to say you'll absolutely love this video dogs are man's best friend for a lot of reasons and one of those reasons is that dogs make excellent guards in fact many people have said there's no one as protective and loyal as a big guard dog and that's true in today's video we'll be checking out the top 10 largest guard dogs in existence careful the second dog on this list is almost as tall as a human being number 10. caucasian shepherd the caucasian shepherd is a huge dog that originates from the ancient caucasus dogs this dog breed was bred from those dogs that originate in the caucasus mountains in the steep regions of southern russia as you'd expect for a dog that looks like this the caucasian shepherd is muscular strongly boned and actually really good looking this dog is also a mild tempered but this mild temper is only for people that it's familiar with these dogs are one of the most ancient purebred dogs and the easiest sign of this is in their teeth they have teeth so long that very few dogs alive today can even dream to match them that's probably one of the reasons they're mostly used in prisons to chase escapees and how huge is this dog well try very females of this breed can have a minimum weight of 99 pounds and a minimum height of 25 inches they can even grow up to 28 inches tall and could weigh as much as 105 pounds males of this breed can grow up to 30 inches tall and could even weigh up to 110 pounds this is without a doubt one huge dog but do not be too shocked at the size of the caucasian shepherd there are nine more dogs that could grow even bigger than it that's scary and exciting at the same time number nine great pyrenees first off when a dog has the word great in its name you know it's not a small dog this dog is mostly used as a livestock guardian dog and is extraordinarily large males of this breed can grow up to 130 pounds and females can weigh up to 115 pounds they can grow extremely tall too and females could get as tall as 31 inches while males could get as tall as 32 inches however this dog isn't just useful to people because of its extraordinary height it's also confident gentle and affectionate aside from that it's quite territorial and this enables it to be able to defend its family or flock the dog can be strong-willed and is particularly fearless and loyal basically the great pyrenees is everything you want in a dog and a little bit more it's a little wonder the dog is called the great pyrenees however despite being terribly huge this dog is only the ninth biggest dog we know of how big exactly are the dogs further up on this list let's find out number eight commodore the common door is probably the strangest looking dog on this list this dog looks like a character from scooby-doo but surprisingly the character is not scooby-doo that character is shaggy and yes i said that because the commodore is probably the most shaggy looking dog you'll ever see the commodore also known as the hungarian sheepdog is a large breed of livestock guardian dog with a long corded coat that is unlike anything you have ever seen that's probably why this dog is sometimes referred to as the mop dog in any case the commodore is a well-established dog breed and was brought to europe as early as 1544 by the cubans in fact the dog is so ancient that has been declared as one of hungary's national treasures the commodore as you would expect is an extremely large dog and can reach heights of 32 inches it can weigh up to 120 pounds and is a dog that's very well suited to the life of sheep herding the dog is fiercely independent fearless and incredibly calm these traits make it one of the best livestock guardians in the entire world number 7 dog de bordeaux the dog bordeaux obviously sounds like a french dog and you're right it is a french dog it's specifically a large french mastiff dog and is actually one of the largest and oldest french dog breeds it's little wonder that the dog has a totally french name however if you don't want to call the dog the dog de bordeaux which literally means dog from bordeaux you can call it the bordeaux mastiff or the french mastiff or the bordeaux dog the french mastiff dog was known in france as early as the 14th century and the dog was usually found around bordeaux in the southern region of the country that's why the dog bears the name bordeaux in 1863 the dog was exhibited in france and this was when it got really popular historically this dog has been put to use in several fields it has been used to pull heavy carts hull heavy objects and guard flocks but that's not all the dog has also been used as a guard dog for the castles of european elites so you may even say that it has royal blood the bordeaux dog can weigh up to 120 pounds and can be as tall as 27 inches number six bull mastiff the bull mastiff is a large domestic dog that has a short build a small muzzle and a flat face although the bull mastiff is often categorized as the poster boy for huge dogs it is still some ways down the list of biggest guard dogs the bull mastiffs are a dog breed that originated in britain in the mid-1800s they were bred for strength size and speed using the cross of the aggressive and big bulldogs of the 19th century in 1928 the bull mastiffs were imported to south africa and their number one job was the guarding of diamond mines this importation of course was done by the popular diamond mining company de beers the dogs were trained to tackle poachers at the first sign of encroachment bull mastiffs are strong and powerful dogs but for a bull mastiff to become a well-behaved dog trainers have to be consistent training and proper socialization of this dog is extremely important as bull mastiffs are severely independent dogs now let's talk about the size of this huge dog the bull mastiff can weigh up to 120 pounds and can reach a height of 27 inches thereabouts number five tibetan mastiff the tibetan mastiff is a huge dog that's hugely popular in tibet one of the reasons for that of course is the fact that the dog is quite huge it weighs up to 150 pounds and can grow as tall as 30 inches the dog is known as dog's key in tibetan and this name reflects its many uses in the area it's sometimes used as a guard of herds farmlands tents and even palaces if you have something to guard the tibetan mastiff is the dog for you the dog is also usually used as a norman dog and one of the reasons for this is its fierce loyalty interestingly the name tibetan mastiff is a misnomer this dog isn't a true mastiff but when europeans first saw it they referred to it as one this is because they called all the huge dogs in europe mastiffs today we know that the tibetan mastiff isn't actually a massive dog and there are a lot of non-mastiff dog breeds bigger than the mastiff number four fila brazilerio unlike the tibetan mastiff the fila brazillario is an actual mastiff dog and was developed in brazil the dog is known for its immense tracking ability aggressiveness and its unforgiving temperament so this is one dog you should try your best not to annoy or else you'll get into real trouble rather than attacking prey this dog traps its prey and waits for the hunters to arrive because of these qualities and the fact that the dog is extraordinarily large the fila brazilerio makes a wonderful guard dog but wait we've been going on and on about the size of the brazil area for a while how large is this dog for one well for one it can weigh up to 120 pounds it can also grow as tall as 30 inches imagine a dog of this size running at you at 20 miles an hour imagine how many of your bones would actually break from the force slamming into your frame the extreme weariness that this dog has for strangers and its amazing agility when defending flock or its masters is one of the reasons why it's probably the best guard dog in brazil and that's why it made this list at all number three african boerboel the african boerboel is a large south african mastiff dog that was bred for working on the farms and guarding the homestead the name boerbol is actually derived from the word boar which is the afrikaans word for farmer and the word bull which is the afrikaans word for dog so technically borbol means farmer dog or the dog of the farmer you know you get the idea the boerboel isn't like other dogs because it requires a significant commitment in time and training in order to become a well-adjusted and functional member of the family the dog does great with positive reinforcement techniques and often requires human leadership and companionship it's not a particularly independent breed and if left on its own it will most likely regress and become destructive using force to control this dog is also a terrible idea and could lead to a potential behavioral backlash in the future however if you remove all of that the african boerboel remains an intelligent loyal and protective breed and let's not forget the dog is impossibly large too and can reach heights of 30 inches and can weigh up to 150 pounds now it's time for today's best pick [Music] today's picture was sent in by a subscriber if
