Best SHTF Guard Dog Breed?
What is the best SHTF guard dog breed? I have a decent amount of preps but obviously I can't stay awake 24/7. I have a small dog, but I think I bigger dog would buy me more time during an invasion of some sort. I don't think I want a pitbull or rott. (Seen a rott ripped someone's calf muscle off their leg in front of me.) I am thinking mastiff maybe? I had an Akita at one time but it would bite my mom when I wasn't looking, sneaky bitch, literally. Opinions?

Anatolian Shepard...very loyal to the "flock" and wary of ANY strangers. Bred to fight wolves, bears, even cheetahs.

Second on the Cane Corso. My daughter has one and he is a BRUISER. Big as hell and protects her like a tiger. Friendly with the family, but you don't wanna get on the bad side of that beast...and his bark will wake up the neighborhood.

Re: Best SHTF Guard Dog Breed?
I think a small barker dog like a toy poodle or chihuahua would be ideal because they bark at the first sign of an intruder. Also you have to figure food will be scarce, so you need to take that into consideration too. Even if you get a large dog, the intruders could easily shoot it.

I'd go with small yappy cheap to feed.

I'd get a Dire Wolf but they are extinct. My 2nd choice would be a Teacup Schnauzer.

Re: Best SHTF Guard Dog Breed?
I like my dog ~ German short-haired Pointer :) He's an Excellent family dog ~ normally wouldn't hurt a flea... However he intrinsically senses when I don't like someone or a situation & is VERY defensive of us & our home. He's also my EAS ~ always lets me know when anybody is on ~ or even approaching ~the property! :)

He's big enough to put the hurt on someone if need be...

Boris is a Brazilian Mastiff, half Bloodhound, half Mastiff.

He is 130 pounds of unfixed muscle. Very loyal and loving.
Suspicious of all others.

I've been reading up about the Bulgarian Shepard's as a SHTF dog.
We all breathe the same air.

Re: Best SHTF Guard Dog Breed?
Well, you do not want a small dog who barks at everything. They will give you away. Too big of a dog and feeding it will become a problem.

Also, it depends on where you will go when tshtf.

A German Sheppard is probably your best bet. Extremely smart, easy to train, can spot a terminator and people see one and know not to fuck around.

Pit bulls could be good. Cane corso, American bulldog or any working, strong dog who can fend for themselves is good.

Stay away from the barkers.
Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish.

Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage.

Mutts. Big gnarly mutts. Mutts tend to have less health problems than pure bred dogs and there are plenty of them out there. Find a shepard mix or a pit bull mix.

A big dog just eats way to much,in a shtf scenario you don't want a dog that eats twice as much as you,must big dogs can't hunt well either,your best bet would be a border collie they are smarter then most people and are one hell of a trail dog.

Rhodesian Ridgeback. Bred to hunt Lion. The only purebred dog from Africa. Smart, can anticipate your next move ( or anyone's or anything's), attack is more viscous than a pit, in fact they tell you specifically to NOT train these dogs as they have pure instinct that will kick in naturally.

Also, if they can take down the top of the animal kingdom and are that loyal...?? Great with kids too !
