Rottweilers and German shepards are great, I think. Or try a breed called the Fila Brasileiro.   And with any breed, practically, more among the dogs that are meant for guard or watch, if you raise it only around white people it will not be happy to greet people of color. My brother's dog was socialized minimally (only with his friends, our family, and our other dog) and one time as I was driving it to a vet appointment it freaked out to see a Muslim woman walking down the street with the veil on her. The dog didn't like anybody of color! :rofl Thanks for the tip. I'm intrigued by this Fila and will definitely be checking up on it. If it barked at a Bhurka-wearer then I like it already!    I know that pit bulls are good, but something about them scares me especially when kids are involved, so they're not an option unfortunately.
