My last dog was a lab/dob. He would do the same, protect the car with fangs and foam. But he was unpredictable around kids.
So when he was getting old and dying of cancer, I decided to research my next dog.
I don't particularly like pure breds, both because of the ailments associated with inbreeding, and also for the same insurance reasons. So I found a "mutt". His mother was a small rottweiller, and his father a chocolate lab.
He came out to be a beautiful 163 pound black lab/rot that looks like a lab on steroids! His paws are a big as my hands and my neighbor measured his chest at 50 inches!
But I would recommend this cross breed to anyone. He has the mellow temperment of a lab, without the wandering and crazyness, yet the devotion. and obidience of a Rottweiller.
