Most of these dogs are from the terrier group, and all but the Airedale and the Standard Schnauzer are small in stature, but big in personality.
Keep in mind that the watch dog is NOT a guard dog. The difference is that a watch dog will warn you there’s a stranger around, but a guard dog will go take care of the problem.
Obviously, this means that watch dogs will typically be barkers. If you live in a small apartment or have close neighbors, you’ll want to think twice before getting one of these breeds.
