Hi Everyone, 

My first post here I have been researching breeds for a while now and could use some help.  Thanks in advance for any feedback suggestions.

My criteria:

Great With Kids  I have a 5 and a 7 year old.

Low Shedding,

Can tolerate Toronto weather.

medium to large -- size wise think Am Staff to Cane Corso.

I plan on having him do obedience training  and some bite work (not correct term but you get the idea)  

Temperament:  Tolerate Strangers, not to concern with dog aggression,  Looking for a nice calm family dog that if push comes to shove will protect.
