My Rott never barks when people knock on our door, and I for one love that he doesnt. My husband works nght, so I am alone at night, I have a gun in the house to protect me, my kids, and my rott. I must admit I do feel a little better having him laying with me knowing i am not alone when the kids are all sleeping. There was one time I had someone in my frontyard, looking around, and Zeus barked and growled at them through a window and they went running off. But I dont expect him toprotect him, I protect him as long with my kids, but he does make me feel better when i am alone.
