So what are the top 9 guard dog breeds for lazy people or
just those that like to chill out and aren't really interested in loads of
exercise.
Welcome back to the Doggyz my name is Abhishek and I am the
founder of Doggyz on today's blog we're
going to be discussing the top 9 guard dog breeds for people that live
sedentary or inactive lifestyles which could be for a variety of reasons none
of which are bad that's your decision to make some people want to be out doing
10 hours of exercise a day some people want to come home and just be able to
cuddle on the sofa the most important thing is that you choose your dog based
on energy levels temperament train ability and different characteristics rather
than the dog slots one of the most common reasons dogs end up in dog shelters
and then unfortunately end up euthanized is because people choose a dog based
on their look and they haven't married up a dog breed that fits their lifestyle
and if you have a really high energy dog breed with a sedentary lifestyle and people
just can't cope and unfortunately have to give them up so the most important
thing is you should research these different dog breeds you marry them up and
then you'll have a perfect canine companion it is a pleasure to live with so
without further ado let's dive into the lesson
We'll start with number
9 and at number 9 I have the Great Dane now the Great Dane is one of those
amazing dogs it's just a big gentle giant they aren't higher on the less planet
for two reasons that were originally bred as working dogs that for therefore
that makes them do have a good ability to do some exercise but as long as you
blow off that exercise in the form of a good 20 30 minutes running the morning same
again in the night for the rest of the time they absolutely adore nothing more
than just lounging around having a cuddle and a good sleep on the sofa with you
now they also have an amazing intimidation factor they have a big booming bark
and from the outside do make excellent intimidation dogs to deter would be bad
guys however they're not necessarily for more ingrained guarding breeds that
love to protect and guard therefore if anyone did ever break into your house
you've kind of got a 50-50 as to the whether the dog would actually do any form
of protection or welcome them into the house to show them where all your
expensive things are now luckily the majority of burglaries are deterred simply
by the intimidation the burglars knowing that there's a dog in the house the
bigger and the more fun there it's the bark the more likely they are scaring
them off now like I say unfortunately if anyone goes past that then they you
have the decision to make as to whether you want a dog that is more capable of
guarding or not but the Great Dane is definitely right up there with people
laid-back relaxed a little bit lazy and just want a dog that will scare people
off and then we'll cuddle on the sofa.
At number eight we have one of my personal favourite dog breeds
in the world and one of my most recommended dog breeds in the world for people
that ask me for my opinion and that's the Newfoundland now bear with me I know
this is a guard dog blog and you might be going what is this guy on about but
in a similar fashion to the Great Dane people overestimate just how much they
need a guard dog on what that guard dog is capable of like I say the vast
majority of potential burglaries that are stopped by a darker stop by sheer
intimidation alone and never actually come into the property and the Newfoundland’s
sheer size bulk and thunderous bark is more than enough to deter any would-be
bad guys from trying in the first place now on top of that sheer intimidation
and deterrent that you get in the forms of garden work you also get one of the
best temperaments on the planet probably the best dog on the planet with
children absolutely gentle giant brilliant animals very intelligent love to
learn love to please their owners and are completely relaxed big cuddly soft
ease in the home now if it wasn't for their lack of gardening ability should something
happen they'd feature much higher on the list but we have to combine these
energy levels and guarding skills as well as intimidation and deterrent to form
this list and they have amazing temperament amazing energy levels fantastic
deterrent intimidation but unfortunately they do lack in actual protection and
guarding abilities .
At number seven which kind of could be joint with a they're
very interchangeable is the st. Bernard or st. Bernard however people like to
say it very very similar to the Newfoundland in terms of a beautiful very
relaxed calm temperament they love their family they love being with them and
they're like nothing more than curling up and having a beautiful cuddle with
them and again very similar to the Newfoundland will offer you excellent
intimidation and deterrent tactics but unfortunately also will fall down in
actual protection and guarding abilities.
At number six I have
another potentially surprising entrant and that's the English bulldog a real good
all-rounder in all three of these categories that were kind of looking at
excellent temperaments lovely fun characters with a low energy and love nothing
more than sleeping and relaxing they are very reactive to people if they're
coming close to your house or unto your property so you will get them barking
they have that very tenacious ability that still comes with them for what they
were originally bred for which means that they will never back down should they
actually need to perform which does give them fairly decent actual guarding abilities
now they don't really excel in any of those areas there is better temperament
dogs there is better guarding dogs and there is better intimidation dogs but
they do form together to make an excellent all-rounder which are one of thebest-looking
dogs on the planet absolute beauties and icons here in England now things are
really starting to heat up here .
At number five and at number five I have the dog de Bordeaux
or French mastiff and this is where we're really starting to level up now high
levels of intimidation and deterrents high levels of natural guarding instincts
should anything happen and an excellent temperament again very much like the
English bulldog being great all-rounder’s but just better in every area the
English bulldog when we're talking about a guard dog for lazier people.
At number four you're gonna start to notice a little bit of
a trend here and we have the Tibetan Mastiff again absolutely brilliant dogs and
in the home you'll find that they are fantastic temperament 'add they love their
family and love to be with them in a very relaxed they have incredible
intimidation and deterrent factors and their barks are absolutely insane and
their actual protection ability is through the roof especially their natural
internal desire to protect and guard the downside of the Tibetan Mastiff is
that they can be very independent and will often make garden decisions for
themselves especially if you keep them outside of the house and they've got the
ability to be independent and row.
And number three I have the Neapolitan Mastiff and in terms of
looks an absolute one of a kind that melts my heart any time I see one those wrinkles
and that droop ajiz off I absolutely love it they are fantastic dogs they are
also very very low-energy relaxed dogs yet will at a moment's notice kick in
those guarding instincts they also have a deep low thunderous bark and will be
reactive if somebody is snooping around you that shouldn't be there so their intimidation
and deterring capabilities are fantastic they're also often used in their
homeland of Italy as natural family Guardians and combined with their low-energy
nurse means that that does make an excellent family Guardian for people that do
lead more sedentary lifestyles.
And taking my silver medal in the number two places but
Bull mastiff one of the best natural Guardian dog breeds in the world you do not
have to teach them to protect whatsoever they are also right near the top in
terms of intimidation factor and that bark is absolutely thunderous should they
use to use it if anyone would even dream of coming snooping around your house
and saw that bull mastiff sat in the window staring at them they will very
quickly turn around and go the other way and if they are foolish enough to come
into your house and threaten either yourselves your family or your property it
would very much end up in being a bad day for that bad guy they also are very low-energy
similar to some of the other breeds higher up on this list they like nothing more
than just a bit of exercise to blow off some steam less so than a breed like
even the cane Corso once they've got rid of that energy they will happily sit
in the Sentry mode and watch and guard your house all day whether you're in or
whether you're out.
And at the number one spot taking my gold medal is the breed
that I came very very close to choosing and was a close second when eventually
I chose the clinic or so and that's the English Mastiff and the only reason I
didn't choose the English Mastiff was just because of how low-energy they are
and they wouldn't be able to come with me on some of the hikes I like to go on
they are absolute gentle giants in the home with yourselves and your family and
their loved ones however they take Good in them and looking after them very seriously
but only if they have to get up and do it other than that they would like nothing
more than just a curl up and sleep all day and just keep half an ear out should
they need to kick into action but if they do need to kick into action there are
not only the heaviest or the largest of all the dog breeds on the planet they
look the part they sound the part and should they ever actually need to kick
into action again they're more than capable of wide varieties of natural
protection work don't involve any training so a brilliant temperament excellent
companions and lovely to be around and in the family but if you ever did need some
garden work also make an excellent choice and that's why they taught my lessons
the best guard dog in the world for lazier people.
