black russian terrier
The Black Russian Terrier adapts very well to training and can be very good guard or companion dogs. I think your premise is correct in that they could be as responsive to training like the German Shepherd. However, I have seen some very hard BRT that would make a German Shepherd Dogs run for the hills. They can be very intense dogs. Training is required to get the desired behaviors.

I don't have a lot of knowledge on this breed. I have seen them. I was at a dog show. There were over 75 Black Russian terriers. They were beautiful dogs. This caused me to do a little research on them. Keep in mind I said a little. It is my understanding that they were bred to do military work. The excel in doing guardian type work.
I'm not a huge fan of most modern day GSD. It is just my opinion that a Black Russian Terrier would be a great dog for this type of work when compared to a GSD. My preference would be them. Having not worked them or owned one I am basing my opinions and preferences on what I read about the breed, seeing them in person and experience with modern day GSD.

I considered a BRT before I got my Giant Schnauzer. Very intense. They do not do well with heat, I had a friend in Montana with 10 of them. He did not think they would do well with the small dogs (generally speaking) that I have. I did not find them to be as wiling or eager to work as a Dobie or German Shepherds Dog. My Giant is a peculiar worker but she's a superb guardian. He loves his BRTs but told me he misses his German Shepherds who would just comply rather than question.
