Interesting Video. Will Your Dog Protect Your Home?

They'd definitely bark if someone came to the door or tried to get inside. I really doubt they'd do anything once they got in. Probably go for attention My last Lab, Josie, may have attacked. She was very protective of me and even just certain men walking up to me outside would get her barking. A drunk man approached me once late at night and he scared me and kept asking to see Josie. I said no she's not friendly. (not thinking she'd do anything but the guy was creepy) Anyway the guy said he didn't care and came up to me anyway and she started barking and even snapped at him when he got too close. He immediately backed off and went a different way. I was thankful for that. That was the only time she ever snapped though.

That video was really interesting.

Well, we know what Ethan would do... Basically, my sister used to be really bad about not answering her phone during the day. This sometimes worried my mum, so she called in a favor to a few local policemen (my cousin was a well-respected member of the force at the time). They went to go check on my sister, but after they found the front door locked, (with permission) they kicked the door open. We warned them about Ethan, since we were pretty darn certain he would bite. It turns out that his form of defending the home includes releasing his bowels all over the living room. He never bit, just barked and kept his distance. Hey, maybe he thought he could slow down their escape if they slipped in a pile of you-know-what?

I don't remember if we had Sala at the time. I'm 90% certain that she would just follow them room to room trying to get them to pet her.
