Best guard breed under 50lbs.
Just curious to see everyone's opinion on what breed they consider to be the most efficient guard dog under 50lbs. besides a APBT. I vote the standard schnauzer as a good contender.

Sorry - nevermind. (aDork)
I'm sorry to have caused, yet again, a controversial topic. I was asking about her line, not about whether or not she should or should not have been bred, and I did not expect you guys to assume that her current owner had bred her that much or that he didn't care about her health or her mental...

Min Pin Anyone?
Does anyone have one of these? We rescued a dog that we thought was a large Chi but turned out to be a Min Pin. We are crazy about him and so is everyone who meets him. In fact, we have had offers to buy him plus actual begging for him! His temperament is so sweet and friendly, he needs very little exercise...
