For dogs guarding the family, the best ones are females. This is particularly true if the female grew up with the family from a pup. They bond and consider you part of the pack, which they instinctively try to protect. Not being males, they don’t try to become ‘alpha’s over the owner of the house and there is less pee-ing/marking territory problems.
I had some idiot try to scare our family German Shepherd(female @ 120+lbs) thinking it was a coyote (coyotes max in under 60lbs – which means the guy wasn’t too bright.). I was hidden behind a bush looking over the cliff. She spun around without running, hair on the back up with one nasty growl. The guy literally dropped a load. This is the same dog that the kids would play and bounce on. If she had too much, she would get up and walk away.
The only problem with these dogs is they need a lot of space. They need the exercise. They are not a small yard dog.
