These 10 Fiercely Loyal Breeds Are Known For Being the Best Guard Dogs
3) Boxer
One of America's all-time favorite dog breeds, the Boxer is cherished for its playful personality and watchdog tendencies. Since they're high-spirited and fearlessly protective of their owners, they make great family guard dogs.
5) Belgian Laekenois
Another sought-after guard dog that assists with police and military activity is the Belgian Laekenois. Its easily identifiable coat of rough and tousled fur matches its tough demeanor. These powerful pets are known for being protective of their people and property.
7) Rottweiler
Since Rottweilers can be a bit standoffish with new people, you know their fearless temperament (and strong stature!) will effectively keep strangers away from your home! With their loved ones, though, they're extremely lovey-dovey.
8) Estrela Mountain Dog
Bred to protect livestock, this Portuguese dog breed is a natural-born guard dog. Their hearty size also secures their status as one of the most protective pets. But because they can weigh up to 132 pounds, these fluffy dogs thrive in homes with ample space!
10) Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Staffordshire Bull Terriers might look small, but they're certainly mighty! This dog breed descended from the canines that fought in England's dog fighting pits, so you better believe that fighting spirit is still alive in them today.
