Great info Dagny.

I concur with everything Dagny, posted regarding dogs and also add the time commitment necessary especially with the higher drive breeds that would probably actually protect yourself and possessions. I’ve owned Dobermans for 40 years and they need to have daily activity, training and be part of the family unit or they will find their own form of entertainment. You can’t just build a dog house and put these guys out in the back yard without fence running, nuisance barking, digging etc.

My biggest fear too would be someone hurting or taking my dogs, everything else could be replaced.
