We had a German Shepherd for 13 years and after she died we got a Rough Collie-Lab mix. He lived till 11 years and died 4 years ago. I miss him a lot. Both dogs were very friendly to everyone. They would bark but loved everyone.

Hey Patriot (and Mrs. Patriot), great video! We keep dogs as well, and you are absolutely correct, different breeds possess different qualities and attributes. Excellent point. When the kids were small we kept Schousers. No shedding, loved the family life and fought off a German Shepard AFTER guiding all of the children onto the porch. Fourteen stitches later, he did it again when a Malimute came into the yard when the kids were out! AKC papered, runt of the litter, BEST family dog ever. Smart, obedient, tolerant and loving. Now the wife and I rescue pitbulls. Great dogs when they are loved and cared for properly. Kep up the good work. As far as the "talk too much" comments, I wouldn't pay them any mind. I like the fact that you explain things completely! Great job. Both of you! God bless

I really appreciate you watching and for all the kind words. A lot of people don't know this but Schnauzers are considered protection dogs. All of them will protect their owners but the giant Schnauzers are used often because of their protective nature and their size. They are smart and like you said them not shedding is a great bonus. My wife absolutely loves them. I appreciate you watching my friend :-)

Hello KP . I've got 3 dogs myself, a rotsky , a doberman and a great Pyrenees. The Dobie and Pyrenees extremely protective of my kids . My Pyrenees is also my outside alarm system . My rotsky is my buddy my protector, when I drop the go word may God have mercy on whomevers soul he is after

I grew up with German Shepherds but when I left home in 1990 haven’t had one until 6 weeks ago I finally got me one. She came from what I am thinking a bad situation but sure took to me and my family and I believe already would put her life on the line for any of us at 11 months old

They are adorable! A watch dog is a huge asset. They are so keen. I have a friend who is in his 80s and can't hear very well at all. He has a little dog that hears and sees everything. You can't even quietly pull in the drive way that that dog don't jump up and alert him someone is there. That is a huge tactical asset. Thanks for watching 🙂

There are a ton of similarities but they have an all together different outlook when strangers come. They many times won't be welcoming to strangers even if they are your friends. They will have to be trained or somone could potentially get bit. I had a word I used with my GSD that passed away to let him know it was ok and that they were not a threat.

Thank you so much. We love him. I am not sure where you live but I bet there are some reproable trainers nearby. I am not kidding some breeds are so easy to train you can literally train them yourself in minutes. Sit, shake etc. can be taught in on session of training. Make sure they are legit but you can get a lot of awesome information on KZread. I don't claim to be an expert but if you let me know what you mean by "not really large: I can offer you some breeds that I have had or would recommend for you to get.

They get bad raps but pitbulls are the most loving , defensive ,loyal ,yet vicious to bad ppl dog ever. I've had pits my entire life. The kids were lil they'd push pull jump on and play with them .... And never saw one get upset at a child.

I have a German shepherd mix and a border collie, both are excellent watch dogs, note that I do not call them guard dogs, gaurd dogs / protection dogs have had bite training, if your dog hasn't had bite training, he's not a guard/protection dog...

@TheKentuckyPatriot

I understand your point but respectfully disagree. Protection dog breeds will naturally and aggressively bite and protect instinctively. Just like those beagles we had would hunt naturally. I am not against training but I do not believe it is always necessary especially in some breeds. I appreciate you watching 🙂

Last week I watched a Ring video on Nextdoor that was taken near my home in Seattle. It was around 1 am and shows a lone female pull up to her house and start heading for the front door . As she goes through the gate a truck pulls up, parks in the street and a man gets out without closing his door and walks towards the door clearly holding an AR pistol . She had looked back when he pulled up but just went in the house . He stops at the gate , looks around then clearly says " Dog" into his phone and goes back to the truck and drives away . She was alone in the house except for her dog which he was able to see from the gate when it greeted her . My conclusion is this was a thwarted "follow home" robbery . Or worse .

This wasn't his first time and he obviously had a partner or more. And more so, she wasn't what you consider a common "mark".

Our downstairs neighbor has a Jack Russell terrier that barks loudly at everyone but its owners. Super annoying, but if you want to have time to wake up, put on body armor and greet suspicious people at the door she is the perfect dog. I think I'd get a dog like that if we lived out in the country on a large lot. Your neighbors will be unhappy in a city or suburb though.

I've often heard firearms experts say if you buy a firearm and don't train with it, the gun is a danger to yourself and others. That goes double for dogs because you can't leave them in a safe for years! I know people who have been bitten by poorly trained protection dogs while guests in someone's home. Both guns and dogs require regular training to be effective.
