Often the owners of a country house are faced with the question of what breed of dog to get. The answer to it is ambiguous and depends on the purpose of acquiring the pet. If the animal will only guard the house from the inside, you can take a short-haired dog. To protect the territory, a hardy breed is needed, which was specially bred for these purposes.
Instructions
Step 1
A dog in a country house is, in most cases, a protector. She will instantly react to someone else's animal or a stranger who has entered the local area. For this purpose, it is best to choose a dog from service breeds - they have obedience to the owner in their blood and they are more capable of guarding.
Step 2
You need to pay attention to the place where the dog will be kept. If it will always be outside, it is necessary to choose a breed that has reliable protection from the cold, the dog should have a thick undercoat. For example, if you consider a variant of the German Shepherd breed, it is better to take a short-haired friend. Also, you should not have long-haired dogs due to fur felting and more frequent exposure to colds. Such pets need more careful care, and they should only be kept in an aviary.
Step 3
The German Shepherd is the best choice if you need a strong, intelligent and friendly (to the owner) dog. They are obedient, calm, adore children and at the same time are a threat to all strangers who have entered the territory of the house.
Step 4
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is not inferior to the "German", but it is important to show an authoritative character with it. This breed needs proper education, if you do not intend to devote time to this dog, you should refrain from acquiring it. It is best to keep the Caucasian Shepherd Dogs either in an open-air cage, or in a specially designated and fenced place.
Step 5
Many owners who already have dogs say that the Rottweiler is the ideal dog breed for an establishment in a country house. These animals learn a lot of commands very quickly, they are fearless and alert. Of course, they have in their character the features of a defender. As you know, they have short hair, but Rottweilers are distinguished by their endurance, so no cold winter is terrible for them. In addition, this breed has a formidable appearance, which is another way to get rid of unwanted guests in the house.
Step 6
Another good home protector is the Central Asian Shepherd Dog breed. Perfect for keeping outdoors, as they have a medium-length coat and a thick undercoat. They closely monitor strangers on the territory, and show a very affectionate and friendly character with household members. Asians are quite large in size, but at the same time eat little.
Step 7
Regardless of what breed of dog will be chosen for life in a country house, it must be remembered that any animal needs to be trained and educated from an early age. Only in this case the dog will become a reliable protector and friend for each family member.
