What is the Best Dog that will guard me yet won’t bite?

I’m a stay-at-home-soon-to-be Mom.
And I live in the downtown area where there is a fair amount of crime.
I looked up the sex offenders in my area and there is one guy down the street who was convicted of 2nd degree rape.

Protective and non aggressive is socialised well as a pup.Dogs do NOT need to be trainned to guard to be protecitve. In fact i recon trainning to guard ruin’s the dogs natural protective instinct that develops around 18months old. Once thier physically trainned to guard. They are much more likely to BITE and attack even if NOT provoked.

Newfoundland
The Newfoundland has a wonderfully sweet and gentle disposition that is reflected in his kind expression. This gentle and good-natured giant dog is great with children and makes a terrific family dog. Toddlers should be supervised carefully as one slurp from his big tongue could knock a little one over. Newfs are quite intelligent and can be trained fairly easily using praise and food rewards. Newfs and all giant breeds should be socialized and obedience trained early while puppies and through adolescence. All giant breeds must be well trained. Male Newfoundlands can be a little more independent than females. Newfs need lots of companionship and need to be involved in family activities. Some Newfs are shy but generally get along very well with strangers. Newfoundlands are suitable for novice or first-time owners

Boxer
Boxers are good-natured, lively and playful. Boxers love children. However toddlers should be watched with excited adolescent dogs that tend to knock them over. This breed needs long and regular walks to control its exuberance. Boxers are strong and active and need early obedience training and socialization while they are still puppies. Boxers are alert, intelligent and eager to please, so they are suitable for higher-level obedience training. The breed is naturally suspicious of strangers and usually makes a good watchdog. These dogs can also be trained to be good guard dogs. The breed is suitable for novice or first-time dog owners.

Bloodhound
The Bloodhound is a kind, gentle and loveable dog. The breed is gentle and affectionate with his family and children. The Bloody should be supervised around small children and pets as he can be possessive of his food and toys. Bloodhounds are prodigious droolers. They require lots of space and a fenced yard. Bloodys should be kept in a fenced yard and walked on a leash because once they find an interesting scent nothing can dissuade them from their tracking mission. Bloodhounds are difficult to obedience train because they feel you should be following them instead of the other way around. Bloodys are slow to mature and their adolescence lasts until they are 2 years old. Bloodhounds tend to eat everything they can fit in their mouths. However with the proper training they become wonderful dogs when they mature. The Bloody needs a kind, patient and firm owner who has some experience with dogs.

Bernese Mountain Dog
Berners are outdoors dogs that thrive in cold weather. These mountain dogs are outgoing, intelligent and affectionate and make terrific family pets. The Berners love children but should be supervised with young children because they are large and can knock the toddlers over. Berners should be socialized early with small children and animals when they are puppies. These Bernese are intelligent and very trainable and make good dogs for competitive obedience trials. Berners are fairly tolerant with strangers but still make excellent watch dogs and guard dogs. These mountain dogs should not be trained to be aggressive guard dogs as they are fearsome enough already. First time dog owners can manage very well with this dog breed.

For protection . . . I know some may disagree but, it is my opinion, that the only time is it a good idea to get a dog for the purpose of protection is in professional or agricultural situations and only when the owner/trainer is humane and knowledgeable of dog behavior and dominant dog training/handling. In all other situations – probably 99.9% – an alarm system, security fence, or other measures are much more appropriate and effective.

For my son/daughter/children . . . Trust me, this will be YOUR dog! After the ‘honeymoon period’, the kids may only play with the dog, occasionally. They may groan and grumble about any dog-related responsibilities, doing them, begrudgingly, only after significant prodding from you. As children’s interests and activities change, over the years, their level of involvement with the dog will most likely be, inconsistent, at best. Additionally, your children, especially, young children, will need to be ‘trained’ in how to behave with the dog and will need to be supervised when with the dog.
