That's kind of always been my take on those breeds.  Neat dogs (when they're cared for properly), but I'd never have any want for owning one.

Thats kinda what i thought.
Neat dogs, but more than I'd want to get into
For those looking to get into that game, I always recommend a trial run with a really big dog first. Then a largish dog with a territorial, sharp temperament. Then, if they can safely train and handle both of those, try something like a Tibetan Mastiff. The TMs are a scaled back version of the CO and CS. Slightly smaller, usually, and not quite as inclined to eat someone’s face off. If they can safely manage and train a series (not a one off, but several) of TMs, and are still interested in one of the Caucasian breeds, they’re probably ready to handle it.
I'm guessing that's around where they generally figure out that they don't know their asshole from their elbow when it comes to dog training
Right about there, yeah. Most people never venture beyond that point. They either screw it all up, or they decide they’ve gone far enough and don’t need to keep going. And really, that’s about where I am. I simply don’t need anything more than that. I could probably handle something more, but I don’t need it, and I don’t want to. I’ve met a few TMs that were really cool, but most of them aren’t anything i’d want to handle on a daily basis. I just don’t need that in my life.

Farthest i’m going is a Boerboel or Anatolian Shepherd. Well, probably both. The Anatolians will be out with the critters, though.

This from one of the biggest nerds we have.
I got yer nerd right here, pal.
Do you disagree that you're one of the biggest nerds we have?
Nah
I have met you.

You are a rather large dude.

Hence, one of our biggest.

And you have a bunch of electronic stuff - computers, HAM, musical mixing equipment - you know how to use. Hence, nerd.

Put the 2 together, and you are one of our biggest nerds.

Now, put on your pocket protector, and go earn dat chedda, yo!

It was much easier than I expected.  Just do a bunch of practice tests.

Of course, I just have a General license.  I think the Extra exam is quite a bit harder.
Which one(s) do you HAVE to have? Do you need a Technicians before you can get the General? Can you go straight for the general and it covers the Technicians also?

We’re pulling the trigger on fencing in some pasture this spring, and goats, pigs, and possibly geese to follow. Initially, we’ll probably just get some cheapo livestock from auctions while we’re still learning what it takes to keep them alive, but after a while, a LGD is going to be necessary. I plan to have heritage breeds after we know what we’re doing, and those aren’t as easily replaced.

If you like big and shaggy, there are not so sharp breeds for that. Newfs, Leos, St. Bernards, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Pyrenees, Spanish Mastiffs, etc.

If you pass one level they'll typically ask if you want to try for the next. You might as well since it's free and can't hurt anything. Unless you're testing under Laurel VEC which does it all for free anyway.

When I took General I hadn't even looked at the Extra material. I passed General easily so I gave Extra a shot since I was already sitting there. Got something like 48%

Also also, the No Nonsense Study Guide is really good.  It's a PDF file you can buy online.  It gives you all the test answers but also explains why the correct answer is the correct one.
