Dog wonders

Ferocious dogs

I used to breed Rottweilers...they are not vicious (they do look ferocious though...friends and neighbors would not go into back yard with Barron, even with us back there. We would have to put him up)...they ARE very protective of their owners though...same with pit bulls...there are not any ferocious breeds (Fila Brasileiro are breed to be guard dogs).A little Chihuahua can be ferocious (vicious). I have been bitten by more Chihuahuas than any other dog. Just because they are small does not mean that they can't do damage.

I have been bitten by all of these "non-vicious" little dogs.Never by the "vicious" ones!If you are looking for a ferocious dog, you don't need a dog...if you love a particular breed, and it is not a "status symbol" then get your dog.I saw my first Rottweiler when I was 9 yrs old...such a majestic breed. I knew it was the breed for me...they are very gentle for there size.With any dog, you have to take responsibility, expecially with a "powerful" breed like pits, rotts and Shepherds.

Guard dogs

Many of the now prominent guardian breeds such as Rottweilers started as farm dog types but then developed over many years into guard breeds. Some breeds, such as the Weimaraner and Rhodesian Ridgeback, were originally bred for hunting, but their large intimidating look and territorial instincts have helped them evolve into guard dogs in today's society. Others like Dobermans were specifically bred as guard dogs. Many of the below breeds have a greater amount of molossoid or mastiff DNA. This is confirmed by a DNA study done on >270 pure breed dogs. The study suggests that in the distant past thirteen ancient breeds broke off early on after which a group of mastiff style dogs were developed. These dogs are grouped with the mastiffs Great Dane and Irish wolfhound. The Irish wolfhound (a traditional hunting guardian breed) has evidence that its population was nearly wiped out 200 years ago and its existing members descend from a very small group of dogs and thus it is a rebuilt breed, but evidently out of somewhat different building blocks. Some people think that the Irish wolfhound contributed to the Great Dane.

Intelligence
The Border Collie is a breed of herding dog that originated along the borders of England, Wales and Scotland. They are widely considered to be the most intelligent breed of dog in the world. These highly energetic dogs are often considered the world's best sheep herding dogs; they can be hyperactive and are frequently used on farms all over the world to assist with the handling of livestock. While originally bred for farm work, they have also become popular as pet and sport dogs. These dogs can be protective of a human family member and are, most of the time, affectionate to those they know. Because of their highly intelligent natures Border Collies must be carefully trained with a lot of physical exercise and mental stimulation included in their daily schedules.
