80 lb., 15 mo old APBT that fits your description perfectly.
This is a good list. It’s very hard to narrow down so many amazing breeds to just “10”. I have a Rottie and Cane Corso and I believe both would put lives on the line for us. However there are plenty others as well. Boerboel, Presa, Belgian Malinois, Turkish Kangal to name a few. But it’s not easy to break it down to just 10. You did a great job though!
Would love your thoughts on the Black Russian terrier
I have a special place in my heart for pits. I love all animals, but dogs are at the top💖
Good list ! I'll be watching! 👍
I have a 66 pound Pitbull who is totally sweet and fearsome looking.
But, when a bad guy comes I'm pretty sure he will totally give die for me.
He's completely fearless.
Wish my friend had that kind of Pit. Fool making friends with the bad guy's lool. My friend had to get another dog because his pit was too friendly lmfaooo.
If your pitbull is true to type then he will welcome all. They are not protection or guard dogs it was bred out of there nature in the pit. It would be dangerous to teach a dog like this to be human aggressive.
Another beautiful video! Thank You.
I remember watching a video about hero dog awards given out per breed and they stated the German Shepherd had more heroism awards than all other breeds combined.
Αlthough I generally agree with your lists, here I have to argue a bit.
We have a tangible example of Morocho, the Dogo Argentino who saved 2 young girls from Puma attack, and instead of Dogos being first on the list, by far, they are nowhere.
I think German shepherd should’ve been 1 seeing how many die for their handlers in professional and military settings. But Dogo is great too
Maybe top 20
Cane Corsos make very loving family dogs that show much affection, unlike any breed I’ve ever seen. Very intelligent and loyal. They are also very protective of their owners.
Well said about Pit bull terrier.
Thanks for a great video. I'm looking for a personal protection dog to be my travel companion when I hit the road with my travel trailer. My top pick is a Belgian "Mal" but your list gave me some other breeds to consider.
‘Ten dog breeds that would give die for you’
Yes that made complete sense😂😂
Proof reading is a must 🤣
couldn't decide between "Give their life for you" vs "Die for you"
Hey it happens when you’re posting a video at 3am. 😂
@@DogumentaryTV yep too much brown juice!
Can you do a Boston terrier vs French bulldog comparison video? plz 😩you are great at explaining the differences and pointing out certain traits that people don’t notice.
Great video, great channel ❤️!
Dogo Argentino name is missing in this list... I think he deserve top 3 rank in this list.
Absolutely, 100% agree. A Dogo will give his life for his family without a second thought, regardless if the threat has 4 legs or 2 legs.
I love my pitty Girl! She brings a smile to my face ever single day.
Another great video Zeke! 👏👏👏
Great list! Thanks. I have had 3 of them and I would agree with you.
great pics i thought the Belgian Malinois (spelling may be jacked up) would have been #1 if not top 3 personally i have had rotties in the past and currently have a red nose pit and a frankenstein bully mix
Great video I understand your placement of the dog breeds, we have a staffie/rhodesian ridgeback mix and she would defend anyone in the family no matter what happens to her, since quite a few ppl consider staffies pit bulls I agree with your placement although I would still put the doberman as my #1 I just think they are all about the defence of their owners, that's my opinion anyway but the put bull/staffie would be my #2 placement for sure 🐕♥️
What about the Doggo argentino
Holup
Your voice is so chill. I love it, haha.
Hi, good evening. Thanks for guiding us with professionalism.
Dogs, they are the cutest and most friendly to humans in the animal kingdom, it is the most loyal.
Nowadays dogs are more loyal to us
Then other people
Fact:dog will not think an second to risk or give up its life for the sake of its owner
We look for ourselves
Love my Schnauzer! He is a loving and very protective boy🥰
Once again an enjoyable video!.The Bully Kutta with the right training could make this list.(SHOUT OUT from TEAM ROTTIE) ! :)
I love your content, thank you
Excellent video!
Great video!
Why don't you make a list of dog breeds that would be a good hiking partners. I hike a lot and I need a dog that can outlast me
I was going to say the same thing as the previous poster. The Belgian is a dog that demands a LOT of exercise.
Doberman 👍🏽
Doberman, Belgian Malinois, Dogo Argentino
Just adopt a medium slim dog
Hungarian vizsla and weimaraner, they can easily go 80km a day.
Like this list! Should make one for medium and small dogs too, I’ve been around blueheelers, aussies, collies, jackrussells, catahoulas, etc. that are just as loyal and fierce as these bigger breeds. (They don’t get as much attention though because they aren’t as big)
I was hoping the that the APBT was going to be saved for last. Although I don't own them now and have focused on Olde English Bulldogges they are my favorite dog hands down!!!
Have you found that your OEB have breathing issues experienced by the smaller brachycephalic breeds?
Solid list although I would of had the Boerboel in this list for sure and maybe leave out the Great Pyrenees
What about the South African Boalborl
@@77jrocku Boerboel and South African Boerboel are the same thing
Great list! What about the Boerboel?
Great video, but you forgot Alabai, CO & Malinois very notable mentions👍
Not my malinois. He looks to me for protection, however he has an impressive display. My CO...she's a different story.
@Leonidas Junior caucasian ovcharka
@@ab935 wtf you own both? your house is probably so fun lol
What dog breed would you advise for a senior citizen for protection? The Belgian Malinois had always been a favorite or the romantic side a Irish Wolf Hound. But.... Not younger any more. Fir companion and protection. I weigh 101#'s...yeah they would outweigh me by 50-75+#'s. The dog would have to be trained. Had many smaller breeds until 15+ yrs ago. Sin has 4. Grand on mix of one of top 10. I call him "Cujo". Picture scared me sitting on top of his truck. Any suggestions aside from what shepherds used for in military. Senior military brat who needs living companion and protection. Thank you.
My German Shepherd is 12 months old and 90 lbs. His protective instincts have been apparent since 5 or 6 months old. He loves my children and grandchildren, but strangers will not only not come in my yard, they put plenty of distance between them and the yard fence. The boy is scary to the unknown.
Can you do a video on the Ca De Buo please.
Very good list and very accurate 👌
You Do an Excellent Job with your information
You mean the amstaff and pitbulls in general or just the pitbull that has gameness? Because i love the amstaff that is of the ruffian blood lines, awsome video by the way
brilliant channel!
I got a puppy pit and every dog he sees he always stands tall, it’s like he’s trying to say “ wassup fool u tryin to throw hands “
Damn bro you got a real APBT then. Make sure you socialise him well.
mine is the opposite, i let him meet another dog and it barked and scared the hell outta him... instead of letting him figure it out and get along i took him away, he's fearful of dogs his size or bigger... LESSON LEARNED, never making that again.
@@anniet494 Then your dog is not a pure apt
@@anniet494 I guarantee you have some sort of american bully that remotely looks kind of similar to a pitbull
The Anatolian Shepherd would be my #1
Hey Zeke, love your platform and I’m guilty of watching but only subscribed now, I absolutely love dogs but haven’t had exposure to many, that said the breed that I’m in love with, the BOERBOL, have a hard time with them not being on this list, many on this list I’m convinced would not stand between you and a bear, lion or hyena, this is not criticism, just from my research he should be on this list if not at the top keep up the good work and look forward to more thanks
You can’t forget about the mighty Chiweenie. My girl has risked her life for me multiple times and even needed stitches because she leaped in to protect me from an aggressive dog that tried attacking me but she stepped in. I didn’t have a scratch on me because of her.
Great list..i love all dogs every breed just speaks to me..i have had dogs all my life ..i cant decide which i want..lol
Excellent list and has actual thought and fact put into the list. The only thing I would change is that none of these breeds are honestly suitable for inexperienced or first time dog owners. I feel that way about most dog breeds including small breeds.
Agree 100%. I see teenie dogs everywhere now days and a lot of the owners haven’t even taught basic commands. Think cos they think they’re cute they can get away with everything.
Ur explanation is simple and easy to understand
Great list Sir.
I would have put the German Shepherd higher, just look at all the times police and military german shepherds have died protecting their owner. Still a great video with as always!
More often than not, military dogs are Malinois.
SpidermansBro yes I know, I dont know why Zeke didnt incude them on the list.
Bruh yea as for working with dogs for over 16 years 10, 9, 8, 6 & 5 I can so agree. These were the most aggressive dogs we had to turn away. I don't know about no Pit Bull Terrier though. They freaking licked the robber. Like are you killing me? lmfaooo. Walked in the damn house this fool on the floor playing with him.
I would add Presa Canario and Dogo argentino
List keeps going buddy, but there is no more room for a top 10. This i believe was more on the lines of adding a little bit of everything for example, dogo is a dog made up of 9 breeds, in it the bulldog... bulldog was mentioned here. Presa canario and Belgian malinois are also great additions but we have the cane Corso and GSD which are "cousins" to those other dogs ( it is believed Roman's brought cane corsos to the carrier island and left some when they departed... the natives there mixed those dogs with their street dogs selectively to create a catch dog and pitbull is believed to have been used as well for that infamous pain tolerance and agility as well but I wasn't there to say that a pitbull was one of the dogs used in the process for sure) boerboel wasn't mentioned but looks very similar to some of the dogs mentioned here and carries similar traits so the list might get repetitive too? I don't know the exact reasons but it could have just been his personal preference which is great. Rottweilers, pitbull, and presas are might top 3 and dogos and borboel as well as cane corsos right after that. If I was a millionaire I'd have a ranch of all kinds of these breeds but thats impossible lol
@@ericinfante1885 fair play Eric! Good explanation 🙌🏼
Do youknow Morocho the dogog ARGENTINO?? love ❤❤❤💝
@@mohamedelmoukhtarsfifa9863 the one who fought puma in Argentina? Sure! Ideal dog...
@@Lysy.na.Kanarach yes that was an epic fight and story!
I agree 100% with the top 3. I'm a little biased towards the American Bulldog though, so they'll be no. 1 on my list.
Boerboel?
great video
