A German Shepherd is a naturally a guarding dog with excellent skills.
They will restrain your intruder and won't actually maul the intruder and normally not inflict deadly harm to an intruder.
Whereas a Bull Mastiff would probably actually aim to kill someone if provoked. You obviously don't want a lawsuit on your case.

Depends on you, as the owner. A German Shepherd would certainly be more loyal, going as far to die for its owner and is more popular. Beaucerons are much more rare. They both make good guard dogs but the German Shepherd is easier to train.

Going to get a purebred German Shepherd is male or female better guard dog but still loyal to owners and playful?
A male will be a better guard dog (hince, they are used as police dogs because they are so aggressive. You can train them to be aggressive or train them to be friendly). But, if you have children, a female is the better bet. Becasue of their "motherly instinct", female will protect the children very well. A male will probably be more playful. But whatever you choose, they will both be loyal to their owner. I hope you enjoy you German Shepherd puppy. =)

What are the top ten breeds of guard dogs?
RottweilersTraining may be required, but in my opinion they are the best guard dogs. They also have ears designed to look frightening. A rottweiler is the classic guard dog.Dobermans They can be good guards, but with poor training become lazy.Pit bulls They require a lot of training, but they have a frightening appearance and a tough bark, so no one messes with them.Collies Good guard dogs when correctly trained.German shepards Training is not always required, but if it is, it will be less than for a Rottweiler.Alsatians They look and act much like a German Shepard, but are not as big.English springer spaniels No proper training is required, but they are very smart and the owner can train them to be an even better guard dog. I myself have one, and i couldn't ask for a better guard dog. They are brilliant dogs and good pets, but because of their love of attention, they are not the best choice for a dog as only a guard.King Charles spaniels From my experience, they work well when paired with an English springer spaniel.Raiwolf: I'm not sure about THE BEST but ten extremely good guard dogs that I know of are: Rottweiler, Doberman, Belgian Shepherd (any kind), German Shepherd, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hovawart, Bullmastiff, Bull Terrier, Chow Chow, Collie (smooth or rough)P.S. I'm not quite sure where that guy ^ got king Charles spaniel from, you could easily just push them aside :PChow chows require grooming but are good for guarding and watching your home, or so i have heardAny type of Mastiff breed. They are big, and with proper training can make a loyal watch dog, particularly the Neapolitan Mastiff
