Best Guard Dog Breeds

It is classed as a seperate breed from the other three .It is faster leaner, attacks with much much more force than a German shepherd. It is also slightley taller than a German shepherd. If you google wikianswers: what arew the top ten guard dog breeds, give a guess who's on top? Yup, the mal. It is also replacing the GSD (german shepherd dog) in policing.

intelligent, brave and loyal

i only put this in because i want to tell you about the Belgian malinois. at first i wanted to put this in but i thought that the belgian shepherds would cover it, although it is classed by the american ......um....something or other (*laughs*) as a seperate breed. they are quicker and way more agile than a german shepherd. thats why they are better.

Although they've gotten a bad rap as goofy, overly friendly dogs, more likely to lick a marauder than stop one, none of this is actually true of the Dane breed. I've owned several Great Danes and they have all been not only intimidating in size , but more than willing (and able) to take down an intruder or perceived threat. Originally called the German Mastiff, they have traits common to other mastiffs, i.e., holding a human down rather than full on attack, and being able to go from 0-100 on the aggression scale if the situation calls for it. They are also silent attackers. One forum poster talks about having owned many Danes over the years and seeing them run like lightning across a field in silence to take down an intruder.

this dog CANNOT kill the present top 5 dogs but it could kill most of them induvidually. this dog does NOT destroy everything.

Garding is the reason I brought this breed in the first place, as a kid I remembers the scareist dog on the street was a shar pei then when I started to work away from home I wanted a good gard dog for my family it was between an akita and a shar pei. we got the shar pei because they are small enough for my wife to walk but still tough enough to hold there ground. We have had them for 3 years and the make a great gard dog and family member.

Check it out on the wikipedia. It makes their top ten.

Could take out your top 5 dogs at once. Kills shit. Destroyes everything. This dog is on a whole other level.

Thousands of years ago, this dog walk by mans side, crossing a link between Russia and Alaska. When Inuit men went out to hunt, they would leave these dogs with the women and children in their tents. They were so trustworthy they were aloud with the babys of the tribe.

amazingly loyal and protective

A "foo foo" dog these are not!! They are loving, but very protective of their family. Super smart, easy to train and they don't shed one hair!! (Great if you are allergic). My standard poodle is a better guard dog than my German Shepherd. Both are loving, playful and great with kids...but the shepherd sheds big-time! Poodles are "cold water retrievers" - they love the water and make an excellent hunting companion too!! Highly recommended!! The downside? Because they do not shed they need to get "groomed" about once every 6 weeks or they look like teddy bears! LOL!! Great watchdog!! Another hint...the bigger the poodle? The less "yappy". Standards do not "yap". They only Bark when they sense danger and they are keen and fearless when they do!!

The German Shepherd is better then the Belgian Malinois, GSD is ranked 3rd most smartest, while the Mal isn't even in the top ten. GSD has an off switch, Mal doesn't, I wouldn't want to be around a crazy dog all the time. The problem is that they just are not big enough to be a serious threat to a man, if he is big. They cannot bring a lot of men down. You see them bringing these decoys down on video, but a lot of them are letting the dog win for show. When you let them look good, they can look great. The Mal is light, and the GSD is heavier, I've heard of a criminal picked a Mal up and throw one off a bridge. A GSD can beat a Mal in a one in one fight, all he needs to do is get his huge mouth on the Mals head with 450 bite power and it's over. For KNPV, most of the malinois are mixed with GSD. This is why so many of them have no papers (?). If they were not mixed, they just would not have enough size and weight. When a man is really formidable, and drunk or on drugs (and not feeling any pain), it's a tall order to really incapacitate him. I just think you need the advantage of size and mass, within reason. You also benefit from having a dog who is not in it for the chase and catch, but who will enjoy fighting a man. That rules a lot of dogs out as individuals. I also think Mal's are not that big of a dog. I saw some videos from them and yes when they get a head start and get speed they can hit you with a lot of force, but I know German shepherd is bigger and more stronger and can take a pretty big person down. From talking to different people in different departments I think budget is a factor and also ego. Yes mals are fast and they look good on a suit, but throw that toy over a cliff.... Lol, GSD are thinkers, Mals just have a lot of drive. A lot of the handlers that specifically requested mals are going back to shepherds. As police k-9s go, it has its benfits, You want the wrong people to feel more afraid.

He or She barks when they feel stranger and they can protect a young kids...
