Good point about insurance. Will it replace the dog too?
I don't know if you're a family man. Will your wife or children have the presence of mind or control to turn the dog on and off if necessary when you're not there?
I agree with David. I prefer to have a dog that wants to do his job, and all I have to do is put control on it and make it understand when he shouldn't, and tolerate strangers because I say so. This kind of dog when stable is not a "hair trigger".
no kids, wife is ready willing and able to utter a command,
and as i said all these preferences are need based, the odds of home invasion is very low in the town i live in, and this low risk must be balanced against the liability of a visitor being bit
so i will be happy if he is on the friendly side to visitors (after all his pp training), but has the ability to light up when directed to, just my opinion
