I have a husky. Never even tried to run, even with the doors open lol. Have to say he got neutered when he got to the right age tho.
Always had dogs, but a husky is by far my favorite. But those hangover walks....... -_-

I also have a husky, but that's total nightmare, he's totally uncontrollable, even though I really love my mate. He's been away and out for 5 times, I guess, but always returning all dirty and happy that he "walked around" a lil bit, crazy dog

I had two German Shepherds in my life

For protection or companionship? or both
Protection; Rottweiler, German shepherd
Companionship; Rottweiler, German shepherd, Labrador retrievers,
Both; Literally any of the aforementioned breeds
Any dog can be a guard dog, or a companion, or both, but these are the ones I've had experience with

I strongly suggest a Bichon Frise and a pug, as your finical constraints a smaller dog would be cheaper and easier to train, however beware dogs can be expensive. Take into account food every month, grooming, showers, toys, puppy taring, and don't get me started on vet visits and shots. Look into how much money youll need for each breed.

I've owned a German Sheppard around 25 years ago, and It was a brilliant guard dog to say the least.

It was a pure breed (with papers of authenticity), and his parents were police dogs at the time. He wasn't cheap- 1,500$ which was a lot of money back then.

I think that the German Shepherd is the smartest breed of dogs

I'd recommend rescuing a dog, whatever breed you choose. I'm a fan of terriers.

I've had 2 terriers, but if I had to pick another I'd pick a Shiba Inu or Corgi.
