A genuine question though; what if one of your kids has a friend round, they have a falling out, and the friend punches your child in the face? You say the dog is protective of your children but in that scenario there's very real potential for a horrific outcome. No matter how well trained or intelligent a dog is, they can't be expected to understand the nuance that there's a difference between two teenage boys going a few rounds after a falling out, and someone being genuinely attacked.
