I need a good watch dog. I've had a doberman and german shepherd that I liked very much because they were sweet to people they knew and scary to people they didn't. Later, I got a golden retriever, which was much less intimidating, but made a better watch dog than I'd think and was the best all around dog I've ever had. Ever since he died a year and a half ago, I've thought about getting another one, but am scared it wouldn't be as good of a watch dog. There are some cute saint bernard puppies for sale and I've heard that they make very good dogs, but my only worry is how big the thing will get. My uncle had a saint bernard rotwieller mix that looked more like a horse than a dog. I wouldn't mind having a big dog if I thought it'd be happy in my back yard. I have a good size back yard, but I need to know how big int needs to be to have that size dog in it. WDYT? (link)

Good guard dog breeds would include, pit bull *they aren't vicious regardless of what people say, as long as they are brought up properly, they will be loving and kind*, dobermans, rots, great danes *yes, they are huge, but do not need much space at all. Originally bread as roman war dogs. More for guarding though, and very sweet.* But really, if you think about it, any dog can be a guard dog, so long as raised properly, though there are breeds that were/are specifically bred for that reason. As for yard size, so long as the dog has enough room to run around and be a goof ;p he'll/she'll be happy. Now for names, I honestly believe that the owner should name their new friend, it'll mean more. You don't want to regret a name someone else chose for ya ;p. If anything, think of things you like, vikings, pirates, certain holidays, etc. And come up with a name from that. My dog is named after the original celtic name for Halloween, Samhain *Sah-Win* because my mate and I really enjoy the holiday ^_^ lol Good luck :)
