Top 7 security dog breeds in Nigeria you may want to consider having for protection!, dog breeds in nigeria with pictures

PS. Ranking is my personal opinion.

1. Caucasian Shepherd
Naturally bred to protect farm animals from wild life. They are highly suspicious of strangers and can turn aggressive to intruders. Their stature is intimidating with a loud bark accompanying with massive jaw strength. Easily enters my number 1 slot.

2. Tibetan Mastiff
A detective dog, all they know is protect. Can be so cool and gentle however can prove very dangerous if owners are threatened or provoked. Might not charge at an intruder but will watch every move of such till he’s convinced such is a threat. Massive bark!

3. Cane Carso

Body built for guarding. Very pleasant and warm around owners but strangers have to deal with a dog bred from Roman war dogs. No nonsense dog, would not give an intruder chance to step a feet in their territory.

4. Dogo Argentino

White full of energy, with high pain tolerance. You’d not want to mess with a dog bred to hunt wild boar. Strangely enough, they are so good with children yet protective of their environment fearlessly. Slot in number 4 of my list.

Kaja of Opobo

No Presa Canario on your list? More common in these parts than the Dogo… Has the build and athleticism meant for a guard dog, proper bark, highly territorial when it comes in to strangers.

You chose Caucasian Shepherd ahead of GSD…#tragic they’re just loud barkers to me and I’ve seen them runaway from fights GSD will always stand their ground.

Your judgement is fantastic. For me, a GSD would be in place 1 and the Boer Boel in then 2nd place.

Why am not even placing Rott over cauc is basically Rott is more of attacking strangers than alerting the owners but for real caucasian and Rott are the best combo for guard dogs…you can add GSD to them for proper home training lol.
