These breeds were designed to kill anything with four legs BUT human aggression was killed out of them. They did not tolerate any dog that snapped or growled at an human. Even in the ring in the midst of combat, they were able to be handled by their handlers, the ref, and even strangers. This now creates our current problem of people not knowing what they are getting into with the bullies and making them what they are not and that is a guard dog.;)

^^^^^^^^^^^
100% correct

We just moved in our new house. We went to a shelter and adopted our cat and dog the same week. They are doing great together. They lay together sometimes. Check out your local Humane Society. They have lots of Pitbulls, shepherds, Huskys to. They also have rescue groups for thoughs breeds to. Enough preaching. I am sure they will do fine together.

Oh shoot, I'm glad you caught that. Usually I'm the one reminding people that pitts are not guard dogs... :rolleyes: You are totally right, if you want a guard dog, don't get a pitt! I guess I was just lumping them in the bully breed category rather than guard dog breeds.
