5. Caucasian Shepherd Dog
These massive dogs know exactly how to respond if an intruder approaches your house, so don’t underestimate their disarming fluffiness. Though their pretty large size can look a bit imposing, the temperament of these guard dogs can be gentle and sweet.
Caucasian shepherds are also very empathic dogs, as they are good at reading your emotions. According to a dog expert, if you even raise your voice to a Caucasian shepherd, they are going to spend the next hour following you around, as if they are begging for your forgiveness.
6. Catahoula Leopard Dog
These dogs are known for the unique spots and patterns on their coats. Not to mention their eyes are just as striking. Although some Catahoulas have brown eyes, it’s more common to see eyes that are pale blue, almost glass-like in appearance.
This dog’s temperament is intense and focused while also being playful and affectionate. If properly socialized and trained from an early age, Catahoulas aren’t aggressive toward people, but they are prone to being aloof and wary around strangers. However, keep in mind that this guard dog isn’t for novice owners.

Always loved the Akita dog..still want one, still in the process of convincing my husband that we definitely need one!!
You Left off Rottweilers.
They sure did! A quality bred Rottweiler is a joy have around. I’ve had 3 and they were big goofballs until it was time to go to work.I’ve had Dobi’s and German shepherds neither of which were in the same category as a well bred Rottweiler IMHO! I loved every dog I’ve ever owned but not all breeds have the same capabilities. Not implying that the other breeds are not good dogs they as long as they come from a reputable breeder.
You letft off Rottweilers They are the sweetest and loving animals. It’d all in the way they’re trained and brought up.
Pit Bulls another animal that is sweet and loving once again, it’s how you raise them and train them. My nephew has one and he never meets a stranger, he loves every body. He loved the fireworks.
Yes, we love Dobermans, Willow is our 4th, once we got our first Doberman, we were hooked. The lovable, loyal dogs are definitely a plus when looking for a guard dog.
You left out one of if not the best family/guard dogs. The Rottweiler. Rotties are intimidating guard dogs, who also fiercely loyal to their family and can be equally gentle and a bit goofy with that family.
