Rottweiler is one of the most popular Dogs in Nigeria. It is not a strange name in the Dog industry. Rottweilers are very muscular, however, they are medium in size. They can be dangerous, aggressive and stubborn which is why you need to train them well. Rottweilers are brilliant and stay loyal to their owners as long as they are well trained. When Rottweilers see strangers they are not familiar with, they start to growl before moving to attack. The good thing about Rottweilers however is that even their looks are scary and can chase an intruder away without them having to growl or bark. Rottweilers do not bark as loud as some other Guard Dog breeds neither do they bark for a long time but their barking can still be heard from a long distance. A Rottweiler is not that expensive to maintain and you do not have to break a bank for its feeding or checkup. Do not forget that Rottweilers are so hyperactive that they can inflict severe wounds on strangers if they are not stopped. However, this Dog breed is friendly with children and you can have your children close to them as long as you have trained them adequately.<\/p>\n
French Mastiff have very similar traits with Rottweilers but they are far bigger in body structure. In fact, they have the biggest heads in the canine world too. Its massive head is its crucial breed trait. The French Mastiff is such a great option as Guard Dogs as they are great with kids yet have an intimidating appearance to scare intruders away. The French Mastiff is a well-balanced, muscular, and massive dog with a powerful build. It has frightening features and a frightening size and can scare away intruders even without saying a word. They only bark when they need to and do not have the tendency to be unreasonably aggressive. With adequate training, they are friendly to their owners and kids and will bark when they sense danger. Overall speaking, the French Mastiff is a perfect dog for guarding homes, and they can be purchased in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Caucasian Shepherds are very popular in Nigerian homes. They can be very territorial and aggressive. They also are not best friends with children so you must be on the lookout for the safety of young ones when you have a Caucasian Shepherd. They are very large and tend to bark more and louder than Rottweilers and French mastiffs. They bark at even flies and birds so if do not like noise or live in a serene environment, stay away from this breed. However, their loud barks also make them very good guard dogs as they are able to protect you from any potential threat. Caucasian Shepherds are highly suspicious of unknown people and can be aggressive and violent when they meet strangers. Their body structure, particularly their immense jaw strength is also very intimidating, which makes them good guard dogs. A downside of the Caucasian Shepherd is that they are unfriendly towards children and you have to be very watchful when you have children around. Since they are very defensive and aggressive, it is not recommended that you have little ones playing with them.<\/p>\n

Boerboels are equipped with strength, power, and stamina, and that is the more reason you should have this breed as your Guard Dog. However, if it will be your first time having a Dog, then it is not advised that you get Boerboels in your home. You will need some level of experience to handle the aggressive and muscular nature of this dog breed.<\/p>\n
