>Rottweiler for protection, however if you plan on bringing anyone new in your life (girlfriend, kids, etc) don't. Not trust worthy dogs unless it has grown up with you. >German Shepards I have a biased opinion towards. Got bit by two growing up and I was NOT a troubling or annoying kid. They seem fine within their first year, but something seems to snap. >I currently live with a Husky. Very VERY time consuming dogs. It's almost like having a child. They look cool but that's about it. They're nice dogs but friendly and loyal to EVERYONE. My boyfriend's husky would show just as much compassion to a complete stranger as him. They get jealous quite easy, they want everyone's attention 100% of the time. Also, don't even bother getting one unless he can go outside and run each day, that DOES not include putting him in a small yard. He needs lots of space and time to run. If they don't, they'll tear your house apart. They're very intellgant dogs as well. Clever but if not raised right, will try to out smart you to get what they want. >Golden Retrieves are extremely loyal and unlike huskeys will remain more loyal to it's owner than anyone else. Friendly, gentle, and patient. They also seem to be quite content with staying inside for long periods of time.
