Dogs are excellent companions not only because of their kindness and loyalty but because of
their numerous abilities. And adopting a dog to feel safe is common, as some dogs provide
defense against unforeseen dangers. But, because not all dogs are created equal, some dogs are
naturally more protective than others. Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Most Protective Dogs.
Komondor
Herding dogs are by nature protective. That is a primary function of shepherd breeds.
Like many herding breeds, the Komondor's protective instincts extend beyond the sheep
it was bred to guard. It may appear scraggly with its dreadlock hair, yet it is actually
exceedingly regal, having been designated as a national treasure by its native Hungary.
It has the ideal protection dog temperament. While things are calm,
it is a happy, tranquil pet, but when danger approaches, it will heroically execute its duty.

Pulli
This shaggy dog, similar to the Komondor, also originates in Hungary and was also bred to herd
and defend animals. The Puli also has a natural instinct to protect its owner and family. It is
quite clever and responsive to good training; yet, they are often restless and love to be outside.
Like most of the dogs on this list. They need plenty of mental and physical exercise.
Giant Schnauzer
The Giant Schnauzer is a large breed whose size alone makes it a good guard dog. Because of
its reserved and dependable character, this working dog is often used as a police dog.
They are wary of strangers, which keeps them watchful while protecting your house and family.
The key to raising a happy, well-adjusted Giant Schnauzer
is taking responsibility to exercise and train them while they are still young.
Giant Schnauzers that are improperly trained and exercised can be quite challenging.
Like most dogs, you get out of them what you willingly put in.
Great Dane
Great Danes are noted for their height, which plays a significant role in their capacity
to guard. They are the tallest dog breed and quite imposing to would-be intruders.
However, they are known for their protective instinct when it comes to actual protection.
This gentle giant's protective nature is not overdone, as it maintains a serene temperament
and is an excellent, albeit space-consuming family pet.
Australian Shepherd
The medium-sized Australian Shepherd is both attractive and courageous.
They are natural herders who will use any opportunity to bring other animals into line,
including from time to time children.
They are most at home on a ranch or small farm. But,
they are excellent family pets and lively playmates for children.
Doberman Pinscher
Doberman Pinschers, one of the most popular dog breeds,
make ideal security dogs due to their steadfast loyalty.
Dobbies have a cheerful demeanor and are incredibly playful around family. Once
they've been properly trained, their mentality makes them fantastic at guarding their owners.
Dobermans are most suited to living indoors as they don’t tolerate harsh weather well.
So only buy one if you have lots of space and are ready to let your dog live with you.
But, that goes for most dog breeds.
Rottweiler
Rottweilers are protective of their families by nature and make excellent guard dogs.
If properly socialized and trained,
they will have an indifferent attitude toward outsiders who do not pose a threat.
But, when someone presents themself as a threat, the Rottweiler will spring into action.
An obedient dog is at the heart of every good guard dog. You must be able to communicate to
your dog that you are in command. A Rottweiler, or any dog for that matter, even the little ones,
who refuse to obey your commands can be dangerous to you and others. Basic obedience
instills confidence in both you and your dog and lays the groundwork for future training.
German Shepherd
German Shepherds are noted for their abilities to defend and serve in the police and military
forces. They have been bred for decades to perfect their instincts, intelligence,
and physical traits, and their reputation is well-deserved. German Shepherds can withstand
blizzards, hard hits, and other dangers that heroes confront. Their amiable temperament and
obedient disposition make them excellent guard dogs as well as loving family pets.
Boxer
Boxers are a faithful breed of dog that is ideal for households with children.
They are typically pleasant and energetic, with plenty
of energy to play while remaining vigilant for any potential threats.
Boxers are noted for their intelligence and love, which when combined produce a tradition
of devoted loyalty. With the family, they are also known for no small amount of playful antics.
Bullmastiff
The Bullmastiff is a huge dog with a muscular build. They are obedient and act as natural
protectors of the home. Protective behavior is a sign of their commitment.
These gentle canines are ideal for families since they are mild enough to engage with children.
Bullmastiffs are also excellent trackers and have exceptional agility.
