well, it says they have the dogs in the pound, ready to be put down, so i guessthey would know if its a pitbull or not. I don't have anything against them, but i know they are the choice dog for sickos to breed "mean", like Dobermans, i stay away from them.
I think a good "defense" dog would be a female German Shepherd, they're supposed to be great with kids, very motherly and protective. I hope to get another malmute/husky, it seems to be a good mix. My uncle had a Timber Wolf, thats always an option, too.
