    Training a Plummer Terrier To Be a Watch Dog

    Many people get a pet dog because they want additional security around their properties. A guard dog, or a canine that will really stop an intruder, normally takes unique breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are excellent watch dogs.

    A watch dog basically notifies their owner to someone coming close to their property. Even though your pet dog isn't a police dog, most barking dogs will discourage an intruder even if they aren't large. Most guard dogs also make excellent watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make great guard dogs.

    Top 5 Best Guard Dogs

    1. Doberman Pinscher - The Doberman Pinscher is German breed originally used for safeguarding, police and military work. They are big, 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 very observant of their surroundings and will notify their owners to any novel activity in no time. Due to this, they make excellent watch dogs.

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

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

    5. Akita - They will quickly alert their owners to any unusual activity. They are powerful dogs that are not well-suited for the beginner owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.

Plummer Terrier Information

The Plummer Terrier is a very attractive smooth-coated dog with a fiery red and white coat and head, a white collar at the neckline, or a full cape. The ears fold over like most terriers, and the nose and eye are typically black, and the jaw has a good scissors bite.

A generally game working dog, the Plummer Terrier is not a Kennel Club breed, and most Plummer Terrier owners who work their dogs would prefer that this dog was not part of the Kennel Club. The Plummer Terrier appears to be a breed that has caught on in popularity among a segment of the working terrier set, and with increased restrictions on fox hunting in the UK, its popularity as a ratting dog is likely to increase.
