One that's tough, scary, strong, etc. Also, would a wolf make a good guard dog as a pet (assuming you are able to get one)?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What is the best guard dog?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Wolves and wolf hybrids have a reputation for eating their owner. A wild animal will always be wild.
I like German Shepherds, but a lot depends on the individual dog, and especially the way the dog is trained as a puppy. Most people eliminate the dog's aggressive tendencies by punishing them. A good trainer will bring out aggression under the right circumstances, and then reward it. Malinois are the trendy cop dog right now; they are just working line shepherds bred to be small, very aggressive, and have short hair. If you get a working line dog, you have to work it, or you will both be miserable. That's not a dog to lock up in an apartment.

German shepherd as an all around. There is also this guy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Watchdog
This is even better, and bigger, has nice personality, and at the same time will eat the intruder. They are better with kids than germans.

Wow a lot of you guys say German shepherds. Why is that? What about a pit bull or Rottweiler?
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

German Shepherds are hard to beat for a guard dog. They are tough, strong, and smart.

I'm not a dog person in any way, shape or form, but the best dogs I've ever come into contact with were German Shepherds. They're loyal, smart, and protective.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I have 2 Labradors, they are smart, big & well behaved. They are not however, guard dogs! They have a big bark, but absolutely no bite. That being said I think they would be a deterrent from a mugger.
If I were to recommend a guard dog, I would say a German Shepherd as they are relatively intimidating & the easiest of the 'scary' dogs to train. That's why police use them.

Pit bulls make horrible guard dogs. They are too friendly. Rotts are much better at that job. Rotts were the butcher's dog - drive the cattle by day and guard them at night. Dobermans are decent as well. Neither breed tends to be as smart as a GSD.
A shelter mutt can make a great dog, too. I'd get a puppy if you want it to be well-trained. I have a purebred GSD who I adopted from a county pound. She's working line and was too high-strung to make it as a family pet, in a family of morons, anyway. They dumped their $800 dog at the pound, and I adopted her for $150.

If you want a dog purely to guard a property, I wouldn't bother. It's cheaper in the long run to buy a top of the range security system, cctv etc.
Big dogs require a lot of food and a lot of exercise. Need walking twice a day for an hour each time. Then you have vet bills etc. It's a huge commitment.
What is it you require guarding?

I don't know about that. My dad has a regular customer who lives near one of his stations and he told me that the guy trained his dog to be racist (I know right?). Well some black guy came to fill up gas and was standing outside and the dog saw him. He jumped a 7 ft. fence and started mauling the guy. His girlfriend freaked out and locked his car on him and my dad stepped outside the door with a baseball bat, saw what was happening and went back inside. Said he almost **** himself because of how vicious he looked. That's why I asked about pit bulls lol
Well nothing really. We have cameras and a German shepherd too funnily enough. He's likely got some arctic wolf in him to be honest though because he has some rather strange tendencies sometimes and looks a little different from other German shepherds. He's getting older now though. We didn't quite do a good job raising him to be honest because he has way too much energy and we couldn't really take care of him.

Half of the the planet want to ban pitbuls so avoid them (for cash reason avoid them)
Dogs are cash consuming and require maintenance like you had à kid
No matter the race, the training does the job.
Personnally, small Dogs. Are the worst (all noise)

I'd be careful about pit bulls. As a property owner I do not allow my renters to have them as my insurance company will cancel policies if they find one on my properties. It's happened with a puppy so I know this for a fact. They got rid of the dog and I was able to reinstate my property coverage.
Now you may not have insurance type worries as yet but there is a reason most insurance companies keep a "dangerous dog" list, and that has to do with actuarial evidence that certain breeds are more prone to generate insurance claims than others.
St. Bernards are not on dangerous dog lists but they are excellent guard dogs with good dispositions.
I'd avoid wolves or wolf hybrids.
Any large dog is going to cost a ton of money & require lots of time, exercise & attention.
I'd look at Rhodesian ridgebacks, weimereiners, or dobermans (even the mini dobermans) if I was looking...although dobermans also tend to make the insurance lists.
German Shepard often suffer from hip problems which can get very expensive. That's why I am not a fan of the GSD.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
