I can see you are becoming more knowledgeable about dogs in general. You have also demonstrated, all along, to be a responsible dog owner and a passionate dog lover :)

Like I said in my posting, and I quote myself:
"While I agree that you should not rely only on a dog for protection, and thus you should have in place a combination of security measures, still you cannot disregard the value of a guarding dog, as one of the ways to provide personal security."
