well I always just liked big dumb dogs. And mastiffs are huge and dumber than a sack of hammers. haha. They are just like dog... in need of understanding, boundaries, respect, and love. Just like people :-P

I wouldn't really recommend Huskies for like a defense situation though. They are not all too big and not aggressive towards humans, often the opposite. If you know of any working huskys, personal protection huskies, let me know... if they could perform that task as well as remain strong, able to survive the roughest conditions, willing to carry and pull.

I was considering buying and training with a dog, or perhaps two, and am currently torn between husky and other more security based dogs like a Doberman (tooth-rockets :-P) or a German Sheperd.

the Doberman and the like are probably much more able to be trained to subdue enemies and secure areas, but the husky is gonna be way more survivable and I can have it/them share the pack load with me by using those dog packs.

perhaps ill ask a trainer about the feasibility of a husky as a personal protection dog.
