Cane Corso, Roman "war dog". Valued for centuries in Italy as a guardian. Very expensive though. The Caucasian Ovcharka that someone else mentioned would also make an extraordinary protector, but is also very expensive. Same problem with other renowned guard dogs such as Boerboel and Fila Brasileiro. For the money and availability, I'd agree with others that the German Shepherd would be hard to beat.


He never promised that the cross would not get heavy & the hill would not be hard to climb.
