3 Dog Breeds That Can Make The Best Sword By Your Side


 In a world where fear of crime and burglary statistics is at an all time high, how do you protect yourself, your family and your home against potential assailants. It does not seem like having high security door and window locks is enough anymore. Most people go one step further and invest in sophisticated crime-busting gadgets like burglar alarms and electronic access control systems. After all, there is no place like home and it’s important we feel safe in a place where we put our feet up and retreat from all stresses of the world. The problem, though, with security solutions like padlocks, alarms and access control is that they are designed to detect disturbances. That’s helpful but what next? The gadgets can’t act upon the threat and defend you or your family. By the time help comes along, the crime has already taken place.

 This is where a personal protection dog comes in handy. Personal protections dogs are trained to be fearless in defending their charge against potential assailants. The key is to find a canine companion that will, at the same time, integrate seamlessly in your family and be the sword by your side. Not all protection dogs are trained equal and picking one with the right skill set can give you the greatest peace of mind. CC Protection Dogs recommends 3 specific breeds.


 The German Shepherd is one of the most popular dog breeds in America and probably in the world having held many jobs over the years in the movie industry: leading the blind, sniffing out drugs, chasing down criminals and even serving in the military. Their key strength: they are very intelligent and have a suspicious nature, two traits that make them ideal watchdogs. It’s also worth noting that German Shepherds are active canines and without an adequate level of activity and exercise, boredom may cause anxiety and lead to things like barking and digging. Also note that German Shepherds are not the friendliest of dogs and to raise a social and well-behaved companion, professional obedience training will play a key role beginning with puppy classes.

 Quick stats:

-          Height: 24 to 26 inches

-          Weight: 75 to 95 pounds

-          Lifespan: 10 to 14 years

 

 The Belgian Malinois is one of the 4 different types of Belgian Shepherds developed in Malines, Belgium in the late 1800s. At first glance, the dogs bear marked resemblances to German Shepherds but in contrast to the latter, Belgian Malinois are shorthaired dogs with a black mask. Intelligent and active in nature, the dogs excel at many tasks. They are often used for police work and in performance events for their agility. As personal protections dogs, Belgian Malinois are even more alert than German Shepherds. They are however more sensitive and do not respond positively to harsh dog training techniques. The dogs are friendly and love to play, skills that make them popular with children. As is the case with German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois have a great deal of stamina and energy and require a high level of daily activity and exercise.

Quick stats:

 
-          Height: 24 to 26 inches

-          Weight: 40 to 80 pounds

-          Lifespan: 12 to 14 years

 
3. Dutch Shepherd

 A cousin of the German Shepherd and Belgian Shepherd, the Dutch Shepherd is an affectionate, loyal and energetic canine companion that comes in 3 different varieties: longhaired, shorthaired and wirehaired. The dogs are a rare sight at the dog park but their popularity is catching up satisfactorily.

 Quick stats:


-          Height: 21 to 24 inches

-          Weight: 50 to 70 pounds

-          Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
