Hello
Am Stephen from Nigeria
Am big fan
I don't have dogs ,I will love to get one from you as a gift
If you can help me to buy one ,let me know thank sir
Please don't show pics of dogs with cropped ears. It's not pretty just disgusting. I feel the same way about circumcision.
@@dean2656 Who are you to tell someone what to show on their own channel etc. Hence the word "their own channel" Don't like it keep scrolling and rolling...Go find you something positively productive to do in life.
Great video, list and informative content...
1. Question though, why didn't the Caucasian Shepherd make your list?
Which dogs do you
Like
My Doberman saved my life, an intruder kicked my door in knocked me on the floor, she took him down in a matter of seconds and wouldn’t let go until I told her. ❤❤ sure miss her 😢
I'd of been kicking that guy into the hospital well the doberman messed up his arms and body.
I would buy another Doberman lol
Sound like a fairy tale
I love Dobermans!! As far as I’m concerned, they are by far one of the best protectors,most loyal, most loving amazing breeds ever! .. and soon as I can, I would very much love to get a pup and train it properly for protection purposes, but also to be a loyal and very much loved pet!!
Sorry for ur lose
My neighbour owns a Rottweiller, I think Rottweiller does remember faces, my first two encounters with his dog were two pleasant, after being trained by his owner, the big animal began to befriend me. One time when I was watching movie at my house, I spotted the guy was checking out my car on the driveway, guess what happened next? Rottweiller rushed over and scared him away...once again I need to mention I do not own this dog and this animal still protect my property. Thumbs up to this Rottweiller.
As A Dog Lover This Is One Of The Best Dog Videos I Ever Seen..,.
own 5 of them. They are literally the best lol. nobody comes to my home.
They are definitely smart and will protect you for sure.
Powerful, territorial etc type dogs (obviously) need to be raised properly. That said, I couldn't agree more with you. They're a working dog of that heritage/instinct, they're tough, even tempered and very intelligent probably attuned to scents more than faces. A canine's sense of smell is better than their eyesight, but either way it coincides with your sentiment. Not skittish or moody they're an excellent choice. Perspective owner's need to familiarize themselves/family with a breed like this prior to make sure they aren't buying more dog than they realize or are able to handle.
An example is possibly frail elderly people &/or small children can get sort of "roughhoused" when these blocks of muscle are just being affectionate by getting knocked around.
Hello I would like to know what breed is more popular or many population? Boerboel or Presa Canario?
Lost my 11 year old German Shepherd earlier this year. He was amazing, my personal body guard. He was a fully trained guard dog who could tell the difference between a stranger who wasn’t a threat to me a a stranger who was a threat to me.
Truly amazing loving dog, gentle with my grandkids but woe and behold if he sensed someone posed a threat to me. Miss him so much…….
You were blessed to have had 11 years with him ❤️ he sounds like he brought a lot of happiness and warm moments to your life! I know he's missed deeply, but try not to let that 1 day over shadow all the other years of days that brought joy and let those memories help get you through!
So sorry for your loss. I've had 5 GSDs over the years and loved each of them. They were gentle with my kids, and welcomed visitors if properly introduced. Each had his/her own personality, but always were loving and protective. I pray you find a place in your heart for another dog. I now have a Rottie girl that has less energy than my GSDs, and better fits my retirement lifestyle.
Sorry for your loss ❤️
I have had the privilege of owning two males and one female German shepherds. They are super amazing dogs. I miss them so much. My female was the most protective.
@@donna_71 I always say that I don't own my dogs, they own me! LOL!
Our Rottweiler would always place himself in front of our toddler, stand stiff legged and just stare at the front door if anyone knocked or rang the doorbell. Nobody was going to get close to his baby unless he approved. He was such a gentle loving dog who would've gladly gave his life if he needed to. Miss him terribly.
Someone at my door, my Rott puppy is always there first. I cant tell if she just wants to say hi, or see what the visitor taste like.
Sorry for your loss, I just put down my Rottweiler mix had him since a puppy, he last almost to 12 years. I know yours and mine God will save for heaven. He created them He will save them,
On our 3rd Rottie - still miss my first two. All 3 were/are so loyal and protective, yet gentle and loving I don't think you can beat them
My cane corso female is the most protective dog I’ve ever had. I thought she was extremely stubborn and she refused to walk on a leash. I unleashed her to see how she’d do and she stays at my side when I walk, or in between my legs when I stop. She’s the only dog I’ve had that watches me like a hawk. She plays with the kids, and loves on my wife, but she’s always watching me for direction. This dog has made me look like I’m some professional dog trainer, but it’s not me, it’s all her and her DNA in my opinion
Did Someone Say The Kangal Unbelievable Incredible 💯💯💯💯💯
I've always wanted a cane Corso but haven't had a stable enough life for one. Always loved the breed tho
Mine sticks right by my feet to be fair I can second that but the leash part yet aims she is only 10 weeks old but definitely the most loving dog I have ever owned.
Did you ever do any professional training for your cane corso?
Sir, you just described my Bella. She is exactly like that, and she will be 1yrs old tomorrow.
Belgian Malinois. As a first-time at first it was tough high maintenance but now we understand each other. Most protective loyal dog ever. Highly intelligent.
Picking up a rescue german shepherd we noted the kennels had a six foot wall round three sides, on top there had been a 1ft of fence. We could hear barking, when we looked there was a Belgian Malenous doing a standing jump to where we could see him above the walled section. Six foot fence is nothing less than a small barrier for that breed. Gorgeous dogs yet my wife and I were both brought up with the GS breed.
Our Mastiffs were fantastic as well.
Always had large dogs. Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Doberman, Newfoundland and last a Bullmastiff. All of them were fantastic with kids, family, friends and other dogs. We tried very hard to socialise them to every situation.
But the Bullmastiff. He was exceptional! Kindest, gentlest dog I’ve ever known. He knew his size and acted accordingly. He was a peace keeper. If dogs actually fought in a park… he’d bulldoze in, head down, mouth closed and butt the offender. Just stand there proud, I’m in charge!
He saved my cousin from a crazed Staffy. More importantly he saved us from a hammer wielding thug who broke into our home. He threw himself at that guy like an animal possessed.
Not had a dog since. Nothing could replace that guy. I can’t speak for the breed. But he was 1 in a million!
My father , born 1938, german like me, told me that iin his young years, many persons , who wanted their house protected, owned two dogs. A large one to scare human intruders, and a small one, to wake up the large one.
Facts!
True
Back in the Mid 1980s I owned a Neapolitan Mastiff. His name was NERO he was what they called a dilute blue (brindle) color. He looked like a marble statue. One of only 29 in North America at the time. Both his parents were from Italy. He ribboned in every IKC dog show. Winning best of breed once. He was very intelligent, emotional, loving and a natural protector. He was easy to socialize but if anyone approached me and I didn't say hello ,he wouldn't let them within 10 feet of me. If they took a step any closer he was as ferocious as any wild animal you could imagine. An amazing dog. I miss him. He almost made it to 8 years-old. God bless NERO
Excellent mate. Neos in the 80s we’re super rare in the US. They are one of the absolute best protection dogs you can buy. Top 5 in my opinion. I’m currently strongly considering one.
Rottweilers. I love all working class dog breeds, but my favorite is Rottweilers. I've had them for 32 years. They always have your back no matter what, you have to respect that.
I owned i kangal since he was 2 months old.
Used to take him to park nearby our house when he was just a pup.
One day when we were out (200m away from home) he suddenly ran back towards our house and when i took i look i saw my cousin was walking to our house for a visit. The pup made it first to our house and barked so fiercely aty cousin. Thats when i knew that we got ourselves an incredible guard dog. No training for guarding or attacking at all.
He hospitalized 3-4 thieves until our neighborhood got concerned as he grew bigger and bigger and gain reputation of a killer. We got concerned too cause lot of people became interested and our dog became kinda like a tourism thing that everyone who had heard of him would want to see this terrifying guard dog that everyone's talking about. Some where coming to our house only to poke him and see his reaction behind the fence. We got concerned and relocated him to our farm where wolves were the doing lots of damage to our sheeps. We didn't wanna make him a sheepdog in that dangerous area but had no choice. He died of old age and no sheep was harmed during his time in the farm.
I can't express how i miss him. Run Free my wonderful Douglas. Simply can't forget him after almost 20 years
Best guard dog I ever had was a mutt. Yes a mutt, he was chow, black lab, sharpei, and husky. Don’t underestimate the mutt, sometimes they are more than the sum of their parts, and will go to the mat for their persons.
I have never bought a dog---all rescues or give-aways. My favorite was a Basset Hound. Loyal, loving, entertaining and protective. Anyone who met him underestimated him. He was very broad chested, strong and fast. When people thought that he was timid because he would calmly stand close but not too close, I would tell them that he wasn't shy---He is watching every move you make and if you make the wrong one, he will eat you alive. The truly amazing thing (to me) is that he lived into his nineteenth year. My kids were young when we got him and he was still around to know my two oldest grandchildren. My next favorite was a German Shepherd/Redbone Hound mix. A little odd looking---Built like a Shepherd with the color and tail of the Redbone. He was even tempered, protective, intimidating and quiet. He didn't bark--He bayed like a hound and rarely did that. We got him when my daughter was a toddler and I was pregnant with my son. I had decided to put him outside for a while when I brought my baby home for practical reasons. If my son cried, he bayed. He needed to know what was happening in the house. So, I showed the baby to him and everything was okay after that. I haven't had a dog for awhile for various reasons, including that I still miss Boze so much, but I'm getting closer to being ready. I have never sought a specific breed before, but I may this time.
I'm from South african and I'm glad the Boerboel made this list and also that this breed is getting global recognition it deserves...
🇿🇦
I want to have boerboel but i can't find it in Egypt :(
Yea they beast for sure
Wakanda 4evaaaa
You and I are brothers , the two in my pic are mine
Raised dogs all my life. Best one I ever had was a Boerboel. She was very quiet and laid back, until she needed not to be. Very intuitive. Took silent commands
I also have a Boerboel. Great dog. In my opinion, the best of all dogs. Like flippen velcro and so great with other pets and gentle with children. Hard work though.
I’m glad you put Presa Canario on the list. My first presa who I still have, has saved me on numerous occasions from getting attacked by other dogs and was there for me when I first got out the Army and was losing it a bit mentally.
MY XL BULLY-FEMALE IS SWEET AS PIE…IF SHE KNOWS YOU. MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR OGHBOR WAS SHOWING HER HOUSE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THE REALTOR STUCK HIS FINGER THROUGH THE FENCE…OBVIOUSLY SHE BIT HIM. HER DAD WAS A BULLY AND MOM WAS AN APT. SHE’S THICK AND LOVED MY MOM! WE HAVE COYOTES IN THE AREA FROM TIME TO TIME. THEY DON’T MESS WITH OUR STREET USUALLY. WE HAVE GERMAN SHEPHERDS, ROTTIES AND PITBULLS!
Thank you for your service bro. Im a Navy Veteran, during the Gulf War Era. 🫡
Thank both you guys for your service! Huge respect to anyone who has served or is serving in the armed forces! I also have a Presa, amazing dog! Absolutely fearless, but to their owners they are very loving, loyal & affectionate ❤ I got my girl a few months after my Dad died, my partner & I decided we didn't want anymore kids & got a "furbaby" she adored him, but absolutely wouldn't listen to him, only me. She helped me alot whilst I was grieving my Dad. Then last year, very unexpectedly & sudden, my partner had a stroke & died! Shattered my world completely, I can honestly say, Kiera (dog) has been a massive comfort. Since then I seem to be incredibly anxious & am now on medication. When heart palpitations begin & I'm disorientented, shel jump up beside me, and put her huge head on my shoulder/chest area & I calm down abit. I can't put into words how much this girl means to me ❤
I had a bull mastiff. What a fantastic dog. Fiercely loyal, but a goofball and a lover boy. We had him for 13 years and miss him every day.
As a person who has owned German shepherds all my life my opinion german shepherds are always number 1 for protective their the most loyal dog ever they would protect anybody until their dead they will always always always be my number 1’s
Not even remotely close....it's inferior to countless breeds in every category, not saying it's not a great dog, just not a top tier dog
Ageee with you gsd is always on top ! I’ve had my girl Scarlett for 5 years and she is super protective of the family . And not to mention loyalty and smart . ❤😊
Yeah…but German shepherd can be merciful 😂😂…I need a pit bull
Who would be rather guarded by? Shepherd or a professional at the job?
@@Brutes23 I’ve owned German shepherds all my life so I should know I also have 8 of them right now and have u ever owned one? Have the professional ever owned one? And it was my opinion and my experience
Rottie's will always have a special place in my heart I've had 3 the worst thing about them is their life spans
I had a female... runt of the litter, 80 lbs. All around amazing dog! She made it 11 1/2 year's..
I agree - on my 3rd Rotti and just wish so hard that they had a longer lifespan. My first, a female made 10.5 years, and my large male, only 9 years. 😪
I love my Corso. I’ve never been more impressed with a dog. She’s the biggest teddy bear I’ve ever met. Very very intelligent. Very intimidating even with her ears not cropped. You can feel it in your chest when she barks. I had to drive 2-1/2 hours one way to get her and I’d do it 100 times again
I want a Boxer and Cane Corso mix. 😮
I got some
I had to drive 8 hours one way to get my first Bullmastiff. He is awesome. Ihad a GSD when I was younger but needed a lower maintenance furkid. I have two now. you can get into my place but don't think of leaving unless you were invited because they will knock you on your ass and keep you there unless you are stupid, then, well, I think you already know. they are the hotel California dog. you can come in but you can never leave. fantastic family dog. huge pumpkin head and muscular body. keep them light until they are an adult at 2 years old. very little exercise needed and they love the family like most of the other mastiffs bully dogs. make sure you socialize them or you will have a nightmare on your hands which is true for every dog on the list. the nicest thing about them is you don't need to train to protect it is in their DNA. calmer than the other mastiffs which makes them an excellent dog for most people. calmer yes but when they need to be on, no one stands a chance against them. 😊
Cane corso is the best guardian dog for the family
My GSD, Optimus, was the best dog that I’ve ever owned. He was 90lbs of love muffin and gentle with everyone, but also wouldn’t leave my side and would naturally put himself between me and anyone else. I swear that he knew English too and would follow a sentence of instructions. He was extremely sensitive and alert to what was going on in the environment. I’ve had Rotties too, but my GSD was honestly on another level.
GSDs are the only ones on this list that any intelligent individual would own. But you’ve got a lot of statistically low IQ types in this audience.
❤
Akita has no fear factor! Most loyal and protective dog. Great with kids. Regal and confident!
What akita the American or Japanese or the original?
More likely to attack other dogs unprovoked than other breeds.
@@OakwiseBecomingyep and I disagree with “great with kids”, many are intolerant of children and don’t like their personal space invaded- incompatible with children who often don’t understand personal space. Also too challenging of a breed for the first time owner, however I’d also say that about some dogs on this list like the Boerboel, Dogo Argentino, Presa and Corso. The Akita is a breed that has gone terribly wrong in too many homes. 99% have attacked or even killed other dogs and many owners have gone on to get rid of the dog after it attacked the children even in the family. Very unpredictable unstable temperament also. Some days they’re friendly to any guest you introduce as friend or family, another day that same guest is one of the bad guys, and they give very little warning when they’ll strike. Not a fan of Akitas tbh. German Shepherd would be my number one on this list and show the right balance of all traits the video make looks for in a family guard dog
@@boatrightssyzurp2871American Akita
I have owned Akitas for the last 6 years. They are aloof and not necessarily playful with children. Also, much less affectionate than other breeds. It has a strong prey drive and should always be on leash. It is not vicious to other dogs, but definitely very dominant. I had to give away one because it was too dominant. I am very careful with 6 foot tall fencing. It will be very accomodating to anyone that approaches me in a friendly manner. it will also become friendly once that person has interacted with the dog in my presence. It is a great home and personal defence dog. Wouldn't want any other.
In my 57 years, and owner of numerous breeds, the best guard dog I've ever owned was an Australian Kelpie. She was between 60 to 70 lbs. She lived just shy of 15 years. Super intelligent and fearless yet loving and gentle.
@AmeliaNewman-yz1nwI love adopt a puppy like that, a good rottie mix. I only do rescues
I have had 18 Rottweilers and 4 Cane Corso’s still have two of each can I say that both these breeds have saved my life on more than one occasion….. My Rotties have saved me from many dog attacks and my Cane Corso saved me from a very aggressive German Shepherd….. I also had 4 small children when I had my first dogs they absolutely adored them and all their friends used to come over to play with all my dogs so kudos to both breeds…..
I had a Harlequin Great Dane when I was a kid. Tiny (my oldest brother named him) was 41 inches at the shoulder and packed a solid 250 pounds. 14 years is a really good run for a Great Dane. RIP 1967-1981
Awwww, he was born the same as me! ❤I'm sorry 4 your lost.
@@xInusHotiex: A sidenote from Germany: In my country this german breed has the name Deutsche Dogge.
Thanks for mentioning the bully breed. I have 120 pitbulls in my life including puppy's born. What an amazing and loyal breed if raised right. Never let an animal be dominate to the owner. If you insert your dominance not with abuse but training. You will have an amazing companion ❤️
I own a XL American Bully female, and she is definitely a guard dog with respect to my home and myself. I had her in obedience training very early on, and socialized with people and other dogs. She is very balanced, and confident, and an alpha. She is my gentle giant, but one needs to be aware how important it is to have them trained and socialized EARLY, so you learn how to handle such a dog. I exercise her most days outside for 2-3 hours. She travels well with me, but I don't stay in places that have a weight limit for dogs. I love the bully breed the best dog ever I ever owned!! I recommend getting them from a breeder who is reputable only!!
American Bandogge should definitely be considered. My 145 lb reverse brindle boy just recently passed away at just over 11 years of age. The only negative which to me wasn't a negative, was that after he turned six he did not want to meet new people. He was a beast though who protected me and my family well. Great video!
I had a Presa Canario, He was an amazing dog, I socialized him from 8 weeks on, we had neighbors and friends from up to 3 miles away to see this large dog laying in the driveway just watching people. But there were about 2 people he didn't trust and backed my husband and I up as he was going after the person was gone. He was 145lbs from age 1 to 10!/2 when we lost him. Rocky was my baby. Now we have 2 Staphashire pitbulls
I owned a pitbull named Cujo. And he was the most gentle loving dog. He was amazing. I miss him still yet today. He was non aggressive and loved kids. But he was protective
Pits are the sweetest misunderstood dogs, like my Luca! She was smarter than a 5 year old child! I never trained her, but she wanted to please me so much that she understood commands in two languages, Serbian and English!
@pashapasovski5860 Yes they are misunderstood. I now have a labpit mix. And she is a protective loyal smart gua5d dog. There was a man walking down our road. Now we live in a rural area. So there's really no reason for anyone to be walking down our road at 5 in the evening. No one that lives on this road does this. I've never seen this man before, but he was standing in front of our yard. But yet he was still in the road looking at people's houses and yards. I let my pitbull lab mix out and she went to the edge of the yard barking furiously. Let's just say he was long about leaving in front of our. House
Grew up with a German shepherd female & she was wonderful. My mom did day care for about 6 kids give or take throughout the 80's. Those were the safest kids on earth. Strangers (mail men) had thier work cut out for them. My mom eventually had to go get the mail.
My little jack Russell was a perfect example of what you said at the beginning, she was super at being the ultimate alarm system, and would take your finger off if you would even sneeze near my mum but we never expected her to be an actual protector, that was our job, she just needed to call the troops in! She had every trait needed to be the perfect guard dog except for her size (even though she thought she was as big as the biggest dog out there) b3yond loyal, fearless, loving and i miss her so much, she passed away at 16 at the beginning of covid and I miss her everyday. My little buddy :( rest easy x
I have a 4 month old Jack Russell- boxer mix and he will perch his ears up and start barking at the slightest noise. He is easily trained and will always stay by your side.
Both of my sisters have German shepherds they were trained at a young age but haven’t been socialized much since, I assume due to they’re used for a guardian dog. They love me so much they actually put their forehead on me to show love. I adore this breed. I have an xl bully she is socialized doesn’t bark, i call her the silent killer. She’s very protective. She’s only a year and four months so I am excited to see how she develops.
I've had two boxers that passed last year 12 and 13 years old. Now I have a classic bully, same kinda character with the boxers. The boxers a little more energetic. Boxers are not that big at 70lbs but 70lbs with agility is pretty impressive to watch them run and play. There so quick!
They are clowns laugh at something the do once and they will forever do it just to make you laugh
Awesome list ! You nailed the list ,,,,my female Corso is on the big side 😅 She’s not even 2 years and weighs in at 120 pounds,,not over weight she’s old school Cane Corso build ♥️♥️
I’ve had 2 German Shepherds. And I honestly don’t think I could ever own another one. They were so perfect that it would be unfair. Absolutely fantastic dogs.
I own an English Mastiff. He is the best boy I’ve ever had. He is very chill and the most gentle boy ever. When he gets concerned, he jumps up and starts barking. He will go outside and run along our wall, scaring whatever he might have heard. Lots of people find him intimidating due to his size, his barks, and his play growl 😂😂. His expressions due to intimidate others as well but I find all of them to be adorable and handsome ❤
He is SUPER patient and pretty good with other people including kids
Cool video! There are so many great dogs to choose from! As kids we had a Doberman Shepard mix that would stand up to any man or beast when it come to our safety! She lived to be 19, we were so lucky! She still lives in our hearts!
Wow amazing lifespan. What was her diet?
I have an XL American bully. Never had a day of security training but she is a perfect balance of family / protection dog . Love her
Help me get one I live in ghana west Africa
Thanks for sharing. I share my life at 75 years old with my 2 year old Bull Mastiff Thor. He’s very muscular with a wider chest. Great temperament. He loves the grandchildren. He’s a thinking dog. He assesses every situation. Only barks when he thinks he needs too. He’s affectionate. And he sticks to me like glue. When I have repair work or deliveries. Thor positions himself between me and that person. Best dog I’ve ever chosen.
My favorite & Best Ever Guard dog was a Rhodesian Ridgeback!! Her name was Jaws & she lived up to her name!! Was obedient & ALWAYS stepped between us & Anyone unknown to us!!❤❤
I have to agree with you 100% .I have had 7 of the dogs on this list and my boy never ceases to amaze me.XL bullys are gentle family dogs who love everything and they will definitely defend their family
You forgot the Giant Schnauzer. Very popular breed with military and law enforcement. My boy is two years old and weighs 110 lbs. He is a loyal loving family dog but fiercely protects us against unwanted visitors. Bite force PSI is 556. He can easily stop a large man and cause massive trauma if necessary.
High maintenance though
The Russians produced the black Russian terrier and its primary cross is giant schnauzer. They are a man stopper and are used by the military. Serious dog
hella underrated, have 2 pups Giant and Mini schnauzer.
I agree! My late Simba was smart, loyal, loving, a lot of personality, very social, & fierce guardian!! Mess with me and he would eat you!! The breed has an notable history except for being a favorite dog of the German SS in World War ll!
I had one follow me trough my friends house as a ghost,opening doors quietly and guiding me towards the owner, a 6th Dan Karate master, who grabbed me by the throat and started Laughing his ass off, while his huge black Shnautzer was laughing with him! Never felt so powerless and once I fought Hells Angel's!
I have an xl she's only a baby but she's super smart and has learnt so much already at 4 months, she's already so protective of my children and did a good job of protecting me from a carrier bag the other day 😂 due to the size I'm expecting from her I've been training daily from day 3 of having her and it's so rewarding, she's so eager to please ❤ xx
I’m about to be a empty nester & single and lost more than half my sight 15 years ago! So glad I ran across this video! I knew I wanted a German Shepard but like the Cane Corso too. I need some protection but loving family dogs to be around my children grandson and those that’s not a threat! But to GET the ones that are!!!!
Get a mastiff breed. Factory fitted with home defence programming and love to be with their owner 24/7.
One of my favorites was a German Shepherd/Redbone Hound mix that I rescued as a pup. My daughter was a toddler and I was pregnant with my son when I got him. He was loyal, even tempered, protective, intimidating and loved my kids.
I had an amazing experience when I owned a Belgian Malionous. That is one amazing dog when it comes to protection, intelligence, aggression and very very suspicious of strangers but their temperament as well is amazing especially around kids and their loved ones
Glad the American Akita is getting the credit it deserves my 137 lb male is a tank and stands at 29” at the withers his grandfather was 150lbs and had the head of a bear they are very quiet dogs and only bark if needed and they will guard with no problem and dismantle any threat that tries to do any harm to his or her family or property
Akita is the best by far
They are also the most danger since the don’t change their facial expressions so you can’t tell if they are angry. They also don’t get along with other dogs or animals. I’ve been around 2 of them and they are massive and intimidating.
@@ricosuave7102 my dad bought me one for my bday when I was very young… and everything you are saying is FACTS! People were very afraid of my dog because he was so quiet but can go from 0-1,000 at any moments notice. Nobody could just walk through our front door either. 😮💨😬 And highly intelligent. I miss my Heavy, and once I move to a bigger space I may get a boerbel, cane corso, or another Akita.
@Isaiah Carr what breeder you get your Akita from?
@@MrShankfu imported from Russia
Rhodesian Ridgeback is a good breed also. I was looking for a guard dog and friend to my family while deployed. Ridgebacks kept landing on my list.
I've got a Japanese Akita myself (1/8 Staffordshire terrier as well so not 100% purebred but close enough) and he is 2 weeks away from being 10 years old. I can tell you that they are one of the most loyal, protective and alert dogs you will find but equally great family dogs. He is my first dog and my parents never had dogs in their childhood so we went into it blind and in the video says these dogs aren't for first time owners and I do agree with this statement. Unless if you have a lot of free time or decided to hire a dog trainer, I wouldn't advise because they can be difficult, especially during their youth. They can be super aggressive towards ALL animals so a good training is a must.
My Cane Corso, I rescued him June 7 of this year. He is absolutely a manstopper and does not fuck around one bit when it comes to his job.
💯 agree 👍
Corso's don't have any stamina and the clumsy as hell but they do have a powerful bite though
I would rather have a presa canario
My childhood dog was a GSD but while living in Louisiana I discovered Bully’s and have a amazing 85lb female now. When I was a teenager none of my friends could come around because of my GSD, with this current Bully or the one I had before I don’t worry about my children’s friends coming over. My Bully never met a stranger and is friendly with all who come around, with that being said she is very fierce when defending the family and once took out a large male coyote who was apparently stalking a smaller dog we had. Before I could even call her name she had already killed the coyote. American bully XL’s are in my mind the best dog on this list. Your line btw is beautiful. I hope you continue with this for years to come. God bless
I really like this video and I learned a lot. I have a female Doberman. You did your research and what you said about them is true. My girl is an absolutely fierce protector of our home but she is also a registered therapy dog who will go into a nursing home or memory care home or the university during finals week and she just wants to help those people thru their day. She loves everyone, as long as they aren't in her business
ASOME!! That was a GREAT CLIP with lots of GREAT INFORMATION!! THANK YOU!! 👍
I have a rescue German Shepherd/ Malinois mix and he is an amazing protector, extremely devoted and loving with me and those he is properly introduced to. I totally agree with your last statements on the Malinois- he is very high maintenance energy and training wise (probably less so than a true Malinois due to some of the German Shepherd qualities) but also due to his rescue background. Would NOT recommend for first time or average dog owner. I also have a border collie/ staffie mix and while she may define the line, he enforces and ends it. 😊
GSDS❤
I've had Pit-Lab mixes, Pit-Beagle mixes, etc. All perfect.
My mom had 2 beautiful Red Dobermans while she lived alone, and nobody ever went near her home... Wonderful dogs! We now have a White German Sheperd Mix, and a Chiuhaha Terrier Mix. The Sheperd Mix won't let anybody near our home, car or anywhere we are. He doesn't like strangers or other dogs. They grew up together so they do everything together! We are so blessed❤
I liked all your choices. The video was well done. Good job!
I agree with all of your dog breed picks for being great guard dogs.
If I were to add any dog breed to this list I would add the Miniature Pincher(Min Pin). I owned one of those dogs & he was VERY protective of me!
He even saved me from harm a couple of times! In MY opinion(& it’s just my personal opinion), size doesn’t always matter. Sure, a large dog such as a Mastiff or a German Shepherd would probably stop a person from breaking into your home with just their looks & size alone, but, smaller dogs CAN be just as good at protecting their owners/home.
Great video!
12 Chihuahuas or Mini Pinschers would mess people up lol
@@DTKRDMNK true. Actually even 1 Chihuahua or 1 Miniature Pincher could mess a person up!
I’ve seen both breeds mess a person up pretty good on their own. A bunch of those dogs, could REALLY do some SERIOUS damage. 🙂😉
Even if they can’t stop a person, the barking is usually a good deterrent in itself! Someone looking to break in is gonna look for the easiest house usually, if u have a dog that’s not going to shut up and ankle bite and do whatever they can, that in itself can be enough of a deterrent for people who’d do you harm
@@zoew3253 my neighbors had two mini schnauzers that could set off car alarms.
Just wanted to say i love the stories you tell always look forward to a video thank you for this BGK.🙏🏽💯
I adore Rottweilers. The best dogs that I've ever owned. They're everything that I could ask for in a family member.
Best guard dog by far is the caucasian shepherd.
Like your list a lot. I'm a Boerboel owner. Perfect for my farm. Good with lifestock, very dominant over his territory but outside, due to proper socialization, very well behaved. Perfect with kids, even from my friends, he let them lead him on the leash even if he could easily drag them like they're not even there. When some buyers, neighbors or workers come around, he let's me know and don't let them move to the house before I come out to allow them and tell him his job is over. For me he was not to bad to be trained but you need to be consequent and more stubborn than he is. I'm a first time owner but I had some experience with dogs and educated myself a lot before I got him. Definitely not a good pick for people who don't know what they are doing because he will take the control then.
Where are u from
This is a pop up for me, I'm still missing my best friend, had to put him down this past Oct. I'm still impressed by the Boreboel. All the things you said are true plus some. He wasn't much for other dogs either, he'd run up to them sniff them and walk away. He was a runt and only came in at 125. And you better take their word about that deep throat lion growl he had for people.
He definitely knew right off who the bad guys are. He was 4 months shy of 12.
I’m from South Africa and the loving owner of a Boerboel X Ridgeback. Best of both breeds
Just got an XL bully even though I think they are soft in comparison to other dogs, glad to hear you have them up so high in your list. 🥊
some are soft.... it really depends on the bloodline and the parents

Check out our XL American Bully Kennel. Quality Matters!
I’m happy to see the Akita made your list. My Akita has become a loyal protector AND my best friend.
My Pit/Bull Mastiff weighs a hundred pounds and can clear a five foot wire fence from a sit. He is a teddy bear but sticks to my kids like glue. I never worry about them when he’s with them. I have always had bull breeds and every one was a good reliable dog.

Corso GANNNNNNG
Hey -- you should definitely add the Black Russian Terrier to this list... Big, Smart, and engineered for protection!
I purchased my first boerboel and will have him in January he's from klein sandfontein.. my next dog will be an xxl bully I Hope. I won't look no further, than big Gemini kennels.. I've been following this page awhile and this breeder knows his stuff.. his dogs tick every box one would want when choosing a bully for showing guarding pet etc. these dogs have it all
bro thank you for explaining about pit bull and bully many peple just say they are pit bull and thei are stupid
Hey bro, just wanted your opinion on Amstaff’s I adopted mine about a week ago and I love him but what do you think of them as a family/guard dog breed, thanks you.
Very very good content and super informative. Thank you for sharing to the world.
Btw, love the voice behind this. Super LIKe.
I was given a Tosa by my neighbor 22 years ago. Buddy was a 158lb male, sweet and loving to friends family and kids. Since then I’ve had three of them. Sapporo a male and kioko a female have all been amazing. Love the breed
On my second American Akita. They are a godsend. Brave dogs that will protect their family to the end. Doesn't bark just to bark and are absolutely beautiful. Always getting stopped and asked if it's a husky lol.
On my second as well, which totals 20 years. Perfect dog for my family.
I have to tell you, although she’s a smaller dog, I had a bull terrier that I know can hold it’s own against almost any dog. Amazingly powerful, amazingly obedient, and is a straight for the throat killer
This has to be the best information on guard dogs I've seen. I have a year and half old male Cane Corso (Clyde) and he weighs 130 pounds right now. First time owner of this breed and I must say his personality is truly amazing. He's so much fun lol!! You're 1000% correct when you said they play 0 games when it comes to defending their loved ones.
Love the way u compiled ur list and the way u deliver ur content!! Love the comedic personality!!
My very first dog was a German shepherd named Loki he was a good protector still miss him to this day.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video , thank you for posting it! My first dog was a Rottweiler too and he was extraordinary! Fiercely protective of me, super intelligent, extremely gentle with children and adults that he knew. He lived for 11 yrs. I also had a Cane Corso and he too was very protective of me.Gigantic dog! I also had a dogo argentino and boxer mix, she was protective, gentle, smart, playful and fast as a whippet! Loved them all, but my Rottweiler was without a doubt, the most intelligent and I had him the longest. He was from an exceptional bloodline and it showed in all the years he was with me. I have a soft spot for them too. If I had the space the XL American bully would have been a consideration. A dog thst massive needs lots of room !
I can testify that dobermann, rottweiler, pit bull and American stafford are exelent dogs in so many fields, just as stated in the video, some dogs are a bit less beginner level and the outcome could be less than desirable! If you are a beginner, read up as much as you can and maybe even go to dog training with your dog! Nothing like a well behaved, balanced dog with a good leader on the other side of that leash.
Thank you this is very informative. I have had a variety of dogs. As a child before I was born mom had a Shepard related to Rin tin tin. I remember a collie Shepard as my first dog. It was a great combination. Friendly but still protective. The next dog was a beagle. I’m working on the CBPO simulator and am interested in the service dogs. We just have a chihuahua Yorkshire mix. She mainly will bark when she heard someone.
Great Video 👍🏼❤ I have half Kangal SaintBernard. He's turning two in February 4th. Amazing guard dog🐕
Not going to lie. My old roommate bought a Black Lab from a hunting line back in 2008. I help him raise the dog for a while as we were both in the military. He was a beautiful, well built dog and once he gained a little size and maturity he was an absolute unit, pure man-stopper. That dog wouldn’t hesitate to act but was calm enough to take on a walk/run in the neighborhood without any incident. He understood well who was bad/not bad. I’d take him out on runs to try and tire him out and nothing would. 5 mile runs were nothing to that dog. Working dogs are the way to go for dog breeds. There were times where he would show his protective nature and it was unnerving. Only reason I wouldn’t get one today is because I know that dog would chase an intruder/attacker down and maul him.
I personally own Cane Corsos and Akitas. I would switch the life expectancy the Akita is slightly healthier and lives a little bit longer. Another thing I would switch is the Livestock Guardian comment The Boerboel is a lot more reliable than the Cane Corso in that department. My brother in law now deceased bred German shepherds you should have mentioned that they are the least capable of defending from wild predators they usually back down and when they do engage they almost always lose and get injured in the battle.
Love the list I have. Presa Canario and 2 Cane Corso . Love the hell out of them. Had em since pups and they are very loving and protective
Nice to see you talk about the Boerboel, I have 2 and although i consider myself experienced with Large dogs, they can be challenging - Socialize socialize socialize. You have beautiful bullies, much respect.
Thanks for the Information really enjoyed the video and i am so excited for another story time BGK all day 🔥💯
Wow great video! Learned a lot. Never heard of half the dogs on this list, but you laid out the facts to make it easy to understand.
I cannot speak for him breed-wise, but our Tennessee Tree - Labrador - Boxer mix is one of the smartest, protectors I’ve ever had. At 85 pounds, I put him up against anyone foolish enough to get near our home, but he’s also the most loving, snuggling, nuzzling guy we’ve ever had. And he’s gentle with our miniature Boston Terriers.
and the Kangal said...hold my beer.
I am a Nigerian in Nigeria and one of the pioneer owners of Boerboels in the country. My BooBoo was fawn and one great fun family member that lived to a ripe old age before his sad passage from natural causes.
I’m glad you have Dogo Argentinos on here. I have one, Odin, and he’s the smartest dog I’ve ever owned, and he’s low maintenance once I figured his food allergies out. He is fiercely loyal and picked up his potty training in like 2 weeks. Great dog breed
When number one came, I thought for a moment that the amazingly majestic Kangal was not listed, then to my delight, the Kangal was presented in a class of its own prestige it truly deserves.
Other Turkish breeds such as Malakli, Karabash, Black sea Karabash etc may sit just below the Kangal at pound for pound excellence, not by a huge margin that puts them in a respectable level also for an owner to be proud imo.
I currently own a bullmastiff and will be getting a boxer in a couple months. Great list.
I agree with your list but my favorite will always be a doberman, it's the only dog ever completely made as a personal protector of humans. I love this breed.....in saying that we currently have a beautiful brindle pit bull mix who's on the large size (23" and 90 lbs.) and she would defend us in any situation as
I've got 5 dogs, one of them is my GSD and another is my boxer. BOTH my boys protect me fiercely and I love it!!
great video that i needed to see! I love the big block heads of xl bullies. just so cute.
The Akita is sooooo slept on
Believe it or not. A Bernese Mountain Dog. He was big for the breed. Gentle, loving, kids in the neighborhood came over to play with him. However, if I wasn’t home ! Just the wife and kids. Or no one. A different animal. He was the best. Rest his soul. I honestly never worried about about the family when he was
Sorry. Posted on accident.
When he was there.
135# of love and devotion to us.
I had a Chow as a teenager that was a awesome guard dog. I’ve had an American Bulldog and a Cane Corso that were both great protectors of my family and now have a Doberman that was dropped of at my house that is a sweet dog but a terrible guard dog. She doesn’t even lift her head off of her bed when someone drives up my driveway and comes to the door. 😂
Super awesome display and body of work!
Thank you!
German shepherds are the best guard dogs and easy to train I love them!!!❤❤
Thank you this will help us make our discussion.
Nice review of some breeds that I was unfamiliar with. Thanks
I like and respect your list.
I do want to throw in the boxer. Especially the larger bloodlines. Their gentleness with children along with their super protectivness is amazing.
I grew up out in the woods. Lol. And I had a very large 100lbs boxer - very rare. He had ran off several large black bears from our home.
I would love a Carne Corso and Boxer mix.
I came here to see if anyone mentioned the Boxer. We are on #3 &4 and waiting on #5 to wean from mom. They have all been great guard dogs. I feel super safe with them and of course they have fantastic temperaments!
Boxers are WONDERFUL dogs! And just like the Pitbull, Amstaff, American Bully, Cane Corso, Staffy Bull Terrier, the French Bulldog, American Bulldog and MANY more, they are part of a large group called Bully Breeds. They are all different and all have many wonderful traits.
We have a large blue-nosed Pitbull and she is sweet-natured, loving, smart, wonderful with small children, funny and well behaved. But she's given LOTS of love, affection and FIRM but gentle discipline. A total lovebug who is NOTHING like the monster some people claim these dogs are. They can be stubborn, but not too difficult to train as they really want to please. She also lives with two cats who rule the roost. We love them all.
