"BRTs were designed to protect people and places as well as to help with other tasks in a combat situation. That is going to lead to a different set of natural behaviors than is going to be seen in a breed that is designed primarily for companionship. These dogs are bred first for the task and then for companionship."

"The BRT is a great breed, but they aren?t for everybody.  They require extensive training with a person that understands working dogs,  extensive socialization in and out of the home by someone that can read the dog,  and someone that is going to make sure the dog isn?t put in to a position that will compromise safety for the dog and people around the dog."
