Rhodesian Ridgebacks are good guard dogs, and they have very short fur. I am a big fan of the breed, they were bred to hunt lions in South Africa.<br><b>References : </b><br> German shepherds are great guard dogs, but they shed a lot.

I recommend a dogo Argetino, Anotolian Sheperd, Kangal, Kuvash- or something like that. Someone also mentioned a bernese mountain dog, bull terrier, bull-mastiffs shed, so try dogo argentinos really nice and pretty dogs!<br><b>References : </b><br> German Sheperds are good as someone mentioned, but unfortunately its hard to get ur hands on a well-bred one, that won’t have hip problems.

They all have good personallities and loyal. Any dog barks when they see someone though. Look at the shelter. Go to iams.com. You can take a quiz that will tell you the perfect dog for you. I took it and come to find out the top three breeds my little baby had in her. Lol. Hope this helps PS Like your name. That's my name to.

Excellent dog! I have never been so impressed by a breed of dog. I researched them for three years before I purchased one. They are very loyal and intelligent. Very protective of their family, yet friendly and playful with children. All dogs shed to some degree but they have very short fur and do not shed very much.<br><b>References : </b><br>check out this site www.boxerworld.com I just got a boxer puppy. Excellent dog!

All dogs need grooming. Breeds like poodles need clipping, but they don't leave hair all over the place like some breeds. However, you could buy a suitable vacuum cleaner, or limit the area where your dog can go. There are other considerations, such as your life style, how, when and where you can exercise your dog, so if you can advice from someone who is handling dogs everyday you're more likely to get a dog to suit you.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are serious about training, why not ask advice from your local dog training centre.

Labradoodles are reputed to be non shedders, but labs were on your NO list. Mid size dog that doesn't shed is a Wheaton Terrier. Interesting breed and still very intelligent. As far as guard dog type breeds, THEY ALL SHED!!! And if you get a "shedder" ABSOLUTELY DO NOT take it to the groomer to be shaved!!!! Shaving does NOT reduce shedding, it only reduces the length of the hair being shed. AND, shaving your dog will make the hair grow in thicker each season, therefore compounding your shedding problem. I reccommend a Giant Schnauzer. Very protective, cool looking, and minimal shedding. Whatever you choose, research care and grooming cost. These large breeds can cost around 80 bucks a month for grooming.<br><b>References : </b><br>Licensed groomer for 17 years, Vet tech for 10.
