Not really. It’s not about having a dog that will attack intruders, it’s about something that will prevent them from taking a chance on the house in the first place. If you’re a burglar and you hear a dog barking on the other side of the door you’re probably moving on. I have a big dog, but he wouldn’t hurt a fly. If someone broke into my house he’d be more likely to greet them with a hug than a bite. But if you open my door and see that beast sitting there, you’d have to be an idiot not to move on to the next house.
You also probably sleep better knowing no one is coming close to your house without you knowing about it. I know I do.
