Mastiffs make good guards I hear?

They do and when crossed with pits into bandog fashion they can produce remarcable guards. Lucero lines are famous here in Greece, but I am not sure if they are better suited for guarding people or heard.
What we use here with great success against wolves etc is the greek shepherd's dog. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/greeksheepdog.htm many other similar breeds although http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_dog
What do you feed a Vark??? Surely folks who feel as though Kibble is the primary way to feed a dog would be in a whole. I mean I feed my gals and boys a raw diet but a Vark would likely need a half a doe or if you close to a butcher a goat. I've been around many dogs for many years and helped a friend with some personal training and Schutzhund work but by Gosh those dogs look like Libears, half lion half bear. LOL I think if there was ever a domestic animal that could make me shit my pants. I just found it
thanks everyone for their recommendations. i have decided to get 2 female shepards and hopefully they do their job
People with sheep ,or goats even gamefowl use the donkey or llama against coyotes .i also looked up the Kavkazskaja dogs watched a video ,those dogs are to slow and clumsy .the pic above makes them look bigger than what they are ,but they are big ,kinda like a saint bernard
A donkey is exactly what I was going to suggest. Some bad little dudes when it comes to coyotes. A pair are just about unbeatable verses coyotes. They'll run completely off your property.
Never heard it before, great to see. lol

They would probably not like your dogs either though
