You make a great point Bantu, even in breeds that are bred for guarding often not every single puppy from one litter will end up being a great guardian.
I forgot to mention that (just in case anyone wonders) none of the LGD breeds are suited for PP work in the traditional sense of the word.
They can do the basic protection work but they can not be compared to HH, GSD's or B.Malinois from working lines when it comes to this.
Because they lack the high prey drive, they are very independent and difficult to call off; just to name a few things.
And I see I made a small mistake in my previous message, I wrote the word "dimensions" when I was naming some of the reasons why CO's are not used by the immoral people for dog fighting. I made it sound like CO's are massive, but although there is no maximum height or weight set for either the CO or the CAO, CAO's are typically a little bigger and heavier.
Especially the ones from modern lines.
I meant to say that people who keep CAO from fighting lines claim CO's are not built powerfully enough when compared with to their dogs and that they get tired more easily.
Whether this is true or not, I don't even care. I just think it would be truly disastrous for CO's to be hijacked by the nasty dog fighters and I hope this never happens.
I have not posted pics of my CO's before. I hope no one will mind if I just post their pictures in this topic.
Our male (he's the red one) is almost 31 inches tall and he weighs 120 lbs. The female is 26.5 inches and she weighs 107lbs:
