What kind of dog is the best?

I say ROBERT, that's something I've also thought about A lab is the best, they are smart and very nice. Well take care ROBERT.

It's hard to find a dog with all three. Labs are very calm and intelligent while German Shepherds are good watch dogs. I personally have two dachshunds.. they are tiny but just as fierce as any other dog could be. If you're leaning more towards good watch dog I'd go with a husky or german shepherd. I have to warn you, they aren't the best around children and dogs in general need tons of exercise. Labs also barely shed at all while Golden Retrievers tend to. So it honestly depends on how you get along with the dog you have your eye on. Different dogs have different behaviors/ personalities just like us people. There's a limit to stereo-typing everything. Good luck finding a dog! :)

All dogs have some kind of behavioral issue so it is up to the owner to train the dog to behave.Your dog depends on size of the yard,larger dogs require lots of food and walks. Fox Terriers make good watch dogs,Terriers like to dig.

There is no best, all dogs are good if bred properly.

The top three most Intelligent dog breeds are

1)Border Collie

2) Poodle all three sizes

3) German Shepherd Dog.

I'll try to answer this before I sit down to watch the Big Bang Theory. A yorkie if you just want a watch dog but it can't protect you Laters!

Dachshunds! Very clever little dogs. Mine knows how to outsmart me. They make awesome watchdogs too but puppies of any breed may take up to 2 years to show any signs of protectiveness. It just depends on the dog.

personally i think a shih tzu because they are very nice and are known for being great learners. If you want a good watch dog and dont care about slobber then a mastiff. for the most part they are very good too. I would NOT get a pit bull. they are good watch dogs but dangerous. if you want more info, heres a good website.

From what you are looking for, I suggest a lab.

Go to a shelter or a rescue group and get an older dog (trust me, they are the best, in so many ways)

My opinion is getting a pug there really playful, love to cuddle,Barks when someone knocks at the door,dont eat much but drinks alot,dosent bite,And loves to sleep with you!

I have a pug myself and hes the perfect dog for my family!
