When searching for a dog breed that works best to guard your person and property, you should look beyond the size of the dog. Any large to medium breed dog can become a viscous junkyard dog to tie to the tree in the backyard. Do you really want that kind of beast?
Also, you need to differentiate between guard dogs and watch dogs. Are you looking for a yelper to warn you of uninvited company and fire trucks or are you looking for a animal designed and bred to protect your property?
There are lots of large dogs that can be used to protect, but you need to get the dog that is best suited to you needs and its temperament. Some large dogs are better suited for large stretches of property, while others are best in cold weather.
Before spending lots of money on a new dog, please research the breeds and select the best one for you.
