For the past 15 years my family and I have had a love affair with the
Labrador Retriever.  We had never owned a dog before and never even
considered it.  
While away at school I met a woman who bred Labradors.  I became
enchanted with them.  After I saw my first Whelp I was hooked.  I didn't
expect to own a Lab till after I was out of school but fate intervened.  My
apartment was burglarized.  It was the most horrifying and invasive
experience.  I had to have a dog! Not just any dog but the dreaded and
elusive Yellow female Labrador Retriever!  The greatest and bravest guard
dog ever created.  Boy was I ever in for a surprise.  
Although Ariel did eventually develop a threatening bark, after she was a
year old, she would have licked the burglar to death before doing any
harm.  
Moral of this story is: Labs can be great watch dogs but not great guard
dogs.
