I would suggest a Bullmastiff. I have groomed a few in the past and they have all been big love muffins! One lived in a home with small children and a new baby and was extremely gentle with them. The only thing to consider is that they are very large (around 150 pounds), strong, and have a strong protective instinct. They should not actually attack and injure intruders to the home, but hold them in one place until help arrives. A good website to visit is Dog Breed Info Center®, DBI. They also have just about every other breed out there in their system, so feel free to look around! Good luck!

The bullmastiff seems to be the breed I keep coming back to
As I mentioned before, my only concern is the energy level.

Male Black lab has all those qualities. Mine is nuetered and has gotten very large and scares the crap out of most people. He's a pussy cat though.

Hi . There is also the Aussie sheperd . High energy, love to hike and do agility . Very protective of there owners . They do require training but train easy . I have two . They are the greatest. As long as you keep them busy and moving .

Yes they can be big boys, my friend has one that is 130lbs!! But there are common around here and I think almost everyone knows they are big cuddle bums

Actually, I believe that's what my mom's dog is mixed with! I spend a lot of time with her and yes, she has all the qualities you list, she's even competing in agility after just 3 months of training. They are great dogs for sure.

Hi, I just thought i would give you my thoughts, have you thought about a weimaraner i have one myself and a 6 year old she is so gentle with her and loves cuddling up to her, I also do agilty with her and she loves it and is very good at it to, they are large breed and can be very protectic of you but also gentle. They love running and mine jogs along quite happily with my partner and our collie, oh yes they are very good with other dogs to. they are beauitful dogs.

I would recommend the Boxer,they have all the qualities you want.I have 4 and we run an in home childcare.We had a person come in and evaluate our program for the quality rating system in Iowa.She made a note that our Boxers were "remarkably laidback dogs".All the children love them.But they are intimadating looking to strangers.

Also great suggestions, thanks
