My Dobe considers everything within his range of vision to be “mine” and reacts appropriately so in effect, he guards the neighbors down at the end of the lane, too.
I should charge them a monthly surveillance fee.

I knew a St Bernard like that. Now the little Chihuahua was a different matter. She ripped the shirt right off the burglar and sent him packing.
I would say they were a good working pair. LOL
Sounds like my lab and chihuahua, will join in carrying everything out of the house thinking it is a game...
My wife has a small sociopath mixed breed critter. She's too soft and he walks all over her. My wife gets fed up with his barking and yells at him. He "talks back" (barks back at her). I was outside fixing a tire. When he heard the air compressor he went nuts and barked his head off. I told him (from outside) to quiet down and he did.
Thieves avoid our place not because the dog is intimidating; they avoid us because he's so annoying!
“As a watch dog, she would WATCH while they carried everything out of the house.”
LOL
As long as it barks to warn you of intruders when your home, hope it does that at least.
