Vet shares four best dog breeds if you want security and protection

It’s no secret that us Brits love our dogs.

They’re great company, walking buddies and simply inject some much-needed joy into our lives. But, according to one vet, there are four breeds that offer maximum security and protection.

Amir Anwary is known for making viral videos on TikTok where he issues people advice on pets and their health. If you’re looking for a pooch to always protect you, he said there are some breeds you should really consider.

Though he admits it’s based on his personal opinion, his experience in the field has led him to rank his top four. If you have a pet, maybe you’ll agree with his thoughts.

Cane Corso

Cane Corsos are known for being loyal, affectionate and having strong protective instincts. As well as this, they can be gentle with children if trained how to socialise properly.

German Shepherd

German Shepherds are normally seen as protection dogs as they are intelligent, strong and also have a deep instinct to protect their owners. They are also easy to train, and are commonly used in police and military work and search and rescue operations.

Tibetan Mastiffs

Tibetan Mastiffs are also known for their ability to protect. In fact, they have been used as guard dogs in Tibet for centuries. They are naturally protective of their owners, and tend to be weary of strangers too.

Rottweilers

Rottweilers are also known for being good protection dogs, as they are loyal, intelligent and strong-willed. They have a natural instinct to guard and protect, and are usually vigilant and cautious around strangers and new dogs.

The video has been viewed over 17,000 times since it was shared, and people were quick to share their thoughts too. Hundreds were keen to offer their poochy opinions.

One person said: “My Cane Corso is a great guard dog unless the weapon of choice is a vacuum cleaner.”

Another added: “Cane Corso is my dream dog. My first dog is a tiny Maltipoo. Do you think I’m now ready for a Cane Corso?”

A third replied: “The Tibetan Mastiff is my dream dog. Big old lion of a dog.”

Not everyone agreed with his thoughts though, as one more commented: “What about Dobermans? Your honest opinion.”

Another also chimed in with: “Tibetan Mastiff? That’s not a guard dog – that’s a bear!”
