I had a 60 lb black lab (SUE) and I never figured she would be a problem to any one until a guy holding a stick started yelling at me. She went after him and It was all I could do to stop her.

Dogs are very protective of their owners and their homes. It does not matter what breed they are. I have a 16 1/2 year old 26 pound Sheltie, and he still will chase a strange man back to his car if he gets near me. I also have a 3 1/2 year old Malamute/Husky/Lab mix who will get between me and any strange man who comes near me. He has pinned a man against my foyer wall, and it turned out that man had bad intentions.

Neither of my dogs has been trained to be attack dogs or guard dogs.
