Answer

A: He will naturally protect you. Pits don't make very good watch dogs, but they will protect their pack (you, your family, the shih tzu)

2)His name is Ali and I will never fight him but how can I put the massive size on him that I see in mags and on T.V.?

A: Those dogs are not built properly for a pit bull and actually have many health problems. Your dog, if a correct APBT, will be lean and muscular. Talk to your vet about a good exercise regimen and a good food. I suggest Nutro.
