I am planning on getting a dog within the next year, and I want this one to be a guard dog with the ability to sense threats, and act accordingly. I have not owned a dog for a long time, and so far, the best guard dog I ever had was a male Border collie. He was never trained, and he was one of those natural born watch dogs.
When somebody pulled up in a car, and he didn't like them, they did not get out of the car. He would go from a loyal ole dude to a snarling slobbering beast at the drop of a hat. And in almost all cases, he was right about that person who was trapped in their car, becaue I didn't trust them either.
He was a rare case, because I have owned other Border Collies, and they were not near the watchdog he was.
I may get a German Shepherd next time, whadya think?
