Hello everyone, I would just like to thank every one who responded to me maturely and intelligently. Sinec you know much more about this breed than I do, I respect everything that was said. As a result, I've come to the conclusion that a CO would not be suitable due to the warm climate in my country. However, I still think they are the ultimate breed. Is there any other breed that someone can suggest that would be an excellent guard/protection dog for me? I would love something that has the same (or close to the same) intangibles as a CO but that would be able to thrive in The Bahamas. Thank you.
