Coyote

I mean, look at them, they're going after each other, which means they're dog-aggressive, and they're HUGE.

Thats like saying pitbulls are viscous killers. I have enough experience with the breed to say they are not a dog for anyone, they should not be kept as pets. If brought up right they are amazing. No disrespect intended.

I think the problem would be that u cant trust a gamedog with any other dogs LOL

Pit bulls are potentially vicious killers ... wouldn't guard pit bulls with bigger pit bulls either

This has nothing to do with the subject.

The subject is GUARDING your pups, not replacing one potential killer with another.

Any animal that is dog-agressive, HUGE, and even mildly game is a threat to the lives of the smaller pit bulls on the chain.

Has nothing to do with respect, it has to do with basic horse sense.
I tried to explain this to Griddog, when he proposed the "great idea" of getting two huge Rhodesian ridgebacks (lion killers) to guard his little dogs, and I told him it was a bad idea.
He didn't listen, the inevitable "squabble" happened while he was gone ... and his best friend & greatest dog got killed, and he has never been the same (or heard from) since.

It doesn't really matter who starts it; what matters is IF the (supposed) guard will engage, IF it can cause damage, and IF it's game "enough" to kill a pit bull with its weight advantage.

For this reason, I think a simple German shepherd would be better (a female).
They're not monstrously huge.
They're not game enough to kill a small bulldog.
But they WILL run off coyotes if trained to ... without jeopardizing your yard.
