Dale's hair stands up too! He is a good guard dog as well. Once he knows you, he is a love, but if you are a stranger, he is going to protect his family. I too don't feel real comfortable when strangers (men), come into the house to work on something...and when asked by them, if he is friendly, i just let them know that he is very protective of his family...b/c as you said, they would think twice if they were going to try to rob the place, or worse, take advantage of women...
