    Training a Dorgi To Be a Watch Dog

    A lot of people get a canine because they want additional safety and security around their houses. A guard dog, or a canine that will actually stop an intruder, usually takes unique breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are superb watch dogs.

    A watch dog just simply notifies their owner to somebody approaching their home. Even though your pet dog isn't a police dog, most barking dogs will deter an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make great 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 originally used for protecting, police and military work. They are big, powerful dogs that will notify their owners to suspicious activity and can make very good guard dogs as well.

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although small, the Cairn Terrier is mighty. They are strong-willed, feisty little terriers that are very observant of their environments and will alarm their owners to any novel activity in no time. Because of this, they make outstanding watch dogs.

    3. Rottweiler - The Rottweiler is a huge German guard dog breed that is greatly loyal to its family but wary of strangers. Although, they are not a great choice for amateur pet dog owners.

    4. German Shepherd - They are superb guard dogs that will inform 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 strong dogs that are not well-suited for the rookie owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.

Dorgi Information

The Dorgi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Dachshund and the Corgi. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
