Being away from the house like I am, I'm looking for a dog that is a deterrent but also perfectly capable of backing up its bark.Save $2-3k and adopt some mutt from a pound. That pupper is gonna fight to the death to protect his new home lmao.
Hard to judge the history of rescue dogs. As much as I enjoy helping them out.

He wants something very specific, people rarely give up large dog breeds unless they aren’t trained well

Adopting pound animals just encourage people to be careless with the breeds. I can't ethically say that's the right call in most scenarios. Additionally, there's no fukking way I'm getting a mystery breed to bring around my family. The deviation in behavior with mutts is too great and frankly unsafe for households.

I’d second the Bernese or go with a Saint Bernard. Both would protect your child with their lives, and aren’t aggressive around non threats. Saint Bernards are called the nanny dog for a reason

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Will do looking up now.
Looks pretty good actually thanks for the heads up. A little unsure of adding an unknown adult dog to a home with a baby although im sure he has been vetted. Also wonder if he will maintain the protective drive im looking for as a rescue. He looks great though ill shoot them an inquiry. Thanks man.

Cattle dog. They’d love the space and are incredibly smart. Need a lot of exercise each day though. We don’t have that big of a yard but still get her 2 hours of exercise a day and she’s still a ramped up ****head.
Gotta love her though.
Edit: whoops didn’t see you’ve already narrowed it down. Still stand by my suggestion though. Great dogs even if they’re picked up from a shelter.
