Hi ! Im new here and would like some opinions on what breed would be the best for our needs. Im not wanting to start a political discussion, so please skip this if you feel inclined to take this in a political direction.
We have a mini ranch of 60 acres 70 miles form the Mexico boarder that we will be moving to next month. BOrder patrol is spread too thin and can often take over an hour to respond to a call. We need to figure out if we will be getting another English Mastiff (we do not have a dog right now) or if we will get another breed. We have looked into Fila, and Tibetan mastiff. The Fila worries me because I was told by a breeder that they will not allow visitors on our property, well I want my kids to be able to have friends over, family come visit and the occasional visitor. I don't want a dog who will be indescrimently grouchy and try to eat the good guys. Rather I want a dog who will make a passing illegal move in the opposite direction of our home and family and if one does get on our property they wont stay long.
With that in mind do you all have any suggestions?
