Dog. Bullmastiff. Without a doubt.

I would like one too, don't have the time or place for one at the moment though.

all dogs are good, it doesn't matter if it's a "strain" or a "hybrid", it's that individual dog's personality that is way more important.

Don't rush into it, observe. Pick a puppy that picks you is a good advice.....you have to have that special chemistry happening.

My next first choice (depending if I outlive my current mutt) would be a Jack Russell Terrier ....most dogs from that breed have intelligence, loyalty, attitude, energy and spunk in abundance. This breed is small so they are easy to get friends to babysit them when you go away.

Every smoker should have a dog. They make great listeners and sometimes (esp when the bud is good) will add to the conversation, though mostly it's one-sided.

woof!

I voted Pit, but have always had pure bred Staffordshire bull terriers. great with kids, but still have that fear factor for the non dog lover.

I agree! But if you feel you must I would go with the Shepard.

Bullmastiffs are great dogs, but in my experience there are breeds much better built for personal protection! My Mastiffs have always been/seemed way to laid back.
