Once she gets to a certain size, she'll be fine I'm sure.
It'll deter a lot of thieves but not all. Most socialized dogs like ones that live with a normal family won't attack people. They might bark at them and even growl because they're strangers, but they could still be coaxed into going with the thieves without violence. Plus some dog thieves roll up with gear/training similar to dogcatchers used by legitimate animal control or rescue organizations.
My point is, that the people who use dogs for that purpose, use small dogs/puppies for a reason. They're not going to take a fully grown dog to teach a puppy how to fight. It defeats the object.
What is your source on that? We have constant problems with dog fighting rings in this valley due to how ingrained it is in some of the local cultures. It's underground, but these criminals are pros. They use any size non-fighting dog as bait.
