      I don’t have a dog yet, but will probably get one in a few years. Trying to find information online has been hard because I don’t know how to classify what I want this dog to do.

      Let me explain: We live in the country. We have no live stock, just three outside cats. I have an enormous garden and orchard which i need to protect from wildlife. I would want the dog to chase off wildlife (preferably quietly) until they get to a boundary and then STOP. Most of this work would need to be done at dusk, night, and dawn. Year round.

      So is this a watch dog, a hearding dog, or a guard dog? What instincts will they be using? Any breed suggestions? And how will I train them?
