One thing you should know, or consider. Even though my dogs have protective instinct, I would not want, nor rely on, the dog actually harming another person. Just the presence of my dogs is a deterent to the bad guys. But when it comes down to a fight, a dog is not bulletproof (knifeproof). Don't get a dog because you want it to eat the bad guys. As for deterents, a home alarm system will do the same job.
