German sheperds are a great breed, too, Anastrophe. Very versatile. Great guard dogs and leader dogs and search-and-rescue dogs. Not to mention wonderful family pets. It's all in their raising.

My neighbour has an Akita and he is the most beautiful dog I've ever seen (well apart from mine). He plays with the kids when they're playing football and cries when he sees me because I always give him a treat.
I have a black and white Shitzuh called Molly. She's a little cutey who's treated like one of the kids and spoilt rotten. But she's a little yappy dog who barks no matter whether you're coming in the house or leaving. She's frightened of cats (lost a few fights with them) but mixes well with other dogs big or small. She actually came face to face with a St Bernard not long ago and compared to it she looked like a little rat, but it didn;t faze her she had a sniff and then toddled off
