  • airedale terriers;
  • American Bulldogs;

Representatives of these breeds have short hair and can live outdoors, but not every weather condition is for them. It is necessary to insulate the booth or aviary well. And often the animals will have to be taken home with you. But as guards, they are great. Alert, diligent and trainable. It is advisable to regularly train with dogs of these breeds, preferably with a dog handler and attend socialization courses. It is important to build relationships correctly, otherwise the dog can turn from a friend into an aggressor.
