the intruder steps over the sleeping rott ,but does not evade the attention of the small dog.
a statement i read yrs ago,concerning the rott i dont think so!
it makes me smile.
what country do you live in?we need to know so we know what type of guardian breed is avaliable to you.
i will continue on,im going to burst a bubble here ,the akita is pretty much bottom of the list as a guardian . ive debated guard dogs on other forums,there were slaughtered.
one training expert on akitas admitted they were no where near the following breeds i will mention.
one poster stated his mate had two akitas to guard his paint store,the dogs were stolen,i think he was winding up!
but anyway im sure there are some good akitas as guards,go for the american akita.
down to serious guards.
a fila brasilero is a large mastiff type breed,all i can say is this breed is more than capable of guarding and on seeing a threat on its family,causing death to a fully grown man.
am bandogges are good for protection,one named jaws trained by joseph lucero is well known in the protection feild.
the presa is getting more and more popular in the states sinse the diane whipple death,
a dog on looks alone you wouldnt mess with.redstar kennels do a lot of work with them.
an american bulldog can be effective ,i know a lot of people who speak highy of them ,but there not for me.
some swear by the cane corso, they can do a good job ,most are overated.
the gsd a breed i admire, used so much to work ,led the way that the rest of the breeds had to follow.
belgian malanois used extensively, it has it all,but like the gsd,doesnt have the power of the other breeds i mentioned to be a true manstopper.
doberman another breed falling down the ladder used as a guardian,another breed i admire,these are harder to get that are capable to work,most i meet are nervous.
a lot that people say against the rottweiler is they have rank issues,meaning they are not as efficent as other breeds,doesnt really hit the nail on the head. overbreeding by byb has resulted in a lot not coming up to standard.
there is no such thing as other breeds better for guard work than a rott.
as longas a well bred rott with a stable desired temperament and defensive drive,not the prey drive the schnutzhund dogs are locked with,will meet and exceed most expectations.
by the way,never came across a young female who needs these breeds.
