I wished she would, a loud bark but no way she would be able to protect me, a Miniture Sausage ( Dachsund) Dog, she was made for love not attacking.

My dog is dead now but she was a typical red cattle dog.No-one could touch me when she was around & she was always around when I was outdoors.I never trained her to do it,it was just the way she was.

Why should dogs be expected to protect you Randy...surely you have a dog because you love the dog?...Not to be used as some kind of a weapon to protect you..Shouldn`t it be you protecting your dogs as you would hopefully do to any of your loved ones?...Maybe you should just get a burglar alarm and pay a security guard to watch you 24/7...Is it the dog`s responsibilities to take your bullets:-?....Especially if you were a contributor in any way to a confrontation!

We have had many dogs throughout the years...barely remember a time when we didn't. It's possible some of them would have stepped in between a "bad guy" and me, others who would not have batted an eye.  Dieszal (American Bulldog) certainly has the strength, but I don't know about the temperament.  He is a big (100 lb) baby. 
Our family dog when I was a kid was an airedale terrier named Judy.  I remember distinctly my dad removing his belt one time for spanking us (sister and me).  Judy got in front of us and growled meancingly at my dad. He backed down; Judy was NOT kidding.

No but I would never expect my dog to give it's life for me. That's why I have a shot gun.  

That's one recycled photo you have there.

My old boy Steely Dan Dog and his pal Blue bagged one of two creeps that showed up at my farm to rob the house thinking no-one home (this was some years ago mind)...surprise surprise...they were met by a 30 odd 6 wielding chick (moi) with 2 Pitbulls and good ole Dan Dog!!!! One guy threw himself back in the truck on the passenger side floor while the other tried to talk all nice asking if so-and-so lived here...I commenced raising my rifle as both Dan and my fem Bulldog Blue lunged and grabbed with success at his groin...and NO I did not teach them to do that! I had one heck of a time getting Blue to let go by voice commands but Dan was satisfied with the one crotch-snap-grab and content to watch his pal Blue ravish the guy...she finally let him go so he could dash back to his truck and flee! My third dog, Sergeant Bonehead was stunned with amazement and just sat there looking goomy...as did I!! Do not mess with me...oh...and beware of the dawgs!!!
