    Training a Briquet Griffon Vendeen To Be a Watch Dog

    Many people get a dog because they want additional safety and security around their houses. A guard dog, or a pet dog that will really stop an intruder, usually takes special breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are exceptional watch dogs.

    A watch dog basically alerts their owner to somebody coming close to their house. Even though your pet dog isn't a police canine, most barking dogs will discourage an intruder even if they aren't large. Most guard dogs also make wonderful watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make good guard dogs.

    Top 5 Best Guard Dogs

    1. Doberman Pinscher - The Doberman Pinscher is German breed initially used for protecting, police and military work. They are huge, powerful dogs that will alarm their owners to suspicious activity and can make excellent guard dogs as well.

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although little, the Cairn Terrier is intense. They are strong-willed, fiery little terriers that are really observant of their surroundings and will alarm their owners to any novel activity in no time. Due to this, they make outstanding watch dogs.

    3. Rottweiler - The Rottweiler is a large German guard dog breed that is deeply loyal to its family but wary of strangers. Although, they are not a great choice for novice canine owners.

    4. German Shepherd - They are great guard dogs that will notify their owners of any strangers just a little too close to their homes.

    5. Akita - They will quickly signal their owners to any uncommon activity. They are strong dogs that are not well-suited for the amateur owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.

Briquet Griffon Vendeen Information

The Briquet Griffon Vendéen has a short head, low-set ears and a bushy double coat. It comes in solid or mixed colors, fawn, light brown, white and orange, white and gray and even tri-colored. They stand from 20 - 22 inches at the withers. They weigh from 48 to 53 lbs.

The Briquet is a passionate hunter with stamina and fortitude. It should be able to pick up a cold trail as well as a hot one. Like its close relations the other vendeen hounds, the Briquet relishes its time outdoors with its family. While they are not high-strung, they are lively and enthusiastic dogs. Bred to work in packs as well as on their own, they get along well with other dogs and are not overly possessive about anything. They are fine companion for children. Griffons do not particularly take to being told what to do. They do not mind being cajoled, bribed, or played with- and if these things lead them to do something their owner likes, then everyone is happy.
