π§ What Makes a Good Protection Dog?
Before we talk about breeds, letβs talk about qualities. A great protection dog should be:
- π¨ Alert (always watching!)
- π Protective (but not too aggressive)
- π§ Smart (can learn fast!)
- β€οΈ Loyal (loves you no matter what)
- π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Family-friendly (safe with kids!)
- πͺ Strong (to stop danger if needed)
- π Trainable (easy to teach)
Some breeds are born with these traits. Others… not so much. π¬ Thatβs why itβs super important to work with experts like https://protectiondogss.com, who test and train only the top 5% of dogs from trusted bloodlines. β
