My Cane Corso goes from 0-100 when people come on the property. As soon as I tell him it’s safe, he’s chill and friendly with the person he just wanted to rip the head off. It’s so cool and he definitely does scare the shit out of everyone. He’s also happy to lounge around the house or go do some exercise, as long as it’s not hot.

I’ve always lived with giant breeds. My parents had St Bernard’s when I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve had Great Danes, Newfoundlands, and English Mastiffs. The downside is they don’t live terribly long and are extremely strong, so being drug around is going to happen until they’re trained. But dogs from the working dog group are the easiest to live with.

They all have a different guarding style. The Saints were an all around protector of property and people. My Newfoundland was very much a personal protection dog, without any training. She moved in many times to guard me personally l but did not guard the property. My mastiffs are mainly concerned with guarding the property and aren’t to quick to guard people, other than stand there looking imposing.

I never hear anyone mention Bouvier des Flanders. I had one for several years and he was amazing with our kids but was also very alert and willing to put himself between his people and a potential threat. I think they are very underrated dogs

I love my dog and he loves me.
Bullmastiff/Australian shepherd/Doberman mix... mom was a bullmastiff and dad was a Australian shepherd, Doberman pincer mix.
He's are guard and I'm his guard.

I seen a bloke with a huge black and tan Hovawart last week. A big noble and handsome looking dog with a guarding and watchful presence about it.

I have a chow chow so loyal to the family very chilled not looking for long walks i love the breed

[perriecampbell]

I no longer have one, but Elkhounds are outstanding all-round dogs and would be a great choice for a family guardian.

Love the channel Will! Long time follower. Recently I've had the pleasure to spend time with my friend's Dogue de Bordeaux. I had never put much thought into them when thinking about a future guardian, but I think they're great. Recency bias of course, but they're smaller than say an English Mastiff, Bullmastiff, or Boerbol; but they're not as high energy as the Cane Corso or Presa Canario. I was wondering if you might have anything to add to my surface level observations. American, but cheers mate

[amyjenison]

Any thoughts on a Presa Canario as a family guard dog?

[STJ-]

What do you think of the little known Bouvier des Flandres???

[michaeljuanis]

I would love too know what you think about neapolitan mastiffs ? Me and my family are highly considering one . great videos .

[kerrymoore]

I’ve just lost my 11 year old Rottie, now I just have my 7 year old Presa. She is a fantastic family dog, but also has incredible guarding instincts

[bojacksonsuperturtle]

Mastiff in the back like “ dislike my dads video and I’ll eat you” 🤣

[mitmamitmus]

Central Asian Shepherd is the best of the best imo

Very 1/100 but my nans family had a newfoundler a story I’ve heard so many times! He dog had just kind of turned one day and completely mauled another boy a family member, he suffer major life threatening injuries his neck and one arm was bitten he lives but the Newfoundlander was out to sleep again very unfortunate circumstances sometimes even a profound breeder has an off dog! This could be due to inbreeding which is to this day a huge issue is breeding your canine but this simply was a bad day bad circumstances because the dog was actually known to be great with kids but there is always and a chance!
