Among the qualities of dogs that we value the most, courage occupies a special place. These animals can selflessly protect their human family and be brave helpers.
But which breeds are the bravest? OBOZREVATEL tells you which dogs are distinguished for these qualities.
Rottweiler
The ancestors of modern Rottweilers competed in gladiatorial arenas in ancient Rome. Later, these dogs were used to transport goods and protect people's homes and property. Rottweilers are valued for their stable psyche, sharp mind, efficiency, and boundless courage. If they are already attacking the enemy, they will not retreat until the last.
Bullmastiff
The dog of this breed makes it clear that it is not in its nature to be afraid. The animal has absorbed all the best qualities of a bulldog and a mastiff and was bred to help hunters detain poachers, which it successfully did. Nevertheless, bullmastiffs are aware of their size and strength and therefore try never to provoke conflicts or get involved in them. They show their qualities only when there is a real danger.
Fox Terrier
These medium-sized dogs were first trained to catch rats in houses and outbuildings and later mastered hunting foxes and badgers. They are ruthless to their prey and have a deadly grip, are not afraid to climb into unfamiliar dark holes, and boldly engage in combat with an enemy that exceeds their size. However, this breed cannot be called aggressive - for all its qualities, it is a wonderful family dog.
Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Giant shaggy dogs inherited from their ancestors, the Tibetan Great Danes, the ability to make decisions on their own, which helps them a lot in the business of grazing sheep in the mountains. The Caucasians are excellent watchdogs - they don't trust strangers and have a lightning-fast reaction. However, to channel their energy in the right direction, these dogs need a lot of attention and long, patient training. Otherwise, they may start to show aggression out of place.
Cane Corso
The ancient ancestors of the breed participated in bear hunting and lion harassment during gladiatorial fights, as well as in warfare. Therefore, the Cane Corso cannot be suspected of cowardice. No conditions can make this dog afraid. Also, this breed has a strong sense of its own territory, to which it does not allow strangers. If not properly trained, the Cane Corso can really grow into a dangerous animal.
West Siberian Husky
This is a hunting dog, which means it is very smart. It is a strong and hardy animal that can help its owner hunt even a bear. West Siberian Huskies are not afraid to tease a giant animal by biting its paws. They can get so excited about hunting that they themselves unwittingly become a victim of a bear. Such dogs protect their humans no less selflessly.
German Shepherd Dog
A versatile breed capable of performing any task, it is also one of the most, if not the most, courageous. In the event of danger, these dogs demonstrate absolute coolness and cruelty to the enemy. German Shepherds prove to be excellent bodyguards and can protect their humans even at the cost of their own life and health.
