It pays to have a doggie in the window, and not one hand bag dogs either.

25 years ago we had a single dog of the same breed we now have. We suffered a break in and they not only took items but the dog as well! Our solution was to get a Dobie who was Show, Attack and Guard trained. Never had a reoccurence. Recently, having walked up to the front door after work and catching them otherwise preoccupied, I inserted the key in the lock to open the door. I was immediately greeted by three menacing faces in the window, all baring fangs and barking ferociously. I was mightily impressed and had I been an intruder would've wasted no time in making an exit, stage left!

I have 2 dogs and live in the neighborhood of one of the break ins. Didn't stop them from taking my computer in December!

We've got three 50+ pound "watch dogs." In reality they wouldn't hurt anyone (unlike guard dogs) but collectively they present a formidable presence in the front bay window. They let us know whenever someone comes a calling.
