How Different Dog Breeds React to Home Invaders

Dogs naturally want to protect their homes and families, but some are better at it than others. Some need only their reputation, while others have to actually make a move to scare a stranger off.

Every dog is different. I've known labradors that would welcome all strangers, others that would bark at them, and even one that would just run and hide. There are some generalities one could make, but it's all up to the individual dog.

The only one I had a real issue was the first one. I've been around dobermans quite a bit, and I can tell you they are vicious protectors. They will do the same thing to you that a pitbull would if they don't know you.

While all dogs can hurt people, Dobermans are one of the most common instigators of dog bite attacks. Dobermans have a bite force of around 305 pounds per square inch, and their small yet sharp jaws allow this dog breed to bite someone in rapid succession.Oct 14, 2021

Great idea! There's nothing like a dog to evoke love and caring feelings, and it's a great way to learn responsibility.
