MacDuff is an ultra-protective, loyal guardian type with a big presence and an even bigger heart for his people. This handsome tripawd isn’t built for long hikes or extended walks, but he loves to run, patrol, and keep watch over his space—making a large, securely fenced yard a must. Once MacDuff trusts you, you’re family. He forms deep bonds with his humans, though he prefers a few meet-and-greets with new people before welcoming them into his inner circle. His guardian instincts are strong, and he takes his job as protector very seriously. MacDuff loves his people, has a surprising fondness…
If Macduff isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
