How to Choose The Right Protection Dog

8 February 2023

At Protection Dogs Worldwide, we pride ourselves in providing our customers with a bespoke service. Where this really matters is helping them choose the best and most appropriate protection dog for their individual circumstances. We are firm believers in the importance of matching a dog with the best home possible, and would suggest prospective owners consider some of the following before committing to making a purchase with us.

First and foremost, what kind of lifestyle do you and your family have? What are your activity levels like, and do you live in the city or countryside? Do you already have pets, or live on a farm with other animals? Do you or any household members have known allergies to cats or dogs? All of these factors would influence which kind of dog we would recommend for you and your family. Ultimately, our dogs our individuals with their own quirks and personalities, so matching this with the home environment they are most likely to thrive in is of paramount importance to us.

We also recognise that people have preferences for particular breeds based on their characteristics. For example, an active family looking for a high-energy dog that does not trigger a fur allergy may be better suited with a Giant Schnauzer than a heavily shedding German Shepherd. Alternatively, Cane Corsos or Rottweilers often do well in slightly more relaxed households, whereas Dobermanns can be excellent with children given their playful nature.

We are always happy to discuss how we can meet a customer’s needs. For more information on how we place our dogs with clients, please email [email protected].

Intelligence is subjective and can be hard to define, but there are a number of ways that dogs’ cognitive abilities have been quantified or demonstrated. In 1994, Stanley Coren published his landmark book, “The Intelligence of Dogs”. Using surveys conducted with obedience competition judges, Coren examines what he refers to as “working and obedience intelligence”, namely a dog’s ability to

Why Are German Shepherds Used as Police Dogs?

The German Shepherd is the breed perhaps most used by police forces around the world. Its capacity for work is remarkable, and it has proven itself time after time in a range of operational settings as far back as the late 1800s. Be it public order, tracking, or apprehension, the German Shepherd excels in whatever it does and is perhaps the ideal police dog. Two of the reasons for its success is its above average intelligence and high trainability. The German Shepherd was developed to protect as well as herd large flocks of sheep, often without a handler’s supervision or
