If that dog attacks you, who can you blame
You got the dog cause you assume it will attack strangers for you.
I’m think it’s personally dangerous.

A friend of mine’s Rottweiler took a huge chunk out of her arm when he bit her.
Big dogs have better temperaments than small dogs. Why the would you want to get any sized “attack” dog? Remember, there is no bad dogs only bad people who train there dog.
Where’s the question?
My buddy’s girlfriend got a Doberman. She let it sleep on the foot of the bed. She rolled over on it in the middle of the night and it attacked her; it left her with scars on her face and arms. They had it put down.
… I would hope that enrolling in training with your dog as a puppy.. maybe helps us a lot more? I suppose I just wouldn’t have the dogs live with me in the same as the cats do
I have a great big dog, asleep,using my feet as a pillow. He’s well trained but I don’t take any risks with him.
In my experience, big dogs are trained better than small dogs. People can just pick up a small dog if it’s misbehaving. You can’t do that with a big one.
What do you mean ‘ huge attack dog ‘ ?
We have two large dogs. Neither would attack us. Neither has been trained to attack anyone. They’re chill.
If a stranger tried to harm one of our family they’d probably take a chunk out of the stranger though. Dogs tend to do that.
Our family had a floppy eared Dobby, my eight year old niece went in to give him a hug and he bit her right in the face. It happened so quickly, we all ran over to her, luckily all he did to her was one puncture wound above her lip. It could have been so much worse, SOOOO much worse.
The dog was not punished, nor the niece, it was just an unfortunate event.
Seriously, the dog showed great restraint, how he managed to stop the attack before much damage was beyond comprehension.
It better be exceedingly well trained
With appropriate training and attention, the “attack dog” breeds (Rottweilers, Pit bulls, etc) are amazing companions. If you get one and you don’t do your part, you have no one but yourself to blame when the dog misbehaves. They need training from a young age, and they need daily outlets for their mental and physical energy.
Training is something that takes place over the lifespan of the dog. With Assistance from professionals, a dog owner, and the dog, both get trained on how to positively incentivize a dog into behaving and carrying out tasks that the owner specifies. A lot of people think that they can take a six week training course and voilà! The dog is trained. However, that’s not true. Training and consistency is something that the owner has to work on over their own lifespan.
Police dogs, military working dogs, civilian working dogs, service dogs, show dogs , therapy dogs are trained everyday in order to do their jobs. That training continues in some fun form after they retire and it keeps them happy. This is something that every dog owner can work into their skill set.
.
A lot of bad training occurs when the owner doesn’t realize that they’re in charge of providing the incentives. Dogs aren’t impressed by a lazy owner who spends more time gaming or on the internet. They like activity and routine.
For whatever reason, people think that some kind of mental telepathy happens between themselves and the dog. Dogs are always looking for direction, and if they don’t have it, they run by their own instincts, not yours.
If a dog attacks, anyone, then that is a dog that is out of control, and it’s matched by an owner, who has also not put any time into understanding the dogs, temperament or training it. In other words, it’s untrained. The owner and everyone around them has allowed a dangerous situation to evolve.
There are some dogs that are more difficult than others, and are very Reactive to not only people but other animals. Owning one is hard and safe guards have to be in place to prevent it from happening.
While not designed to be an attack dog per se we do have a big boy and he’s a 90lb Husky mix.
As a lot of the times it’s to warm in the house for him he generally is in the back yard where he has a nice house.
My wife knows that if something happens to just leave the house and go I tot he back yard and hang out with him or just let him in.
There can be huge liability issues if a dog – any dog – injures/attacks a person or another dog. As people have stated, proper training is one good deterrent to prevent attacks.
Years ago, I had the sweetest 85lb. black Lab. I didn’t know much about training at that time. But he was smart as hell. I guarantee he did not have a mean bone in his body. I don’t think I ever heard him even growl. I did teach him the basics…lie down, sit, stay, etc.
When I walked him, people got out of my way/avoided me. I believe it was only his size that was intimidating.
Much has to do with the certain breed. Dobermans and Pit bulls are notorious for attacking. But, again, it has to do with training and how they were brought up, especially if they were adopted.
