Cynologists advise deciding on the dog’s purpose and only then understanding the characteristics of its breed.
While people have less and less need for shepherd dogs, no one has yet abandoned the idea of a four-legged protector or guard.
These are the dogs that are considered the bravest and most selfless.
German shepherd
It is not without reason that this dog is used by security forces for official purposes. It is capable of detecting explosives and prohibited substances, protecting and guarding, and there is no kinder creature in the house.
If the owner is in danger, the dog will not think twice.
Rottweiler
Intellectually and physically, the dog is almost as good as the German Shepherd. It is considered aggressive, but in skilled hands it is a loving and caring animal. It loves to play, but training and education are necessary.
Doberman
Another fearless intellectual. Suspicious of strangers, the most devoted dog, but at the same time very affectionate.
Belgian Shepherd
The character of this dog is very similar to the character of the German Shepherd. At the same time, the dog is kind, playful, but very strong and fearless.
Akita
The breed was developed in Japan, and the dog seems completely independent. However, it will not leave its owner in trouble and will be ready to fight back anyone.
Bullmastiff
The appearance of this dog alone can bring criminals to their senses. And in a normal situation, it is an affectionate pet.
South African Mastiff
He is also a Boerboel. A natural guard, a very strong and no less brave dog. Does not pose a danger to others until the moment when he suspects a threat to his owner.
