John, make sure you get the Shephard from a good source. They can suffer from hip displysia. We had one and she had it. Result of all that inbreeding. She was a great animal, but her hips caused us a lot of grief.

My recommendation is get a Rottweiler.

I have a female Rott that I have had for 10 years and I sleep very well at night with her in my room. I have also had other dogs and all my neighbors love my dogs because they bark when anyone strange comes around.

My Rott is very friendly when I'm around but also very protective. I used to leave her in the house when I wasn't there and I would have my friends tell me that she was very intimidating when they would come by and I wasn't home. I agree with what someone said that most people are much more afraid of an intimidating dog then an alarm or gun because they can't control the dog. I also had a friend of mine record my Rottweiler barking and growling for an automatic alarm that he put up at his office. It was set off by motion detectors outside and when they were tripped, the sound of the dog growling and barking would be set off inside the building...... It was great fun..
