This is something of a contradiction. Why? Well these dogs were bred to be strong, dominant and somewhat aggressive. Yet, BRTs are confident, calm, highly intelligent, brave and loyal all at once. Ideal representatives of this breed should never be timid. They will not for second hesitate to defend those that they love if they believe that person is under some sort of threat. The BRT may seem aloof, but this is mostly with strangers, This huge dog loves and needs human companionship; and so it bonds deeply to its family. They are wary of strangers and take a long time to warm up to unfamiliar people, thus they make excellent guard dogs. BRTs are dominant by nature and need confident owners who have experience handling similar dogs. Therefore their rather pradoxical nature makes them unique and highly sought-after. A great dog…strong and dominant, yet loving and calm.
