I have an AKC Am Staff and a non papered American Pitbull female I got from the pound.

Both dogs are very protective of the home and family without any special training. The Am Staff was raised form a puppy and developed a protective sense around 6 months old.

I think the breed is not well suited for police/military use because
they are a bit too playfull. However for a family pet that will be a real deterent to home invaders I think they are a good choice.
