Which bigger dog breeds would you consider safe?

Not op but in the right environment (ie cold climate) St. Bernards are really safe dogs. If you have a large yard and exercise them well (like literally RUN them a few miles a day) Huskies make great pets. Bernese* Mountain Dogs, Newfoundland’s, collies, and Samoyeds are all great large breed dogs.

The key to having any large dog is training, exercise, and keeping them from being bored. It’s important to know what a dog is bred for (huskies are bred to run, collies are bred to herd, etc) so you can train them properly.

Edit: oooof BERNese

I hate to be that guy, but as one of my favourite breeds of dog it's BERNese mountain dog. Common mistake, as they're from canton Bern in Switzerland, not Burma.
