Good picks except for the Weimaraner. They need a massive amount of exercise and are known for being prone to health issues. They are great dogs though.

My own realistic list for seniors looking for a good guard dog. 1: Rottweiler 2: German Shepherd 3: Doberman 4: Jack Russell terrier 5: Great Dane 6: Amstaff/ Pitbull 7: Boxer 8: Border Collie/Collies 9: Standard Schnauzer 10: Cane Corso. Obviously these dogs need proper training and socialization to bring out their best abilities but naturally inherited into their DNA is a deep desire to protect their loved ones with all their being and to be loyal and loving while being extremely obedient and protective. There are so many great guard dog breeds and this list is my humble opinion on the top 10 Guard Dog for seniors. Smaller dogs are normally not included but the Jack Russell and Standard Schnauzer are a formidable exception. Please note these are guard dogs for seniors and not just therapy pets. The Labrador or Golden Retriever are examples. Not every dog is inherently a good guardian especially when it's not originally breed to be so. Poodles and English Bulldogs don't make the list. Also the Amstaff/Pitbull and Rottweilers get a very unjust reputation for being super aggressive and they are mainly that way due to poor breeding and training techniques used by mainly criminal minded and wilfully obtuse owners. These dogs are naturally very lovable, protective, patient and loyal. Please stop discriminating these fantastic dog breeds. As always do your own due diligence and get properly educated about the dog that best fits your needs and the needs of the dog ✌🏽♥️

I agree about the Rottweiler, they are lovable dogs their only downside bc of their biuld they are so strong that sometimes expressing their affection they can be brute in force, but the dun do it intentionally, and they are very protective and caring. GSD are excellent too!!

@mojorisin7371 …. Absolutely not. Seems like some chatGPT copy paste. 90% of the breeds FOR SENIORS “you” suggested are the some of the HIGHEST energy & exercise *required* on earth 🤨 I’m not a senior and they’re out of MY league of energy, training requirements, SIZE, and ability to keep their brain engaged. Did I say SIZE? One jump or solid knock from a Cane Corso or Rottie, and poor Nana will be getting that hip replacement she never wanted. And a Jack Russell?? It’s a terrier. I think literally the highest energy terrier on earth. I’d dislike your comment so many more times than once if I could.

English Mastiffs are great also if you can't tolerate a high energy Cane Corso. I have rescued 3 and they are amazing watch/guard dogs.

A Cane Corso is too powerful for seniors to handle....a Dalmatian protects it's owners

I agree, (almost) all of them don’t seem that good for seniors? More like a little risky🤔

Somehow dogs less than 15 lbs don't cut it as guard dogs. Watch dogs? Possibly.

You are a senior citizen and want a guard dog ? let me recommend 3 perfect guard dogs for seniors ... American bulldog German Shepard boxer

Bull mastiff would be good because they are lazy boxers have too much energy and old people typically wouldn't be able to keep up
@lordfubar16 ай бұрын
@@xdrazormon454 I can agree with you about the Bull Mastiff until it's feeding time. Might as well get a Great Dane. I kind of like Boxers, but the GSD warms my heart if I can find a medium version.
@antoinettenovella16304 ай бұрын
I love Boxers but no, I don't agree with the Boxer being a guard dog.
@Narcoleptinsomniac3 ай бұрын
2 out of 3 are absolutely insane breed ideas for seniors. Most people, let alone older people don’t have the energy/time required to properly exercise German Shepherds or Boxers. You think Nana and Grandad are out there walking/hiking/jogging at *least* an hour and a half twice a day? Nuh uh.
