i apologize but how old are you? and how much do you actually know about this breed? Your dog is 4 months old! You can NOT in your right mind, expect him to protect you or himself at this age! These dogs need EXTENSIVE socialization otherwise you could have a very dangerous animal on your hands which not only makes it more likely your dog would be put down for aggression but it also gives people another reason to put our breed in a bad light which is what we're trying to fight against by PROPER training, PROPER socialization, PROPER handling... We continually fight against breed prejudice because someone didnt do what they needed to do in order to have a well balanced dog that knew when to fight and when to take flight. Seriously! I was EXTREMELY disappointed to read this post. YOU have to take great steps to socialize your dog PROPERLY! YOU have to take great steps to TRAIN your dog PROPERLY! YOU have to take great steps to RAISE a well balanced dog that puts the breed in the POSITIVE light it not only deserves but to put the rest of us RESPONSIBLE owners in a positive. We all work very hard to keep our dogs by raising them and training them properly. After reading this post, i dont think you deserve having this dog in your life because it sounds to me like you intend to abuse the power these dogs have as adults. If these people were really trying to steal your dog, what the **** were you doing walking him there in the first place. You PUPPY is just that! A PUPPY!!! They know NOTHING beyond playing. You put your dog in a negative situation that could very well cause permanent damage mentally and could not be corrected. You dont sound old enough to understand what you've gotten into much less what you're doing. PLEASE do right by this dog. Do what you're supposed to be. Without socializing and training properly, you are risking the loss of your dog because this can create serious trouble should the dog bite in the wrong instance. YOU would be the reason your dog were to get put to sleep because you didnt do the right things to raise a WELL BALANCED and WELL TRAINED dog. Could you live with yourself knowing you had caused his death because you failed to do right by him?
And in all honesty (still!!)... i seriously doubt anyone on this board is going to tell you how to continue being irresponsible. ESPECIALLY with a puppy. Train properly, socialize properly and constantly! THATS how you get a dog that knows how to handle things.
