How adorable!!! I'm glad you love him! I know what you mean about wanting a dog that can protect you and your family. After having a doberman myself I think we will always have a "bully breed" because I feel so much safer! I can even go for walks at night! Granted I live in a very small safe town, I still feel a lot better having Athena around. I always tell people that someone would have to be crazy to break into our house, she sounds terrifying!
I don't have any doubts that he will change after you neuter him. He's got the instincts! Athena does the exact same thing, follows me to ensure my safety....even in the bathroom, lol. She's only 8 months old, but I have no doubt that she would protect me. In fact she scared me the other day when someone came into our yard to try to sell us a vacuum. It was nice though, I told them my dog was usually friendly, but she didn't like them coming into the yard and they needed to leave because I didn't trust her. They were happy to leave! :rofl: She's just a 47 pound puppy! :D She's never bit anyone, but she's never had a reason to bite anyone. I worry for the sad soul that tries to bother me on a walk or break into the house!
