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)?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What is the best guard dog?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Chow chow, German Shepherd

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 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

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.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
