Looking for a guard dog when you live alone raises a more important question than which dog looks toughest. Can that dog recognize something unusual, respond to your direction, and settle when the situation is harmless?

Some dogs walk into a room. Others seem to float in with enough silky hair to deserve their own shampoo commercial.
