    Training a Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen To Be a Watch Dog

    Lots of people get a dog because they want extra security around their houses. A guard dog, or a canine that will really stop an intruder, typically takes unique breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are superb watch dogs.

    A watch dog merely notifies their owner to someone coming close to their house. Even though your pet dog isn't a police canine, most barking dogs will deter an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make fantastic 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 safeguarding, police and military work. They are large, strong dogs that will alert their owners to doubtful activity and can make very good guard dogs as well.

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

    3. Rottweiler - The Rottweiler is a large German guard dog breed that is greatly loyal to its family but wary of strangers. However, they are not a great choice for rookie 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 uncommon activity. They are powerful dogs that are not well-suited for the amateur owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.

Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen Information

Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens a long-backed, short legged hunting breed of dog of the hound type, originating in the Vendée region of France. They are still used today to hunt boar, deer, and to track rabbit and hare, but are more commonly kept as a domestic pet. They are pack dogs, so owners should either spend a lot of time with them or get a second dog or cat. They have a happy and confident personality, which can sometimes manifest itself as disobedience, but they are great companions.

The UK Kennel Club conducted a health survey of Basset Griffon Vendéens (Petit and Grand varieties combined) in 2004. This is apparently the only completed health survey (as of July 16, 2007) that might include Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen, but it is unclear what proportion of dogs in the survey were Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens instead of the more common Petit.
