Yep, they are great! Protecting their owners 24/7 When I was a kid had a paper route. Oh man you had to learn how to ride your bike off and on peddling to get away and kicking the dogs from biting you. I was blessed, no dobies or shepherd's. Those dogs were mostly mixed breeds and I do believe the favorite part of their day was chasing me on my bike. Once you knew your route you knew what street to be on high alert. For the love of money. LOL!
