I hope this is the correct place to start this thread, if not will an admin. please move it the approriate place. I've looked and couln't find anything listed on here about this.
Here's the situation. I am gone 12 to 14hrs a day and my wife is home taking care of the home front. I read in our small local paper yesterday about a number of burglaries in our area. This seems to happening more often. It sounds like most thefts are for items that can turn a quick dollar. Things like window ac units, tools,etc...anything that quick to grab and go. We have a Border Collie that is a great companion but does not alert us at all when someone approachs. My wife does know how to protect herself and will (think 12ga), but I'm thinking of getting a dog that is specifically a breed that is a companion and also a guardian.
We live in a rural area with few neighbors, none within shouting distance. We've only had 911 for a few years (I don't count on that anyway) and our Sheriff's dept. which are all great guys have only 6 deputies to patrol the whole county. With this being said, we rely on ourselves to protect ourselves.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be helpful. One breed I considering is a Boerboel.
Thanks
