Obviously the gentle giant, Irish Wolfhound. You need space for them to run but they are fantastic

with kids and people in general. Terrible guard dogs, will let a burglar clean the house out. Awesome guardian guards. If they think there is danger to one of their people, the perp is likely not leaving in good shape. I also love labs or lab mixes. Sheps are fantastic dogs.. Just don’t have the time and energy to train one right now.
