Uh, do you mean an ATTACK dog, capable of taking down a man and chewing his face off? A guard dog that just guards and alerts can be a little chihuahua if he bark loud enough. My mid-sized terrier it a great alarm, and is not afraid to run down an intruder and bite the shit out of him. That's enough time for me to get in a defensive posture and take care of business, if you know what I mean. However, the best dog is ONE YOU CAN TRAIN to do what you need him to do. A big pit bull who won't follow your commands is a lawsuit waiting to happen. That's why they are a problem breed. A German Schutzhund (a Shepherd specialty breed) has shown up in my research time and time again as the best all-around "guard" dog, if properly raised, socialized and trained. But we're talking a big dog and a bigger commitment to training. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21235597 Schutzhund isn't a Shepherd specialty breed. It's a sport that German Shepherds and other breeds train for and compete in. Quoting: Nine's [ link to en.wikipedia.org] found this dog through his link. looks beautiful. ;o Quoting: Blue Beamed Mals are nice dogs. Smart as they can be and busy, busy, busy. A working GSD (German Shepherd Dog) is also very, very active, but I think a Mal tops even them. You'd have to be a real busy person with either one of them. If their energy isn't channeled, they can be destructive...or worse.
