If she/he is a large breed like the Great Pyrenees, not only a wonderful protector of family but only flocks and herds. I think one of those very large breeds would make a wonderful family pet if the family had on a decent sized place and could afford the amount of good dog food needed for its size. The heartbreaking thing about owning any breed of large dog is their short lifespan. Some even have as low as 5-7 years! The much more annoying breeds like chihuahuas live two or three times as long. Unfair!!
