8. Chesapeake Bay Retriever
This powerful guard dog boasts a wavy, waterproof coat that makes it stand out among other retrievers. Yet, you can still expect the energetic and loyal traits that make Golden Retrievers one of the most popular pets.
Chessies can be aggressive if they aren’t well-trained. If you don’t take steps towards showing you’re the master and let them develop a dominant personality, they can become hard to handle. That’s why it’s important to teach them that it’s you who makes the choices, not them. In other words, Chessies need to be consistently and firmly trained.
As a guard dog, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever is cautious and not overly affectionate with strangers.

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.
