Do Labradors Make Good Guard Dogs?
Quite a few friends ask me if labrador retrievers make good guard dogs. I can't speak for the entire breed of dogs but I think for the most part you would be better off looking into home alarm systems if you want to protect your house. That isn't entirely true but a german shepherd might be better suited. Instead a labrador retriever is more of a watch dog. Cooper is a total watch dog. He watches the street all day and always alerts me when there is action outside. You couldn't ask for a better watch dog and I praise and award him when he barks to let me know somebody is outside or just passing by. That in itself is just another bonus of the labrador retriever. They will watch your property and are protective of their domain.
