Nice big dogs I Like big but I'll stick my my # 1 loves The German Shepard as in the German type, Lab, and the Englsih Springer spanial both bench (show) and feild type. My 2nd loves are the Rottie, Dobermin, pit and boxers and The great dane. 3rd loves are the Papalon, chi, cockers.
I love all tpys but these are the ones I have grown up around or knew theses breeds growing up from frineds. I lov ethe Border collie great dog, Even the shelyis, and I love grey hounds but not dogs for me. Woudl I own a diffrent breed then what I stated yes depending on were I lived the room and what time i had for them and some dogs I love but would never own one becuase their not for me as in my personality and life styl. If it was a rescue or need my help then I would take it and do what I could for it till I coudl find it a home.
I have seen these dogs come into camps as in the Kangal dogs and they were so mellow an nice but they were not raised in or on a farm well some were but they were raised in and aroudnthe kids a people to protect the kids. And they were push overs from the ones I have meet but go to harm their family is the only time they were not big teddy bears anymore. One guy was tellign us that there was a breack in at place as in were they were originaly from and the dogs went after the guy and But the cops see him runnig down the street and the owner had to hold dog becuase he was gonna go after the officer becuase he was traind to protect humeds and when they had the burgaler on the ground the dog knew it the bad guy but he still had the traing to protect humends.
Any dogs can be a pet or dominated and trained some quiker then others. Liek aroudn here everyone hates and rotties theres nothing wrong with them just the stero type they get. Point you get dog you read up onit before you get it or after and as long as you take the time to properly obedenc train them you can get them to do anything and be any way. The Kangal I seen with very mellow and jsut layed there while kids played they moved he moved. He played with them and herded them out of the road. My Parents female English herds any little kid that come in if they get to far away from their parents back and since she is not alowed in the drive way ona leash called or by our side then the little kids are not. She also is not alowed off the property unless ona leash or by our side.
I like them they are big and I know basicly what you told us about them. Thy make wonderful gaurd dogs for a family and if you donthave room you better take them for long walks or to a dog park for a while.
Maybe as strong as they are and thses gas prices going up we canhook a couple to our cars. lol I am sacrcasticly in a funny way saying they are that strong. But for knwo I'll stick to my breeds.
