I'd also recommend Bouvier des flandres as a top choice if affection and loyalty is what you seek in a dog. They're good to go.

The Giant or Monster Schnauzer as mentioned by @Dkryptoenth is a pooch of honorable nature. They take their life rules exceptionally genuinely and embed them immovably in their family associations.

The Schnauzer may be a watch canine at heart, one of the numerous curiously breed characteristics. Not as it were is this dog significant in measure, but they are too noteworthy in soul.

They're usually around 23–27 inches in height, weighs roughly 55–110 pounds, with a lifespan of about 12–15 years.

Usually come in colors of black, salt and pepper
and are suitable for experienced owners, active lifestyles, country living.

Actually, Bouviers are affectionate, loyal toward their family members, and often patient with young children. Bouvier des Flandres puppies need early and consistent training, as this breed is intelligent and strong-willed. They also have a lot of energy and need to learn how to behave calmly around people and other pets early on.

This breed has a waterproof, protective double coat made of medium-length rough fur.

Their coats do shed a moderate amount, and brushing your BdF once or twice a week is necessary to minimize shedding and prevent matting.

They only need a bath when their coats are dirty, but their beards often require more frequent cleaning.

They are usually healthy dogs, but they are predisposed to certain medical conditions like:

BdF myopathy also known as “hereditary myopathy of the Bouvier des Flandres” (HMB), this is a form of muscular dystrophy where the muscles weaken over time.

Ectopic ureters: This is a congenital condition where one or both of the ureters, which are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, do not connect properly to the bladder. This condition can lead to various urinary issues and is known to occur in some dog breeds.

Laryngeal paralysis: This condition causes paralysis of the muscles responsible for controlling the vocal cords (larynx), which leads to difficulties in breathing and voice production, etc

Interestingly, both France and Belgium recognize it as their own native dog breed.
