Documentary TV producing the best breed documentaries on YouTube

hey, what's going on guys this is Zeke this is documentary TV the YouTube channel for dog lovers if you want to follow me on

instagram Facebook

Or Twitter just search the documentary TV and you can find me there today

I'm doing a video, or best dogs for home protection without the need for additional training

I'm doing this video for two reasons one because you asked for it and two because I think it's a great subject to cover on

this channel

a

Good home protection dog is what meany you guys are looking for in a pet it will train protection dogs causing as much as fifty

thousand dollars but most of us that can be cost prohibitive

I know it's cost prohibitive for myself so I put together a list of great home protectors that I believe will do a great job

Based on their natural instinct basic obedience training and proper socialization

Which means you do nothing more than what an average pet owner would do when having a pet

But you will have two added benefit of having a great home protector and a security system in your home

Natural instincts aka genetics are characteristics that were selected in a dog breeds development many

Breeds were selectively bred to be loyal and protective and territorial and those are great. Building blocks for home protector

All dogs need basic obedience training this training is important because all pets need a set of

instructions and limitations I call basic obedience

Basic communication it establishes the what when and how your dog should behave and your ability to direct and control

that behavior

Next we're going to want proper socialization in our home protector this will give you dog the tools to recognize appropriate behavior and different environments

You will also be able to identify

When other people or other animals are not behaving properly and he can respond accordingly

Other things that I take into account, when considering a good home protector is the dog size

velcro breeds and the breeds energy level

Size is important because the reality of it is that most home protectors will have to be man stoppers you're gonna want a dog that's

Gonna, be able to deal with a full-grown man

delgo breeds are great too because they are always by your side

The moment something goes down you won't have to find your dog or call them to your side he will always be there with you

That's especially great, when you have small children who may not immediately recognize danger

Energy level is important for me because in most cases high energy breeds are

counterproductive and in a family setting

Most families appreciate a calm relaxing environment you know what your home protected to be a disrupter or distraction to your family's peace

For that reason I have a spoiler for you guys the Belgian Malinois and the Dutch Shepherd are not on

my list they both could be great home protectors

But I feel like they will need training and may cause disruptions in a typical family setting

This video consists of breeds that I believe make great home protectors the order in which these breeds are presented is not chronological

This is not a ranking any of these breeds will do but next job is the home protector as well as being a great home

Companion you should choose your breed based on your taste your needs your lifestyle and your family's resources

So here are my 10 protection dogs

First I want to start with the Akita I don't like to expect to see of this breed is 10 to 15 years the weight

Is about 75 pounds for a small female up to 120 pounds for a large male the Akita is said to be composed

Dignified aloof and confident

The Akita is big enough to stop a man and athletic enough to chase them back up the window who snuck in through

He is devoted to and protective of his family especially children

But can't be eluded toward strangers and potentially aggressive towards dogs that he's not familiar with so proper socialization will help prevent any unnecessary

Standoff, isness or aggression you're going to have to be on top of obedience training because they can be independent thinking making them more likely

to try to solve problems on their own

Another ding on this brief for me is the hair but grooming is a small price to pay for such an amazing and loving breed

the next breed I have on my list is a cane Corso

life expectancy 10 to 12 years with the weight of a small female being about 8 8 pounds up to

120 pounds for a large male the kind of core soul is trainable as a balanced temperament

And protective and very courageous there are a lot of masters on my list

That's because masters as a group were developed primarily for guarding and protecting while maintaining a strong emotional connection with their family

The kind of course

Elizabeth and that is on the largest size but maintains exceptional athleticism the tiny core so has versatile in its ability

it can be a close protector like a bull mastiff but

Also has a athletic ability to do a lot of the running and jumping of smaller breeds

The next breed on, my list is the Doberman Pinscher life expectancy of 10 to 13 years

Weight of about 71 pounds for small female up to a hundred pounds plus for a large male the Doberman is known for being loyal

Fearless obedient alert

confident and intelligent the Doberman is a great companion and makes an amazing emotional connection with his family

This breed is one of the more energetic breeds on this list but will do well in a home environment

with moderate physical and mental activity

The Doberman is a great mix of size and athleticism making him physically and mentally at exceptional home protector

The next breed on my list I have is the bull mastiff a life expectancy of about 8 to 10 years now the reason why

I'm including life expectancy and with these breeds because I feel like as a family dog you're gonna want a long-lived dog

And the format's of is one of the lesser

live dogs on this list but if you can get your dogs in 10 years that's a decent amount of time to have with your

family dogs

The weight on the bull mastiff is 100 to 130 pounds the bull mastiff is known for being loyal

devoted

protective loving calm

Powerful and courageous the breed has a size and instincts to take on a man they were actually developed specifically for this purpose

this breed gets a high

Velcro score for me now their goal means to me that you will never have to call your bull mastiff to your side this breed

will stick to his family like glue and

proximity is a great trait for family companion the bull mastiff has a

territorial and protective genetics to be exceptional to be an exceptional home defender in

addition it is a relatively low energy breed that won't require tremendous amount of activity to be happy

Keep an eye on your bull mastiffs weight they are one of the least athletic breeds on

My list but a well bred and well-conditioned bull mastiff is more than athletic enough to protect you in your home

The next breed on, my list is a Presa Canario life expectancy of 9 to 11 years

The brief ranges in weight between 85 pounds for small females upwards of 130 pounds for a large male

Let me make a quick note I know that there's a thing right now with presses and they're getting up to

170 180 pounds I'm not a big fan of this weight for this breed at this weight they appear to be far less

Athletic and have less drive to things that are essential and in a proper home protective

All pressers though are suspicious strong-willed gentle and calm and they can be a bit dominant

The presa is a dicey breed in terms of his temperament and dog aggression making obedience training and socialization

Extra important for this breed on other hand a well bred trusted is second to none

but finding a well bred presa can be the issue

The breeders been recently reconstructed and therefore there's not a lot of consistency right now within this breed

Especially not, when you compare to the other breeds that are on this list

but at its best the pressa is comparable to the American Pit Bull Terrier in terms of Drive

With the natural protective and gaurding instincts of an English mastiff which make it an exceptional exceptional home protector

The next breed on my list is the Rottweiler and I'm sure you guys have tired of seeing Rottweilers on my list but

I love this brief and as far as home protectors go

They have to be on the list the breed's life expectancy is 8 to 10 years small

Females weigh between around 77 pounds and large males up to about 130 pounds so Rottweiler is fearless

good-natured devoted obedient Tom and courageous this breed can go from teddy bear to grizzly bear and aterna one bad Act

Meaning your Rottweiler could be on the slope or cuddling up with you and a second later

Tearing up and intruded it's broken into your home

Roddy's are natural protectors and fearless in battle and this breeds bite force is legendary the reason why many Police

Department's stop using Rottweilers because of the amount of damage the dogs inflicting on suspects was created incredible

Liability for police departments all over the world now I want to take a second to address an issue I

Suggested in another video that the rotweiler would be great for single moms

There were several comments claiming that the breed is too much for a woman to own

gods-damned to 2019 I need you guys to get out your feelers about what women can and cannot do I

Meet countless women with Rottweilers and I've never met a woman with a Rottweiler who had an issue controlling her dog

Rottweilers are amazingly intuitive they connect with their owners they are obedient they are powerful but if you put in the right

Infrastructure in terms of obedience training and socialization anybody can have a Rottweiler and they make exit home protectors

The next breed on my list is the giant schnauzer life expectancy of 12 to 15 years

With small females weighing about 60 pounds of 210 pounds for large males the giant schnauzer is loyal courageous

Highly intelligent strong will and can be a bit dominant there's no limit to the capabilities of a well-trained giant schnauzer

obedience agility

Tracking carding herding and Home Protection are among the jobs that this breed will excel at

Like the Doberman the giant schnauzer is a great mix of size and athleticism

The breed is hiring energy that most of the breeze on

My list but does well indoors it makes for great

companions the giant schnauzer is highly intelligent so we're very little effort you yourself could probably train your

Giant schnauzer to do some advanced protection work

Other - mm has the added benefit of being hypoallergenic which is great for families who suffer from allergies

The next breed on my list is the Beaueron, life expectancy of 10 to 12 years our weight

66 pounds for a small female on 99 pounds for a large male the bolsheviks fearless intelligent protective and calm

For me the beauceron is a more family friendly version of the Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd it is not as sharp

mentally or as high in terms of drive as of

But has more than enough intelligence and drive to be an exit home protector it

Also has the added benefit of being and incredibly loving an

emotionally supportive companion this breed is highly intelligent and amazing at problem-solving

Boxer life expectancy 10 to 12 years weight 50 pounds to 80 pounds for a large amount

the boxer is devoted fearless loyal energetic

Clownish brave and confident the boxers energy level is on the higher side for breeds on this list but the extra activity

Won't kill you and will probably make you healthier

Boxers are a solid home protector because they are loyal brave and fearless to create a strong bond with their families but the best thing

About a boxer is that added humor and light they will bring to your life

They are a good-sized breed with exceptional athleticism and strong protective instincts

And guys the last breed on my list is the German Shepherd

I say this because I know many of you guys were expecting it I saved it for last

Hoping you guys will stick around the single was on the list the life expectancy for this breed is 9 to 13 years

The weight is about 50 pounds for a small female 290 pounds for a large male the German Shepherd is loyal obedient

alert highly intelligent confident curious watchful and courageous

but police and military work being a big part of this breeds development for the past 100 years the

German Shepherd is especially equipped with the skill set for home protection

and working line characteristics like intelligence trainability courage athleticism and confidence are

highly selective making today's average working line German Shepherd

Exceptional in these areas

The breed is known for exceptional loyalty which means you won't have to go looking for your German Shepherd when trouble strikes

You will come looking for you and he will be more than willing to put themselves between you and high

And like the Giant Schnauzer German Shepherds are highly intelligent and will easily grab advanced protection skills that you can teach them yourself

All right guys there you have the decimal s great home protectors

Without the need for a whole bunch of training. I think it ought list you'll find that there's a tremendous amount of

fearlessness courageousness

protectiveness and

athleticism and all of these breeds and that's those are basically the

Foundations and the building blocks that you're going to want in a home protector if you guys haven't already
