If you want to ultimate protector.. Dogo Argentino (a proper one not the mongrelised pig hunting mutts we see here..)
Our neighbor in Uruguay had one and he got thrown in one of his farm sheds and locked in there whilst the perpetrators went about burglarising his property, when they got to the house they thought they were safe because said Dogo Argentino was chained to a heavy kennel on the lawn. It is all speculation what actually happened once they got inside the house but what is known is that the dog towed the kennel right across the yard, smashed straight through the ranch slider with Kennel still in tow and the inside of the house looked like a murder scene with blood everywhere (that didn't belong to the dog..) the dog had then followed/chased the perpetrators through the house and out a bathroom window, the only thing that had stopped it and probably allowed the perpetrators to live to see another day was he had followed them out through the open window but the kennel wouldn't fit through it, dog found outside the window still attached to his chain and apparently very proud of himself.
