I didn't even think about that. I read an article a few years about about pet store owners claiming that the majority of customers looking for a large dog (100lbs +) are single college girls who want home defense. I wouldn't suggest a single female to own a dog that rivals them in weight, but since they are a couple I figured it might be a good move.
