The MD site owner and admins probably already know this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. I was reading more about bandogs at Canine Coalition because someone here suggested a bandog might meet the type of guard dog we'd want after we move so I've been trying to learn all I can about the bandog and the other suggested breeds. Anyway, they're quoting MD info extensively: http://caninecoalition.com/dog-breeds/Bandog
