I've had a couple dogs in my life.
It seems to me that there isn't a perfect dog as in will he protect his family.
People want the perfect dog, one that doesn't make a mistake and is on time when ya need him and acts perfect up until that point.
They can't be overly aggressive or quick to be aggressive with strangers but if its owner is somehow fouled, they need the dog to step up.
That's not how it works in the real world.
I do believe that a good percentage of dogs will bite if provoked, especially the large breed dogs, they don't like being messed with or scared, especially when they are mature, 3-4 years old.
I've had a couple Danes that were very nice sociable dogs that wouldn't hurt a flea but if for instance if one of my friends that the dogs knew would get a little rough with me, like wrestling around, it would get their attention real quick, they didn't like any rough housing.
I've found that most dogs are like that at a certain point.
If you want to know if your dog will protect you, just tie him up and have someone wrestle with you, make a lot of noise, I'll bet he won't like it.
I've found that even the sweetest dog in the world that wouldn't hurt a flea that weighs a 180 pounds is more than enough to make people decide to walk on the other side of the street, even though its not needed.
