American Staffordshire Terriers are the perfect dog, they are great guard dogs, intelligent, and need hardly and grooming except maybe brushing once a month with a bath. I own and breed them. here is a good website for info http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americanstaf…

• Any dog can be a good guard dog (my chihuahua is will set off alerts and my yorkie will take on anything), all puppies need training, a short haired dog will need less grooming. When you are ready I suggest you consider volunteering at a local shelter or humane society to learn more about the differences in dogs.
  
  Breeds have different tendencies, within that each dog is as different as each person on this earth. Find the dog you love, and love it for life.


• Well i would get a Blue Lacy they are a beautiful short haired medium sized dog (They don't shed or have a wet dog smell). They are protective of their owners and property. They are very intelligent and you can train them to do anything. However you need to have an active lifestyle and since lacy's are bred to be working jobs it would need a job outside of guarding.


• get a dog that doesn't shed. It will give you less stress! All dogs are good "alarms" for when strangers are near. Terriers are good dogs for that. I don't know if you are looking for a large dog or not. Schnauzers may be a good dog for you. They do not shed according to my neighbor that has one.


• Jack Russells are vary hard to train though, you'll have to read about them before you get one, they need a lot of exercise and attention, but yeah if you get one they're a good guard dog.


• well german shepards are good guard dogs and train fast but have long hair and need lots of grooming. you could get a chihuahua or a jack russel or a pug, those are all pretty good


• mabe you should go on animalplanet.com and go on dogs 101 and take the dog quiz the icon might be hard to find


• hmmmm i would prefer a german shepard or siberian husky or a rottwrieler
