Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Totally! Don't mess with one of my dogs! However since I have 2 German Shepherds and a Rottweiler I doubt that the intruder would have the opportunity to get said knife before they were using him for a game of tug-of-war.Originally Posted by Marlin
The OP referred to him as a burglar, thus I referred to him as a burglar.
There's no difference between burglar and intruder in practical terms when talking about a dwelling.
Burglary is basically defined as entering unlawfully or remaining unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime therein (against persons or property). If the burglar/intruder is armed with a deadly weapon it's 1st Deg Burglary.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

You'd be surprised how docile a dog becomes when you provide them with chew toys.. I turned my neighbors snarling, barking Shepherd into a sweet playful fluff ball.. The only thing she does now is beg.
That only happens with my boys if I let you in the door. Otherwise it's bite first and play later.
Now see that's why you need a aggressive breed...
Like my Jack Corgi Mix Guido's (nickname). I have been tore up by a few dogs in the day but this little guy is pure nastyness when he gets ticked.

This brings up a great point about dogs.
Lots of folks think that their dog will suddenly turn into Protecto-Hound when danger rears.
Most of these folks are wrong.
Dogs, like humans, will, when threatened with danger, resort to their training.

With dogs it is about training and instinct. I used to train Shutzhund (for the uninitiated that is the training that military and police dogs get) and a properly trained dog knoes when it should be in family mode, and then can flip a switch to protection mode when needed. Shepherds, Rotties, Dobermans generally do not need much training to encourage this instinct, if they are descendant from good working stock. They know if someone belongs or not and are excellent judges of character. I can recount many stories from my childhood, before I started training working dogs of Shepherd's we had that had no training that knew something was not right and protected the family with a single-minded purpose. Not to say that they are a catch all. A determined intruder can find a way around any obsticle you put in his way, bit generally if you have a pack of big naturally aggressive dogs they will go to easier pickings. BTW I had a buddy that in his youth was a criminal, did a lot of burglaries. He said the same thing about giving my dogs a steak. So, I challenged him to do it when I was not there. He said that he nearly was eaten by my boys.
My GSD is very protective of my family. She never lets my boys get more than few yards away from her at all times. Once they were in the back yard jumping on the trampoline and my Dad sneaked in from the side gate. He came around the corner and yelled trying to scare my boys. She ran up and bit him before she realized who he was.
