The race for making it to the top 10 has moved from MTV to the dog kennel. As there are many breeds of Indian dogs, owners and breeders alike want to know if their have made it to the top 10 guard list. But the problem is not that simple, as different breeders have different criteria for the same dogs.

The quest for the top 10 guard is very difficult; breeders have listed different dogs, as they look for different things. However, breeders have agreed on the top 5 aspects of a great guard dog. In their opinions, the perfect guard are:

1 The ones with a big bark (usually that's enough to scare off most undesirables)

2. The well-trained ones (you don't want him out of control)

3. The well-socialized ones (you don't want ones that bite indiscriminately, that's lawsuit territory, besides what good is he if you have to lock him up when people are around)

4. The intelligent ones (capable of making good decisions)

5. The black ones (people seem to be more afraid of black dogs)

Still, “guard dog” means different things to different people so it is hard to answer exactly what breed would be the beast. Apart from the criteria above, it greatly depends on the kind of experience the owner has had with dominate dogs. It does take a hard firm hand if the dog is real dominate and the owner has to be prepared to deal with this. Indian can be great guard or lousy ones, depending on how they are trained.

If you want a dog to be mellow and calm yet be protective almost all Indian will do that with proper training. But a big dog is far more impressive than a small dog. Some small have the temperament of a large dog and will alert you to possible problems; they could even chew up an ankle in no time. If you prefer dominate and

have experience in training them, a Himalayan mastiff may probably be more suitable for you.

A problem with things such as the top 10 guard is that people have personally owned or had regular contact with the breeds they say are the best and will name those breeds because they were always at ease when the were with them or in their home. They could be so subjective to even say, for example, that females are better because they tend to be more aggressive toward outsiders due to the maternal instinct, or that a certain Indian are just scary looking, without having any personal experience with them

Indian dogs can be trained as guard dogs, just like most breeds. All they require are some characteristics, such as size (small usually do not scare people) and temperament. They can even make it to the top 10 guard dogs as long as all breeders agree on the criteria.
