Now in today's blog we're going to break down the top 10 most popular guard dog breeds in America

 

Welcome back to doggyz 2020 blog if you are new here then my name is ABHISHEK.

 

So let's dive into today's blog i'm going to jump straight into the list of Top 10 most popular guard dog breeds in the United States of America and watch out some of the breeds that made it on this list might very well surprise you.

 

And right at number 10 we have the beautiful Rhodesian ridgeback now this may come as a surprise to some of you as the ridgeback is not commonly regarded as a super specific guardian breed however these large dogs were bred in Africa for the purpose of apprehending lions or at least until the hunters could get there because the hunters would do the ones that would actually hunt them and it goes without saying that such a role requires an absolutely fearless dog that is more than capable of defending its owners and its owners property at the same time the ridgeback looks deceivingly mellow in its outer appearance unlike the stereotypical bully breed looks of breeds like the rottweiler or the mastiffs or pit bulls this alone can make life easier for owners as they will not attract negative comments or having that so-called dangerous dogger on their lead now the rhodisian ridgeback is still a natural protector as well as a fun loving active family companion it's short wheaton coloured coat with its characteristic ridge on the dog's back is as beautiful as it is easy to groom now for all of these reasons it is no surprise that more and more americans welcome this stunning African hunting dog into their homes which is why it ranks amongst the top 10 most popular guard dog breeds in the us.

 

Now not only is the malanois the most popular of the belgian shepherd breeds it also has become the preferred service dog breed for the police and military elite forces like the navy seals predominantly use males dog sport enthusiasts the world over have been following this trend in recent years and gradually gravitated much more towards malanois these extremely agile high-energy dogs are said to trump even the famous german shepherd in terms of intelligence trainability and agility this makes them the perfect choice for dog handlers engaged in high level obedience and guard dog training such as ipo or french ring training evidently these Belgian shepherds are top notch athletes and working dogs but what makes so many standard American dog owners choose a malanois perhaps it is their reputation as kind of the best of the best when it comes to personal protection and garden or maybe it's more their ability to easily adapt to different living situations and malanois is the perfect canine companions for people and families with extremely active lifestyles very keen alert and always in a state of readiness the malanois is not only an excellent guard dog but also an amazing companion for all kinds of outdoor activities like mountain biking, jogging, hiking or swimming one thing is absolutely for certain americans love their malanois which is why they have gained a spot on our list of top 10 most popular guard dog breeds in the us.

 

Now the number eight spot on our list goes to the italian guard dog breed that has been absolutely booming in popularity over the last few years this breed is a descendant of the fearsome mastiff type battle dogs of the roman empire these massive dogs willingness to protect their owners with their own lives is still very much prevalent in the breed today now of course we're talking about one of my personal favorites when it comes to the guard dog breeds and that's the cane corso and while some of the other breeds on this list may catch you by surprise the cane corso certainly probably doesn't their natural gardening ability is legendary coupled with their sheer bulk of their bodies and their fearsome appearance this makes them absolutely superb protectors but not only that the cane corso is perhaps the most intelligent and trainable of all of the mastiff breeds in existence they also make marvelous family guardians in fact they rank amongst the best suited family dogs amongst all of the guard dog breeds for example corso's are far more affectionate devoted and gentle towards their family than rottweilers or german shepherds tend to be therefore it's hardly surprising that they are amongst america's top 10 most popular guardian breeds the only surprise being that they don't rank higher on this list but then again this breed only recently has gained widespread popularity which is why many owners still stick with the more familiar breeds but i guarantee when we do this list again in another 10 years I promise you they'll be probably top three if not top five.

 

Now in the number seven spot our first little surprise we have the boston terrier the first truly american breed in our list today now whilst the term guard dog might not come to mind easily when picturing this kind of middle to small size snub nose terrier they do actually make pretty decent guardians of course this breed would not necessarily be the best choice when it comes to actively fending off an attacker physically but in appearance they still do resemble their fierce ancestor the battle-proven bulldogs of old england this in itself makes for a decent intimidation factor that will discourage would-be burglars from trying to enter into people's homes that have a boston terrier there as well the boston terrier combines that ball-like tenacity with the terrier's high energy levels intelligence and excellent watchdog abilities combine these features with the practical medium to small size of the boston terrier you have what many people perceive as the perfect dog for the standard american apartment dweller but also families love their boston terriers hence these affectionate companions have been able to hold their position amongst america's most favorite breed for decades

 

And in our number six spot on our list of most popular guard dog breeds in america we have the Doberman as one of the best guardian breeds on the planet the doberman is highly trainable and highly capable of protecting their family and their home from danger originally the doberman was developed by a german tax collector now due to his profession mr Doberman had great reason to want a strong and reliable guard dog by his side whenever he went out to collect taxes his sustained efforts have gifted us with a stunning and devoted guardian that we can still love today evidently america's dog owners love the doberman a lot as well not only due to their protective nature but also because they are usually so easy to live with for being such high-energy dogs dobermans are surprisingly quiet and relaxed indoors they are so attached to their family that many of them love nothing more than a good cuddle on the couch plus they are easy to groom because of all of this dobies can even be kept in apartments without much trouble which brings us to the halfway mark of today's list now things are starting to get even more interesting and at number five we have one of the largest dog breeds on the planet a breed that ranks slightly higher in terms of intimidation factor than say maybe a doberman or a malanois because of that sheer size and yet due to its low energy levels these dogs are easy to keep inside a house or even inside an apartment and we're speaking about the glorious great dane who contrary to their name or actually a german breed not a danish one even though these tall athletic dogs usually are very gentle giants they do come with an innate instinct to guard their territory and when they sound an alarm they do so with a deep booming bark combined with their imposing heads and the sheer size of their bodies this usually discourages any unauthorized entry into the property of their owners in the home and towards their loved ones great danes are surprisingly gentle for their sheer size together with their glow grooming requirements this makes a majestic giant one of the most beloved guard dogs in the us.

 

Now the number four spot on our list belongs to the Rottweiler yet another powerful german guardian breed that originated from the powerful mastiff-like cattle dogs of the ancient roman empire even today some rotties are still worked as herding and guarding dogs for cattle others have become sports dogs or service dogs for the police force and the military their high levels of intelligence and trainability make rottweilers perfect for all of those roles but the vast majority of the modern rotties lead more quiet lifestyles their job consists in protecting their owners and guarding their property numerous rottweilers also happily fill the position of loving family companion evidently guard dog enthusiasts all over america have absolutely embraced the Rottweiler wholeheartedly and there are not many breeds that can trump them in terms of popularity as the rottweiler can easily be classed as one of the best guard dog breeds on the planet it seems slightly surprising that they do not rank higher on the list of america's popular guardians and perhaps that's due to the negative publicity that the breed unfortunately tends to get rottweilers have been known To bite not only strangers but also their owners as well as their own as children.

 

Therefore the community of American guard dog breed enthusiast appears to be favoring more forgiving and gentle breeds such as the three amazing guardians that make our top three on today's list and at this point things are really getting exciting as we're going to name the top three candidates of our list of america's favorite guard dogs and the bronze medal goes to the powerful athletic and highly intelligent german breed the boxer and before we dive into the details about the… look but back to the boxer and we're going to have a brief look at to its history as a guardian breed the ancestors of today's boxers were large massive type hunting dogs whose job consisted in holding down large prey such as bears and wild boars until the hunters could then arrive like what we talked about earlier with the bridge back this task required a fast strong and absolutely fearless dog and the boxer definitely fits that bill even today later the breed was used for bull baiting and as a cattle dog for butchers during both world wars boxers serve german soldiers as guard dogs and as couriers the boxer we know and love today has retained a good part of its tenacity and skill set as a natural guardian at the same time the athletic high dog performs beautifully in all sorts of canine sports and formal garden work a real true all-rounder the boxer also is a loving devoted and playful family dog combined with its extreme low grooming requirements and its natural cleanliness this wonderful canine companion has more than earned the spot in the top three of america's most popular guard dogs.

 

As we approach the very top of our list of the most popular guard dogs in America we see a breed that may come as a surprise to many of you right here on the silver medal spot we have the english bulldog again you might be surprised to see this particular breed amongst america's top three guard dog breeds however even though the english bulldog may not be the best choice when it comes to actively fending off potential attackers they have so many outstanding pros in its favor that americans simply can't help but adore them just like we do here in england one possible reason why the english bulldog was gaining the silver medal spot on this list might be its extremely low energy levels this middle sized breed only requires minimal exercise and is perfectly suited for apartment living in addition their gentle laid-back attitude makes them perfect family companions in fact english bulldogs adore children and are known to be extraordinarily patient with them more so than the majority of other guard dog breeds but above all else it is most likely that their uniquely charming character that has made the english bulldog so very popular in the united states as to make it in the silver medal spot on this list these affectionate companions love their human dearly and have a sweet mellow yet adorably mischievous disposition.

 

And here we are at the top of today's list of the top 10 most popular guard dogs in the united states and according to the American kennel club the gold medal spot goes to perhaps the most famous guarding breed on the planet and we are of course talking about another breed from Germany and yes it is none other than the amazing one and only the german shepherd this extremely versatile working dog was originally bred to herd and protect flocks of sheep in southern Germany in the late 19th century since then their popularity has exploded and today extends far beyond the boundaries of its original role the german shepherd is part of various military and police forces all over the world and is amongst the very best natural guardian breeds in existence as well these dogs are extremely intelligent trainable and eager to please their owners the versatile germa shepherd excels not only as a working dog sports dog and personal protection dog but also as a family companion you cannot possibly find a breed that trumps the german shepherd in terms of adaptability to many different roles therefore it should not really come as a surprise that american dog owners favor this powerful canine companion above all other guardian breeds all these amazing features both on the guarding and on the family companion front make the german shepherd the top candidate on our list for the top 10 most popular guard dog breeds in america .
