Yeesh. I want one bad now. Wife is extremely allergic to dogs tho
We’re wanting to get an Australian labradoodle, since they’re 100% hypoallergenic, once we move out of our apartment. But they cost $2,500 everywhere because they’re designer bred and in high demand
Not sure how effective they’d be to help with Home defense. I suppose at worst they’d alert us if something fishy was going on though, and having that extra time to get to a gun (since I’m not actually strapped just walking around my living room) can make allllll the difference in the world
Biggest they get is 55 pounds and they look like a freaking mop. Not the biggest fan, but the only creature that doesn’t give my wife hives
I grew up with 100-120 pounds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers as our family dogs. Super lovable to the family, and not really aggressive. Cops tried using them at K-9 units in colder climates, but had to stop as they wouldn’t attack on command, only if defending one of their caretakers.
Our last dog, Tank, scared away Jehova’s witnesses multiple times barking behind the screen door. Pretty sure he just wanted to sniff them and get petted though
