hey, don't get me wrong, I like dogs!
I just want to tell you that there are risks involved and a dog won't stop a determined criminal.
Dogs can be taken out quite easily by burglars. A few years ago there was a story about a thug that shot pieces of meat laced with an anti-colagulant (rat poison) into people's garden with a catapult used for fish bait. The meat smelled and tasted fine so the dogs went for it. It took a couple of days for the dogs to die, but die they did. And then the distraught owners were robbed.
The family dog of my wife (then my girfriend) died of a tumor in it's brain that made it so aggressive that it needed to be put down. The sweetest, most tolerant dog can turn on your family and friends because of something like that.
