What went wrong with the good old cross-breeding? You can get bigger dogs, with more hair, that'll cut you down from 10 paces with cross-breeding... All the good species are dying out!
At least with cats they don't slobber on everything. And Cat owners live considerably longer than Dog owners.
If I had a dog that looked like that I'd walk it past a daycare. Freak out the little'uns. Fun.
Teach it to growl under its breath like a demon or something, too. That always adds to the fear factor. You can't have little kids who aren't afraid of horrid-looking things, no sir.

Wow! a face like that would have either given me nightmares every night, or caused me to wake up screaming from the sight of that dog every morning! and for six years... *shivers*
