Doberman vs German Shepherd vs Rottweiler?

Question

(from greatest to least) which is the best guard dog? for property, for owner? which is ready to bite first? i heard dobermans cant fight because they're too slim and because of their head size, is this true? i like the size of the doberman i felt like rottweilers are a bit small for my preference but I'm really looking for protection and would like to know facts by educated dog owners.

Answer 1

LOL...come on over and see how well a Doberman can guard and bite. Head size has nothing to do with it. A Rottie would be the breed to bite first. Shepherds and Dobermans tend to analyze a situation before engaging the mouth. Even our county deputy was impressed with my Dobies.

Answer 2

Doberman Vs German Shepherd

Answer 3

I'd recommend a rottweiler because not only are they intimidating, but they have a strong bite. Dobermans can fight, but their slim look isn't as intimidating as the big head of a rotti. German shepherds are strong and smart but they shed a lot. Rottweilers can be great with the family are smart and protect when needed, I don't understand how you can say they're small, they are definitely huskier than dobermans and shed less than german shepherds. Whatever you choose make sure they get sociallized.

Answer 4

Doberman and Rottweilers have intimidation factors, the reason most people prefer German shepherds though is because they are the second smartest dog breed on the planet, able to learn twice as fast as the other two.

Answer 5

Burglars hate noise, they want to be in and out undetected and without fuss. A yappy dog will scare off a burglar before they even get in, as will an alarm.

We have discrete stickers on the windows that say 'silent alarm' and 'smart water'. They are very effective.



If you have the sort of low profile job that needs a higher level of security you'd have taken professional advice and wouldnt be asking here.

Unless you are avid about obedience training as a hobby, forget it. Get an alarm.

Home intruders that mean business will kill your dog in an instant and you will be left unprotected with no one aware you need assistance.

Answer 6

Even thought this was voted on, I must say I agree with the best answer, since a Doberman tried to attack me (it got out of the owners yard) and I ran at it with my arms raised and screamed and it stood there thinking and analyzing me. I was able to escape only because I figure the dog realized that I was too big to attack.

Here's the American Kennel Club (AKC) choice in order of recommendation..........

Here on our working cattle ranch, we give top preference to our Australian Shepherds, primarily performing cattle herding, and assisting cutting horse activity, and when we hear them barking at night, it's to warn of coyotes or bob cats, even a mountain lion in the headquarter's and barns area. Otherwise, they are quiet. We also have two german shepherds, and they warn of people, and vehicles, in the dark, but they won't attack. Their bark is distinctive though.

Answer 8

Is this your first dog?

If it's your first do not start with a big dog,that's my advice.

if not i would recommend a rottweiler all are good protection dogs but rottweiler is just my suggestion.

Answer 9

All three are exceptional guard dogs.

If you're a good owner then any of these three can be awesome.You need to see which one fits your lifestyle.

Answer 10

Unless you have anywhere from 10K to 35K to spend on a dog that was bred, born, raised AND trained for protection work, your questions are moot.

It sounds like you got your opinions from too much Youtube....there are better ways.

Answer 11

do research on every breed you have stated here........
