Well, I'm looking for a smart and protective dog, I'm gone most of the day, and my wife is home with the kid's, I dont want him to be vicious, I just want him to be alert and strong, if someone someone want's to break in..they will be scared...malamute's are good dog's too.

That sounds reasonable, some people expect to have pet dogs that are great with people and kids but are also highly territorial and aggressive, it just doesn't make sense.
Rottweilers are gorgeous and really great natured dogs, I think it would suit what you're looking for and it sounds a little like you've made up your mind anyway, haha.
my little girl!

She is adorable, it's ridiculous that a few terrible owners, failing to look after their dogs have given Pitbulls such a bad reputation.

You just read my mind..lol, well, that's what I want, A dog who loves it's family, and highly territorial. But, not vicious.

There's a difference between a dog being protective and a dog acting dangerously, you just have to know how to draw the line. If you maintain training and proper discipline this should be easy.
Airedale.
Get a male as they get larger. Mine is around 80lbs and sends people to the other side of the street when they walk by. They are great with kids and easy to train but make sure you are more strong willed than it is.
My neighbors brother came outside to smoke. He had never seen Finn before. I my dog bark and someone say HEY HEY HEY!. I go outside and the guy is hugging the side of the house with 10ft and a 6ft chain link fence separating them. Finn wasn't trying to be menacing but his presence in a dark ally is intimidating. I put the dog inside and the guy just looks at me and says..."thats a big mother F**kin dog, man"
Hope that gives you some ideas.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier - female! Or a Jack Russell. Both small and don't shed much (very short haired) but both VERY feisty so be prepared to train them!
