German Shepherds do make excellent guard dogs, but their propensity for eating small children means they are only suitable for child free locations. Rottweilers are very easy to bribe; drop a piece of raw steak in front of one and it will let you walk away with whatever you can carry. Now a Doberman won't let anyone near your property, but, if it's in a certain mood, it won't let you near it either. Perhaps some kind of crossbreed is the way to go. Hope you found this helpful, ali. thumbs up

Ali, a guard dog is supposed to alarm you ,and then you should deal with whatever is out there-if you want or expect from the dog ,more ,like to attack on command ,or to impress some friends and neighbors ,that's a different approach .
Depending what kind of a character you expect from the dog -check out his parents first ,their character,and according to that,purchase...
later check out training methods and start working with the puppy
Myself, i prefer terriers

You need to be an experienced owner to manage a rottie or doberman

German Shepherds also need lots of training and exercise, but are easier to manage for an inexperienced owner

Hey Ali, if you really want a dog for protection why not consider this Belgian Malinois breed?

Working Malinois (super dogs)

He wants a dog that will guard his property, not one that is more interested in impressing the intruder with its circus skills.

Hi Ali..wave

I've written extensively about dogs and what breed to choose if you look at my blog.

The 3 breeds mentioned above...shepherds..rotties..and Doberman...need a strong pack leader!! Or they can all be dangerous.

Do you want a dog that guards and don't let people in?
Or one that doesn't let people out if they break in?
Also...do you want a killer dog????

All these are factors to consider.

I've had 2 rotties...also shepherd dogs and rotties are certainly more reliable...if you have them under control..
And they're a one master dog.

My dogs were all obedient and all served their purpose.


As for what Molly says: you can bribe rotties with some meat?????
Mine couldn't be bribed as I taught them not to take food from anybody.scold

It's hard to beat a good German shepherd from a good German bloodline........... bred for guarding. However you can get good or bad in any of the breeds you mentioned. Take a good look at the parents and see how they are trained before deciding on a puppy. Expect to pay a lot for a top quality dog.

Hi Daniela , that's a good info , personally I like an aggressive protective dog to be with me on the farm as well as an active dog at home at night time wave
