I agree : they are much worser in defense work than many other breed (not ALL breed, please! ) but I don't agree on the second point : if well trained and with a well balanced and socialized character, they can make protection work for fun, just to play and they can play well, as many other breed not so specialized in work -e.g malinois or work lines of GS-

Both our dogs attack for fun, just to play, and the decoy is absolutely relaxed, no-agressive at all. And they bite well !

who care about judges, if the dogs play, that's what I call "sport"
