The Best Aggressive Watch Dogs

If you are looking for a four-legged companion, you need to establish the breed that is most suitable for your lifestyle and home. You also should select a breed with behaviors you look for in a dog. if you want a watchdog, there are a few breeds that are more alert or more aggressive and can be trained to keep you safe. Larger dog breeds are better suited as guard dogs than smaller breeds, because smaller dogs can be overpowered.

  1. Bullmastiff

    • The bullmastiff is considered one of the best watchdogs.

      According to Pet Meds Online, the bullmastiff is the best watchdog breed. A bullmastiff is a cross between a bulldog and a mastiff. The dog is alert and can be fearless when threatened; he can pin intruders to the ground in addition to biting. The dog should be trained from early puppyhood and obedience training is necessary. The dog requires a strong, authoritative owner along with socializing and affection.

    Doberman Pinscher

    • Dobermans are protective of their owners.

      Doberman pinschers originally were trained as guard dogs but can be suitable for families. The Doberman is an intelligent and affectionate dog that will turn aggressive if it feels its family is in danger. Just like bullmastiffs, Dobermans require a firm leader and mental stimulation.

    Rottweiler

    • Rottweilers are affectionate towards their owners, but can be aggressive towards intruders.

      The Rottweiler is a muscular dog that can become highly aggressive and protective of his owner. Rottweilers benefit from obedience training as early as possible, otherwise they will try to become dominant. Socialization with other dogs and humans is also important for Rottweilers that are adopted as family dogs.

    Komondor

    • Pulis and komondors are similar in appearance, but komondors are white or cream and pulis are typically black.

      Despite its friendly appearance, the komondor can become aggressive and territorial, being in the top watchdogs recommended by Pet Meds Online. The breed is loyal and can display aggressive behavior if the dog feels that its owner or property is threatened. Originally bred as herding dogs, these strong-willed dogs must be trained from an early age.

    Other Breeds

    • Breeds such as the kuvasz or the puli can be good guard dogs, but they are not as aggressive as bullmastifs or Rottweilers. These dogs posses superior intelligence and can be trained to protect a family or a home. Other dogs that may be suitable guard dogs include German shepherds, greater Swiss mountain dogs, Moscow watch dogs or boerboels, which are large dogs that are not easily put down.

      Note that temperament varies from dog to dog, even of the same breed. Even if the breed is known to display certain behaviors, the dog you get may have a different nature.
