Do Hovawarts make good watchdogs?

Big Dog | July 22nd, 2010

This dog was bred to protect the home and livestock. A Hovawart should not be aggressive at all, it isn’t a typical guard dog. A Hovie is an intelligent, independent friend, but the owner has to pay a lot of attention to training to avoid the undesired aggressive behavior. The protective instinct can be handled with heavy socialization. The dog has to face all kinds of situations to be able to understand and to learn how to handle them. After a while, a Hovie will start to make his own decisions, which won’t be always the same what the owner would expect.
Most Hovawart clubs only recommend those ones for breeding which aren’t aggressive at all.
