I've rescued three Akita's in my time and I'll tell you that no one will come close to harming me. The Akita's are always watching your back because of the bond of loyalty they have with you. They are great with people but will size them up first to see if there trusting. I would put the Akita in the Top 3 !!!
actuallyn Huskys do make good guard dogs. I've got a 6 yr old female siberian husky and i know for sure she'd bark/attack an intruder if there was one. I'm not saying that you're wrong or whatever but from my experience she does make a great guard dog, she's never been trained to guard the house, I've heard her barking many times at something or someone that she thought was very suspicious, my neighbors kids, she'll bark at in an unfriendly way at them whenever their talking to us over the fence, cause obviously to her they look like they're going to climb over the fence and into our garden, and my brother's friend was doing something suspicious and she started barking, probably would have attacked him if he moved, she's a smart dog and knows the difference between an intruder and a friend visiting, she'd most likely bark first as a warning and alerting us, that something's wrong.
A good guard dog is not only physically capable of taking down the bad guys but are smart and easily trainable. They must posses loyalty and protectiveness to their owner and they must be fearless. I give thumbs up to the rottweiler! With that being said there are lots of great guard dogs and they have to fit your life style and your needs!
While I agree that all dogs should be trained #1 & #2 are hardwired to be guardians, just like terriers are hardwired to go after small furry varmints. With #1 & #2 you just want to work on obedience and super heavy socialization. They do not need to be trained to guard something that they have been raised to think of a theirs.
# 22 Akita Inu - lucky we have dramatic music as he makes sure not a DROP of the water from that garden hose hits the ground. A GGD (Ground Guard Dog) :-) delightful!
I have a shar pei, wonderful guard dog, not as large as most of the dogs in the list (only around 30kgs) but bred for many hundreds of years as a guard dog so their natural instinct is guarding. They are always alert, when I'm out of the house my guy goes straight away to the upstairs bedroom to be on lookout (as the window touches the floor in that room and he can see out properly). They are also incredibly affectionate towards their owners. Very similar to the Chow Chow in look and mentality.
Good list but I think the Doberman should be higher on that list. My fathers Dober has been protecting the house for about 8 years now and it's such a caring, playful and intelligent dog. It dosen't just bark at random strangers and kids that wants to say hi or anything, it knows when danger is lurking and is a very loyal and protective dog that will do anything to keep the house safe. Before he got his Dober he had 3 robberies, now there's been no robbery for 8 years straight. Would recommend the Dober for any family that looks for a dog that has it all.
My Dad had a Doberman in the late 80s guarding his work premises, he left a small window open a burglar put his hand through trying to open the bigger window, the Doberman grabbed his hand and still had it when my Dad came back to work and rang the police, can't ask for much more than that.
Not having a RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK on the list is laughable. Commonly known as the 'Navy Seals' of dog breeds, it is muscular, fast, great endurance (can run with a horse for 30 miles), is immune to insect bites, and is one of the most beautiful and intelligent dogs you will ever encounter. The RR is THE best all-around dog, and one that was bred to hunt AFRICAN LIONS is the dog I want guarding me.
I own a Chow x Black Mouth Cur x Rhodesian Ridgeback, talk about a guard dog xD Dunno why they have Chows so low on the list, I grew up with chows and they're one the best guard dogs.
Seldenta Yep, Chows are a formidable breed, for sure. But yours is a Chow MIXED WITH a RR?? Yikes! Just thought of another Chinese breed that should be on the list: Shar-pei. Then there's the Akita from Japan, another breed I wouldn't dare want to mess with.
Seldenta BTW, when I saw the Great Dane, I laughed. They're one of the biggest breeds, beautiful dogs, but most ppl know they're usually the epitome of their bark-is bigger-than-their-bite kind of dog, generally-speaking. Almost all the GDs I've known will run if you went up and said BOO at it lol.
Mike S I know right. I was like '...Great dane, sure' but then in Missouri there was a report that at a dog park a great dane mauled and killed some dudes golden retriever so just shows in every breed theres mean ones.
Mike S And my Chow x black mouth cur x rhodesian ridgeback is badass xD He hates everyone thats not already inside the house. Nipped the neighbor when the dude i live with forgot Liam was out in the main part of the house(They usually stay in my room with me) and told her to 'come on in' as in let herself in. Liam charged and nipped her, stopped when the guy said his name though. But, as far as Liam knew she wasn't invited and was breaking in.
I almost clicked out of this video as soon as it said Siberian Husky. Huskies by nature are extremely friendly and want to be friends with everyone. They are not guard dogs lol.
***** Huskies just simply do not have an intense protective or guard instinct. That would be like trying to train a golden retriever to be a protection attack dog. That's why labs in the military are only used for their nose, meanwhile German Shepherds and Malinois are used for their nose AND as attack dogs.
Presa Canario and Cane Corso, they are one of the best to protect and guard. They can fell, when you dislike some bad person or if u fell threatened. They can fell your engery, and then they fell the right to protect their leader/master. If the owner are calm and take the leader role. The dog should have no need for attack other animals nor humans.
2:05 Me and my cousin were play fighting like that once and my neighbor's dog came to the rescue. Thank god he was only a pup at the time, and it liked me. XD
40 years creating dogs 1º German Shepherd 2º RottWeiller 3º Doberman 4º Belgian Shepherd Malinois 4º Fila Brasileiro 5º Cane Corso 6º English Mastiff 7º BullMastiff 8º Dogo Argentino 9º Bull Terrier 10º Dog Bordeux
I got 2 doberman's and one of them is over 110 pounds... He bit one stranger that came to close to our gate and shattered his arm. However, they are very affectionate to young people and will give there life for their loved ones. The reason they are called pinchers are because they have the strongest pressure per square inch in there bite. I highly recomend this dog for a loving and protecting dog.
I've owned and bought up my kids around American Pit Bulls over 20 years, no other dog I would have around my kids but An APBT. This dog will protect your family
Hard to argue with the three German breeds, they've all proven how good they are at guarding over several decades. My Dad has had Dobermans and German Shepherds guarding his work premises and both did an outstanding job, both detained intruders until they were arrested.
I have a cane corso and have had a few of the other big dog breeds you have listed in your video. Can agree for the most part on your choices cheers ;)
very good video and good list. I might have missed it but you can't have a top 30 without including the Fila Brasilero, they are one of the elite. The 2 most impressive things to me in the videos were how much bite and fight the Belgian malinois have for being a very undersized (when compared to some of the others on this list)dog. Also how great the GSD still are, the way that Shepherd recalled its bite and stayed all from the commands of the little girl was pretty impressive.
I thought it was awful watching those four dogs at the ten minute mark attacking that hog. I can only imagine how terrible the screams of that animal were. The hunter could have killed it then let the dogs go at it. Very cruel, four against one.
I use Bulldogs for wild boar hunting, I use more than one dog because I can't afford to lose a dog, it's about hunting and bringing home fresh meat. it is not about "fairness" or emotional crap
Woah the video clip of the Fila showed how the dog actually knew its job was to attack the person...after he got the arm guard off he dropped it immediately and continued going after the guy. In a different video they showed a mastiff and i almost thought he was just playing because he was hanging onto the arm guard for so long.
Good observation, filas are brazilian mastiffs, the only dog in a dog show that the judge cant touch, they were bred to hunt slaves and protect the Masters, they start becoming aggressive at 6 months and once locked on with an owner cant be transfered
I can't believe the Australian Cattle Dog didn't even make this list!! They are the ONLY breed genetically bred to fight, & one of the most protective breeds known to man. They have been conditioned to protect & control herds of cattle, maintaining an unbreakable loyalty to their owner (whom they diligently listen to to carry out their job). My dog is a ACD and she is the most loving creature towards me & my family (anyone part of her "pack"), but she will tear anyone who threatens my safety to shreds.
"They are the ONLY breed genetically bred to fight". No, there are many dog breeds developed specifically for fighting. For example, the Tosa Inu. Sorry, but you got no clue what your talking about, go get your facts straight before talking nonsense.
Boerboel should be much higher up. Reason why farmers use Boerboel more than Great Danes, Rottweilers, Dobermans etc. For guard dogs. Also the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Bill Meyer I witnessed a Ridgeback take down an American Akita/Wolf mix in 3 seconds flat. My mouth was floored. The Akita and Ridgeback charged each other. It was ended before it started.
Bill Meyer totally agree. ive even seen a video of a boerboel kill kangal. and all of those people who say German shepherd, doberman and rottweiler should be at the top just don't want to accept that there are many stronger breeds of dogs out there.
I totally agree, the Boerboel should in my opinion be at least to 3 if not no1, but these vids are whet the uploader thinks are the best, not based on facts
hello ! very good video and lots of good dogs.ive seen only belgian malinois action in live and that was very impessive.my own favourite breeds are.amerikan akita,american buldog,dogo argentino,cane corso and belgian malinois.
The Tibetan Mastiff was the only breed we just saw behind a fence and never interacting with demonstrator, trainer, or whatever the word is. There is a very good reason for that. Move this breed up!
German Shepards should be no.1-this video provided the proof.. A little girl can control it by just tugging its leash lightly and it releases the attacker when the girl commands it. But the Cane Corso and the Press Canario are majestically impressive too.
Lots of breads I never have seen, thanks. I'm a former Doberman breeder. I had some males 110lbs and they were awesome. But, I never feared when my 67lb female Tania was by my side. She was a no nonsense alligator, better than a gun. I do think, pound for pound, the American Pit Bull is a top guard dog.
Great vid. May you do some more videos. The best guard dog is the Belgian Malinois. They are seriously obedient and very loyal family dogs. I know this because I have on myself
I know that man.I agree 100%,Buth i dont have so much space to own larger dog then a Doberman.I love Dobermans so mutch that I must own 3 or more dogs to have some other rase.Boy and girl dobie coming always first.And i think that is enough to guard me and have fun with those 2,I like Rottweilers to,but Doberman is like a Gazelle when he runs.
dobermans are over rated, my niece was attacked at the dog park by a doberman that was known to be aggressive but was saved when her 3yo cane corso came back and ripped out the dobermans throat, damn near took off its entire head on one bite. id never own another dog once i saw how her corso saw she was in trouble from a distance, ran back and most likely instantly broke the neck of the doberman then proceed to drag the dog away by its neck, then once it was far enough away it came back and cried on her making sure she was ok, all this happened before anybody else could ever of reached her. truly a beautiful yet gruesome sight to be seen as the Doberman was literally missing most of its neck. and if anybody was wondering the authorities didnt hurt her corso afterwards as there were many witnesses to the doberman attacking her and the corso did as it was trained to do which is protect her.
cool rundown...love all these breeds, I have a mutt, daddy was a german shepherd and his momma was a pit/lab...he can clear a six foot fence on the run, and is strong as a mofo...looks exactly like a mini kangal, and weighs 95 lbs. interesting to see the genetic variations and similar traits in some of these breeds...all are cans of whoop ass you do not want to open...
Brilliant, agile, and tireless. My border collie judiciously guards my home and family. Most BC are sweet, loving and caring but I'd hate to be the one that pissed my BC. Hands down the most wonderful dogs ever!
Dont agree with this list attall. And the germanshepard and doberman should be at number 1 and 2 its well known that german shepards are the best gaurd dogs. Good police dogs. And good fighters. They rule
German Shepherds are popular guard dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re the best. I want a dog where guarding comes more naturally, not as a result of training. These dogs often display more cunning, skill, and intelligence in that specific task.
maybe you dont agree but doberman and german shephards are mainstream dogs and known to alot of people as it is a malinois is better and used more at swat teams and army , sad enough people always think its a german shephard wich most of the time isn't but a belgian malinois
That list has, obviously, the perspective of somebody from Greece, so they have much more breeds from south-west Asia and south-east Europe, and most of that breeds have been around for a longer time than more recent breeds, like Doberman, Boxer, Malinois, german shepherd and any american dog; for example there is a breed that for the west side of Europe would be basic, because is one that also, like many of those at this list, has been used for almost half a millennia: the Great Pyrenees.
Oscar Tapia Yeah, the Great Pyrenees (one of my favorite breeds - in fact, have one now) is exactly the type of dog I was referring to. These dogs are natural, intelligent, guardians & protectors (not just blindly following training), displaying considerable insight and skill in that. For example, responding differently on their own to similar scenarios based on different circumstances. There are several other such breeds as well.
The Irishwolfhound is a well known wolf terminator and they have faced and killed lions. Great video anyway. I especially appreciated the tribute to the Cane Corso. We have one here at home.
I agree with you! People confuse being an aggressive dog with being a guard dog. A guard dog is territorial, and the Husky is not! A guard dog is actually very quite so it is more credible when it barks... and should mistrust strangers! Bull terriers are excellent defence dogs, but not guard dogs...
shesaidyesnoyes They don't include the Shar Pei, who have natural instincts as a guard dog, they are incredibly territorial and literally always on guard (especially when the owner isn't at home). they're smaller than most of the breeds in the list but are far better guard dogs than most of them. I think they mixed up guard dog with attack dog.
i think he started from the end of the list,meaning that the dogs he started with are the worst guard dogs.And fmy opinion is that Caucasian Sheperd and Tibetan Mastiff are the best guard dogs because they can come up with the best soultion on their own because they are very inteligent like most of the sheperd breeds,the rest of the dogs will just attack even when it's not neccesary.Sheperd breeds are the best guard dogs because they are all smart,after all people started using them as sheperds because they are smart and they don't need orders to do what is best.
+Jay Arredondo Rottweilers are herding dogs, just like German Shepherds. Both those dogs should easily take both #1 and #2 spot, instead of the dogs that were picked in this video. Both dogs are highly intelligent, though the GSD has the advantage of being smarter, and faster, while the Rottweiler is bigger and more powerful. Both dogs are used by police and military for a good reason!!
They HUNT lions not kill. They were used as bay dogs meaning a minimum of 10 of them would keep barking at the lion and keep him in one place while the hunter takes the shot and kills the lion. No dog can kill a lion
Ridgebacks are physical specimens which are hard to rival...tough as rocks! Just don't outwardly act aggressive but would push any dog on the list close.
dobermans are widely considered the best guard dogs alive, not because of brawn, but brains. I also feel German shepherds should be much higher on the list again, because of intelligence.. The more intelligent the dog, the better the guard dog. There is a reason why they are the two most used breeds in law enforcement. The biggest complaint I have for most of these dogs on the list is they don't know when to stop. You want a dog that knows when its job has be accomplished. Creating a dog with full intent to kill is stupid. Particularly pit bull and pit bull variants. This is why pit-bulls carry the most fatalities worldwide every year. That and idiots get them as family dogs. Shar pei isn't even on the list either. Alot of these are not even created for guard purpose, but rather fighting dogs. Pit bulls are not guard dogs. They were not made to be guard dogs. Nor were Siberian huskies.... although I would take a Husky over most of these dogs any day, since they are so intelligent. Most of these are NOT guard dogs. They are attack dogs. There is a huge difference between the two.

Who else agrees that this person who made the video doesn't know that much about dogs because I know all kinds of dog breeds that should have been in this video I think he just picked dogs he liked. I did like the video but any big dog can be a good guard do if they r trained right.
+Destiny Clark "...any big dog can be a good guard do if they r trained right..." this is not true. There are only a few dog breeds that can be properly trained to be a "safe" guard dog so you can leave them alone and be sure that dog wouldn't harm a child crossing the fence for the ball for example...or any other similar situation... On topic Author of this video doesn't have a clue.
+bigbrothermoe Karakachan Dog or Bulgarian Shepperd Dog imo. Not popular breed ,but who owned Karakachan with a real need to protect his property from wild animals and humans will agree with me .
I love doggies. I really love them when someone threatens me or tries to break in and their ass becomes dog lunch. These are sweet animals until they are called upon to fulfil their higher function. Love them, feed them, respect, and they are great!
BEST Dogs Overall with multiple uses which are also Strong, Loyal, Smart: 3: Bullmastiff/Boerboel 2: Cane Corso 1: Rottweiler No Kangal, No Ovcharka, No Dogo because I would not trust such dogs with my kids. Especially Ovcharka. No GSD because they are not Strong enough against my top 3. Basically, Rottweiler is the King. These dogs can do anything, they even hunt boars. I saw videos of Rottweilers raping Dogos and Pitbulls in Dog fights (which I condemn offcourse. Just want to show how powerful they are).
Cane corsos can hunt boar too.i just got a cane corso mixed with pit.he is great I have a 4 year old neice that I trust with him.he is very protective.
I really think the GSD should be number one....he was not letting that guy near that little girl and he was smart enough to stay with her .....she was barely holding the leash....smarts and strength.....thats some great protection!
I love how the music changed when the German Shepherd came.
Yeah, that was epic.
Finally a good top guard dog videos that covers some of the most important breeds in that category
I've rescued three Akita's in my time and I'll tell you that no one will come close to harming me. The Akita's are always watching your back because of the bond of loyalty they have with you. They are great with people but will size them up first to see if there trusting. I would put the Akita in the Top 3 !!!
One of the best guard dogs video I ever see in my opinion this video have covered all of the best breeds in the world
German Shepherd's have my vote 100%... The most loyal, courageous, and devoted dog.
huskys are far from gaurd dogs lol. but they are probably number #1 escape artists.
+Arkaden25 Why?
y wat
Arkaden25 why are they escape artists? What makes them so good for escaping?
actuallyn Huskys do make good guard dogs. I've got a 6 yr old female siberian husky and i know for sure she'd bark/attack an intruder if there was one. I'm not saying that you're wrong or whatever but from my experience she does make a great guard dog, she's never been trained to guard the house, I've heard her barking many times at something or someone that she thought was very suspicious, my neighbors kids, she'll bark at in an unfriendly way at them whenever their talking to us over the fence, cause obviously to her they look like they're going to climb over the fence and into our garden, and my brother's friend was doing something suspicious and she started barking, probably would have attacked him if he moved, she's a smart dog and knows the difference between an intruder and a friend visiting, she'd most likely bark first as a warning and alerting us, that something's wrong.
Grabonator86 They are extremely clever. There are a plenty of videos showing how they escape some huskies even opened doors
My Labrador is probably one of the best guard dogs around. Put a Meat pie in front of him and he will guard it diligently. No problems.

I like the fila best:) Even when the guy dropped the arm protection it was still relentlessly trying to go after him!
I like how all the other dogs have these hard training videos and the akita inu is just playing with water from a hose.
akita are one best dogs my boy won't let any one near me when I'm walking him he very protective over family.
I agree with Mike S., regarding the Rhodesian Ridgeback. My R.R./Mix is also very sociable and lovable.
german shepherd is just amazing!!!!!!!!! it's a great guard dog for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A good guard dog is not only physically capable of taking down the bad guys but are smart and easily trainable. They must posses loyalty and protectiveness to their owner and they must be fearless. I give thumbs up to the rottweiler! With that being said there are lots of great guard dogs and they have to fit your life style and your needs!
Number one and two are spot on. No training needed and take the job of guarding to extreme. Tibet Mastiff also a contender for top slot.
Training is ALWAYS required, period. Anyone who says different is doing any breed a disservice.
While I agree that all dogs should be trained #1 & #2 are hardwired to be guardians, just like terriers are hardwired to go after small furry varmints. With #1 & #2 you just want to work on obedience and super heavy socialization. They do not need to be trained to guard something that they have been raised to think of a theirs.
The best in the video is when German shepherd is commanded by a sweet small girl. Gr8 !
man that cane corso is gorgeous!!
How about that doberman?
He looked awesome in the picture, but in the video hes like a chocolate bar trying to defend its babies!
His babies known as chocolate bar babies.
Cat - Dog Fights doberman is very dangerous and can kill you
Yousef Hamm All these breeds can. Not just the Doberman.
My Rottweiler dog is also dangerous I am 10 years and he bites me (he is 3 months old)
Geez the Malinois went into that death grip like that's the dogs favorite thing to do. Notice how the guy in the truck doesn't get out to assist
I'm going to by a Doberman, it has always been my favorite dog breed

# 22 Akita Inu - lucky we have dramatic music as he makes sure not a DROP of the water from that garden hose hits the ground. A GGD (Ground Guard Dog) :-) delightful!
Holy shit that Pitbull though

Is that Two Steps from Hell I hear (music)? LOVE it!!!
THE GERMAN SHEPARD HAS TO BE ON #1 SPOT because its AWESOME
ALEX SNAKE i agree with you i love this dog
ALEX SNAKE TY SO MUCH FOR AGREEING I LOVE GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND I WANT 1 MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD
ALEX SNAKE Rottweiler!!! German shepherd sucks!
Nope. Rottweiler's are Dude open your blind eyes! Rotties are #1!
AND ROTTIES ROCK! GERMAN SHEPERDS... are cool but they would not win if against my Rottweilers!

No! The Rhodesian Ridgeback should be way up there. Best dog ever.
yes
pit bull should be #1
Luis Rivas never seen a dog pull so hard as a Ridgeback and how many of these dogs protect against lions and keep moving forward?
You're attempting to assert that Ridgebacks excel at weight pull? Is that what you're claiming?
Luis Rivas The Ridgeback is a nice dog but not really a good guarding dog.
Rottweilers and Cane Corso are my favourites.
Each dog has their own special talent
Good list but I think the Doberman should be higher on that list. My fathers Dober has been protecting the house for about 8 years now and it's such a caring, playful and intelligent dog. It dosen't just bark at random strangers and kids that wants to say hi or anything, it knows when danger is lurking and is a very loyal and protective dog that will do anything to keep the house safe.

I almost clicked out of this video as soon as it said Siberian Husky. Huskies by nature are extremely friendly and want to be friends with everyone. They are not guard dogs lol.
***** Sorry, but huskies are NOT guard dogs
Provide proof then of a husky being a protection dog or guard dog....
***** No, there's really not.
***** Huskies just simply do not have an intense protective or guard instinct. That would be like trying to train a golden retriever to be a protection attack dog. That's why labs in the military are only used for their nose, meanwhile German Shepherds and Malinois are used for their nose AND as attack dogs.
***** If you get REALLY lucky, maybe, but in general the husky breed is not a guard dog type breed.

Nice video. I have a boerboel and she is really a great guard dog . If someone walks on the other side of the road shell go crazy 🐶👍
i appreciate the work and reasoning behind the video, but i wish it didn't have the warthog attack.
I agree, it was gratuitous and disturbing-
I have a cane corso and have had a few of the other big dog breeds you have listed in your video. Can agree for the most part on your choices cheers ;)
Siberian huskies are terrible guard dogs. They're so friendly they'd even befriend a burglar if it came in to a house
He need to ad pugs and chihuahuas
very good video and good list. I might have missed it but you can't have a top 30 without including the Fila Brasilero, they are one of the elite. The 2 most impressive things to me in the videos were how much bite and fight the Belgian malinois have for being a very undersized (when compared to some of the others on this list)dog. Also how great the GSD still are, the way that Shepherd recalled its bite and stayed all from the commands of the little girl was pretty impressive.
I thought it was awful watching those four dogs at the ten minute mark attacking that hog. I can only imagine how terrible the screams of that animal were. The hunter could have killed it then let the dogs go at it. Very cruel, four against one.
That was dogo. That dog can even fk up pumas
It's same in the wild. Packs of wolves do that all the time.
Marcia Hamilton I call it life
I use Bulldogs for wild boar hunting, I use more than one dog because I can't afford to lose a dog, it's about hunting and bringing home fresh meat. it is not about "fairness" or emotional crap
Woah the video clip of the Fila showed how the dog actually knew its job was to attack the person...after he got the arm guard off he dropped it immediately and continued going after the guy. In a different video they showed a mastiff and i almost thought he was just playing because he was hanging onto the arm guard for so long.
Good observation, filas are brazilian mastiffs, the only dog in a dog show that the judge cant touch, they were bred to hunt slaves and protect the Masters, they start becoming aggressive at 6 months and once locked on with an owner cant be transfered
I can't believe the Australian Cattle Dog didn't even make this list!! They are the ONLY breed genetically bred to fight, & one of the most protective breeds known to man. They have been conditioned to protect & control herds of cattle, maintaining an unbreakable loyalty to their owner (whom they diligently listen to to carry out their job). My dog is a ACD and she is the most loving creature towards me & my family (anyone part of her "pack"), but she will tear anyone who threatens my safety to shreds.
I think pit bulls were originally bred to fight
Look up Rhodesian ridge back, they were bread to hunt lions.
Shadebeast Gaming no they actually weren't
I really hope you are just trolling.
"They are the ONLY breed genetically bred to fight".
No, there are many dog breeds developed specifically for fighting. For example, the Tosa Inu. Sorry, but you got no clue what your talking about, go get your facts straight before talking nonsense.
Number 13 the car drives away lol😂😂😂😂😂
Boerboel should be much higher up.
Reason why farmers use Boerboel more than Great Danes, Rottweilers, Dobermans etc.
For guard dogs. Also the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Bill Meyer I witnessed a Ridgeback take down an American Akita/Wolf mix in 3 seconds flat. My mouth was floored. The Akita and Ridgeback charged each other. It was ended before it started.
Bill Meyer totally agree. ive even seen a video of a boerboel kill kangal. and all of those people who say German shepherd, doberman and rottweiler should be at the top just don't want to accept that there are many stronger breeds of dogs out there.
I totally agree, the Boerboel should in my opinion be at least to 3 if not no1, but these vids are whet the uploader thinks are the best, not based on facts
Loved the video. Can someone Please tell me what the music was in the background?! I LOVED it!!!
German shepherd and doberman .
brazilian fila(fila brasileiro)
Belgin malinois
Mely J MALINOIS
hello ! very good video and lots of good dogs.ive seen only belgian malinois action in live and that was very impessive.my own favourite breeds are.amerikan akita,american buldog,dogo argentino,cane corso and belgian malinois.
Siberian huskies r not guard dogs ........ they r escape artists........
The Tibetan Mastiff was the only breed we just saw behind a fence and never interacting with demonstrator, trainer, or whatever the word is. There is a very good reason for that. Move this breed up!
Cane Corso is the best!
German Shepards should be no.1-this video provided the proof.. A little girl can control it by just tugging its leash lightly and it releases the attacker when the girl commands it. But the Cane Corso and the Press Canario are majestically impressive too.
Anatolian sheperd is the best !
The bull terrier looks so. Funny
but great danes are kinda big babys.
Lots of breads I never have seen, thanks. I'm a former Doberman breeder. I had some males 110lbs and they were awesome. But, I never feared when my 67lb female Tania was by my side. She was a no nonsense alligator, better than a gun. I do think, pound for pound, the American Pit Bull is a top guard dog.
you should have added rhodesian ridgeback, I mean seriously there breed to hunt lions.
exactly, and they are extremelly loyal aswell. plus they have a loud ass bark which is also important for a guard dog.
SuperGrunt007 lol ikr, I have my own rhodesian myself.
Jordan Kittelson me too.
cool :D
I agree
Great vid. May you do some more videos. The best guard dog is the Belgian Malinois. They are seriously obedient and very loyal family dogs. I know this because I have on myself
Doberman should have been at or near the #1 spot. IMO.
Exactly,Pitt Bull before Doberman on the guard dogs list,i dont think so.
I know that man.I agree 100%,Buth i dont have so much space to own larger dog then a Doberman.I love Dobermans so mutch that I must own 3 or more dogs to have some other rase.Boy and girl dobie coming always first.And i think that is enough to guard me and have fun with those 2,I like Rottweilers to,but Doberman is like a Gazelle when he runs.
I totally agree of not #1 at least in the top 3.
dobermans are over rated, my niece was attacked at the dog park by a doberman that was known to be aggressive but was saved when her 3yo cane corso came back and ripped out the dobermans throat, damn near took off its entire head on one bite. id never own another dog once i saw how her corso saw she was in trouble from a distance, ran back and most likely instantly broke the neck of the doberman then proceed to drag the dog away by its neck, then once it was far enough away it came back and cried on her making sure she was ok, all this happened before anybody else could ever of reached her. truly a beautiful yet gruesome sight to be seen as the Doberman was literally missing most of its neck. and if anybody was wondering the authorities didnt hurt her corso afterwards as there were many witnesses to the doberman attacking her and the corso did as it was trained to do which is protect her.
C Steele I have 2 and totally agree. not only are they the best guard dog, but the most loyal hands down brotha!
all these dogs are beautiful and great guard dogs minus a few
AHAHA its funny where is the Belgian Shepherd Malinoa
it should be at least in top 5
Milos Chanell number 18
well it's on there twice, once as Belgian Shepherd and once as malinois.
James Evans those are 2 different breeds
No such dog..
cool rundown...love all these breeds, I have a mutt, daddy was a german shepherd and his momma was a pit/lab...he can clear a six foot fence on the run, and is strong as a mofo...looks exactly like a mini kangal, and weighs 95 lbs. interesting to see the genetic variations and similar traits in some of these breeds...all are cans of whoop ass you do not want to open...
Where is the BOERBOEL??

+leon van rensburg where is pitbull ?
+Leon Kowalski @ 10:10
Brilliant, agile, and tireless. My border collie judiciously guards my home and family. Most BC are sweet, loving and caring but I'd hate to be the one that pissed my BC. Hands down the most wonderful dogs ever!
Dont agree with this list attall. And the germanshepard and doberman should be at number 1 and 2 its well known that german shepards are the best gaurd dogs. Good police dogs. And good fighters. They rule
German Shepherds are popular guard dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re the best. I want a dog where guarding comes more naturally, not as a result of training. These dogs often display more cunning, skill, and intelligence in that specific task.
Yes they are. Born to guard and protect
maybe you dont agree but doberman and german shephards are mainstream dogs and known to alot of people as it is a malinois is better and used more at swat teams and army , sad enough people always think its a german shephard wich most of the time isn't but a belgian malinois
That list has, obviously, the perspective of somebody from Greece, so they have much more breeds from south-west Asia and south-east Europe, and most of that breeds have been around for a longer time than more recent breeds, like Doberman, Boxer, Malinois, german shepherd and any american dog; for example there is a breed that for the west side of Europe would be basic, because is one that also, like many of those at this list, has been used for almost half a millennia: the Great Pyrenees.
Oscar Tapia Yeah, the Great Pyrenees (one of my favorite breeds - in fact, have one now) is exactly the type of dog I was referring to. These dogs are natural, intelligent, guardians & protectors (not just blindly following training), displaying considerable insight and skill in that. For example, responding differently on their own to similar scenarios based on different circumstances. There are several other such breeds as well.
American Akitas are amazing at protecting their owners
WARNING!!!
you have to mute the video in order to watch it
Darryl D. Ruggs I agree. The music's absolutely awful !!!
You guys suck its awesome
The music is awesome so you better respect that
Darryl D. Ruggs I prefer the sound
The Irishwolfhound is a well known wolf terminator and they have faced and killed lions.
Great video anyway. I especially appreciated the tribute to the Cane Corso.
We have one here at home.
loooool . "best guard dogs" . husky , bullterrier ... ok . this is enough for me . this top is BULLSHIT .
*****
what that have to do with everything ? it's not a guard dog . it's all that matter .
I agree with you! People confuse being an aggressive dog with being a guard dog. A guard dog is territorial, and the Husky is not! A guard dog is actually very quite so it is more credible when it barks... and should mistrust strangers! Bull terriers are excellent defence dogs, but not guard dogs...
shesaidyesnoyes They don't include the Shar Pei, who have natural instincts as a guard dog, they are incredibly territorial and literally always on guard (especially when the owner isn't at home). they're smaller than most of the breeds in the list but are far better guard dogs than most of them. I think they mixed up guard dog with attack dog.
Sean O'Donoghue I agree!
i think he started from the end of the list,meaning that the dogs he started with are the worst guard dogs.And fmy opinion is that Caucasian Sheperd and Tibetan Mastiff are the best guard dogs because they can come up with the best soultion on their own because they are very inteligent like most of the sheperd breeds,the rest of the dogs will just attack even when it's not neccesary.Sheperd breeds are the best guard dogs because they are all smart,after all people started using them as sheperds because they are smart and they don't need orders to do what is best.
German Shepard FTW! It's always gonna be in the top 5 or 3
german shepard should be #1
Rottweilers Should be #1 open your eyes
Rotwielers are attack dogs
+Jay Arredondo What kind of Dog do you have?
+Jay Arredondo Rottweilers are herding dogs, just like German Shepherds. Both those dogs should easily take both #1 and #2 spot, instead of the dogs that were picked in this video. Both dogs are highly intelligent, though the GSD has the advantage of being smarter, and faster, while the Rottweiler is bigger and more powerful. Both dogs are used by police and military for a good reason!!
And 7:08 he was gone boi. He backed up out of there so swiftly. XD 😂😭😫 OMG people I swear.
The Doberman is at number 10? This dog is a highly intelligent and ferocious dog, it deserves better ranking.
Agreed
Nope it should actually be 24 or 27 I dunno they are not THAT smart
Raise a Doberman puppy, you will find out how what they are
***** I had one
***** they were good but not better then great dane, boxer or german shepard
I like nice dogs we all love your pets
Where be the fucking rhodesian! They were bread for hunting lions!
They HUNT lions not kill. They were used as bay dogs meaning a minimum of 10 of them would keep barking at the lion and keep him in one place while the hunter takes the shot and kills the lion. No dog can kill a lion
If it were red hot and up you #$% you would KNOW!
Fang0324 LOL. What does "hunting lions" have to do with guarding?
Fang0324 Hunting tard not guarding, fishing is not the same thing as boxing.
Ridgebacks are physical specimens which are hard to rival...tough as rocks! Just don't outwardly act aggressive but would push any dog on the list close.
I really really really love doberman and wish too adopt one soon
dobermans are widely considered the best guard dogs alive, not because of brawn, but brains. I also feel German shepherds should be much higher on the list again, because of intelligence.. The more intelligent the dog, the better the guard dog. There is a reason why they are the two most used breeds in law enforcement. The biggest complaint I have for most of these dogs on the list is they don't know when to stop. You want a dog that knows when its job has be accomplished. Creating a dog with full intent to kill is stupid. Particularly pit bull and pit bull variants. This is why pit-bulls carry the most fatalities worldwide every year. That and idiots get them as family dogs.
Shar pei isn't even on the list either.
Alot of these are not even created for guard purpose, but rather fighting dogs.
Pit bulls are not guard dogs. They were not made to be guard dogs. Nor were Siberian huskies.... although I would take a Husky over most of these dogs any day, since they are so intelligent.
Most of these are NOT guard dogs. They are attack dogs. There is a huge difference between the two.
I have an American bulldog awesome guard dog so protective, where is the ridge back tho !!
And if you dont what dober men are it is the one on my screen and that my dog nad thats my dog:D
LIKE IF YOU LIKE THE DOG
Doberman are good guard dogs

There such good dogs my dad said do you want german shepard or doberman i said doberman
0:08 song? Name all the songs, please?
Who else agrees that this person who made the video doesn't know that much about dogs because I know all kinds of dog breeds that should have been in this video I think he just picked dogs he liked. I did like the video but any big dog can be a good guard do if they r trained right.
It's kinda sad all these Best guard dog videos they just pick the dogs they like
+Destiny Clark
"...any big dog can be a good guard do if they r trained right..." this is not true.
There are only a few dog breeds that can be properly trained to be a "safe" guard dog so you can leave them alone and be sure that dog wouldn't harm a child crossing the fence for the ball for example...or any other similar situation...
On topic
Author of this video doesn't have a clue.
So which breeds do you think are missing?
i see u dont know anything about caucasian shepherd :D
+bigbrothermoe Karakachan Dog or Bulgarian Shepperd Dog imo. Not popular breed ,but who owned Karakachan with a real need to protect his property from wild animals and humans will agree with me .
Any dog will protect they family ,is in he's nature no need to be train and make them vicious.❤️
I dont think that the Akita Inu isone of the best guard dog
Thats right finally
akita is an amazing guard dog
Θρυλος θρησκεια
Nebin Baby Mine were incredible.
Nebin Baby your wrong my friend's akita was put to sleep for mauling kids (the kids are not dead) i rescued them...
Hey next u make one of these vids can u in clude wimeraners and English mastiffs they r both very good gaurd dogs
this list is questionable at best
I love doggies. I really love them when someone threatens me or tries to break in and their ass becomes dog lunch. These are sweet animals until they are called upon to fulfil their higher function. Love them, feed them, respect, and they are great!
List is crap. German Shepard's are #1
Rottweiler are 1
+Luiz Felipe Sanches Eleutério nope italian mastiffs are best
Belgin malinois
Looking to get a Malinois soon, such a great dog.
BEST Dogs Overall with multiple uses which are also Strong, Loyal, Smart:
3: Bullmastiff/Boerboel
2: Cane Corso
1: Rottweiler
No Kangal, No Ovcharka, No Dogo because I would not trust such dogs with my kids. Especially Ovcharka.
No GSD because they are not Strong enough against my top 3.
Basically, Rottweiler is the King. These dogs can do anything, they even hunt boars.
I saw videos of Rottweilers raping Dogos and Pitbulls in Dog fights (which I condemn offcourse. Just want to show how powerful they are).
Cane corsos can hunt boar too.i just got a cane corso mixed with pit.he is great I have a 4 year old neice that I trust with him.he is very protective.
I got the correct dog than... I have a Rottweiler
I've heard cane corso is better guard dog but less intelligent
YOUNG LION I disagree again, sorry to offend!! Cane Corso is the best full STOP for family and home
Great Danes too, because a family has 5 kids with a 2 year old Great Dane and the dog doesn't mind the kids playing around him while he's eating
I really think the GSD should be number one....he was not letting that guy near that little girl and he was smart enough to stay with her .....she was barely holding the leash....smarts and strength.....thats some great protection!
Where is Chihuahua ? :D :D :D
