If you go with a german shepherd make sure it is female, has only had one previous owner, and the previous owner had it for at least a year, and have it kenneled from the owner at least two months before you introduce the pet to yourself and family.

You will never find a more loyal protective friend ever. Also, make sure anyone who comes into contact with you and your family when the pet is around never ever even fakes a threat towards you or your family. It wont end well.

Second inline would be a female doberman taken as early as two months.


But if you can find yourself with something other than a dog. I would suggest a miniature bull. Those things are awesome.
