Hi I was wondering is the Caucasian shepherd a good guard/protection dog and is it the best if not can you tell which dog is the best at guarding and protecting. Keep in mind there can only be one dog that is the best so don’t give me all different breeds. Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male

There is no agreed-upon consensus in the dog world as to which one, single breed is "best" at this - so I'm afraid it's not really possible to give you this kind of answer :) Much also has to do with the particular breeding lines you get your dog from, as well as the way the puppy is raised and trained. A Caucasian shepherd would be a very reasonable breed choice for a guard or protection dog, so if this breed appeals to you, go for it! Depending on your lifestyle and specific needs, you could also consider a Great Pyrenees or German Shepherd. If it's important to you that the dog be a good protection dog, I would also strongly recommend seeking training from a professional in your area to ensure that the dog understands what you want.

There is no way to answer this question 100%. There are many breeds that are great protection dogs. Some examples: German Shepherd, Caucasian Shepherd, Cane Corso, Belgian Malinois, Pit Bull, Doberman Pinscher, German Pinscher just to name a few. Your decision needs to be based on what breeds are available in your area (or if you are willing to import one) and if they come from "protection" lines. Regardless of what lines the dog comes from or what breed you end up actually getting, the main thing you need to do is have the dog professionally trained as a protection dog. Here is a link for you to look at regarding Caucasian Shepherds. I think it is a good choice for a protection dog as long as it will fit in to the rest of your lifestyle. http://www.fci.be/Nomenclature/Standards/328g02-en.pdf Hope this helps. Best wishes.
