An Akita will protect you like an Abrams Tank, but they are aggressive. I don't know how mine determines who comes close to me. Some people he growls at, and others he ignores. Even though he's neutered, I can't take him to the dog park with other dogs.

Here's a question: Why the FUCK do dogs only live 10 or 12 years?

Seriously. Why?

because the world is a cruel, cruel place.

It really sucks, that's for sure.

I miss my shepherd something fierce (though he lived to 13-14)

Our newfs scared the living crap out of people despite being the most gentile and docile creatures on the planet. And they weren't all hyper and bark-ey. But damn did they shed. And drool. Oh my God, the drool.

with Great Danes I think it's they have a genetic predisposition for a weak heart.

I hear ya Marko. When Brinks dies I'm sure I will fall apart.

Thanks GM. First I gotta convince the hubby. He REALLY wants a black lab, but I want something a little different. That and I honestly dont care for labs. They are great dogs, but hyper, loud, destructive, etc etc...granted any puppy I will face the same thing but well, you know...

I want something that will be loveable but will protect me if needed when he's away. Id love a Brinks type dog as long as its not a drooler...hows the shedding??

Oooooooh, the Boerboel looks pretty damn awesome too!!

Bouvier des Flandres is another dog you might consider, Rae. They're long haired, but don't shed much at all. Here's a page of info about them
