A dog works wonders on these types. Mine is a very friendly choc. lab, but her size intimidates strangers. They back off very quickly. Little do they know that if I let her loose on them, she would just lick them to death!

I have boxers. One is 85 lbs and the other is 55 lbs. Though they are the nicest dogs in the world, they hate strangers and anyone who knocks on the door. And boxers of that size, especially the 85 lb one are very intimidating in appearance.

I am intimidated just thinking about the two boxers, especially the big guy. I do find that even just the bark, drives people away from the front door. I can't imaging any one stupid enough to trespass on your property with two viscous sounding barks on the other side of the door! My beleif is that a good dog is the best home security available.

[Wright is right!]

Shouldn't you be busy doing mortgages or something?

Glad to hear that you're a dog man, too. Nothing like 'em for love, loyalty, companionship and entertainment. Not to mention protection.

I have a boxer. He's about 75 lbs. The word "stranger" is not in his vocabulary. All he sees is a "new friend." He has a VERY intimidating appearance and a bark straight from Cujo hell; but he loves everybody. It's kind of hard to tell strangers what a mean guard dog he is as I hold his collar and his butt wiggles in anticipation of greeting his "new friend" with a sloppy lick.

All my dog thinks when the door bell rings is "pizzza!!!" and then tries to hump the delivery persons leg...
