At least the one's I've been around have been....i don't mean that ALL of them attack people, dogs, etc....they just bark like hell when you get within 100 feet of the house. I've been around other breeds, and they don't seem as defensive. My folk's always took care to socialize the dogs and get them around others, so i don't think it was becasue they didn't like people. These are just generalizations based on my observations.....not fact....
