Nope Broken Arrow, my older dog is basically deaf and dumb to the world at night. And the younger a coward too afraid to bark. They're just body heat at night.
But seriously I've lived with big dogs on my bed and once a person was tapping on my window at home (1-story home), I only had a beagle sleeping with me. But when the person heard the a very large dog (Doberman) come running and barking I heard tires squealing. She was over 100 lbs and slept in the house with my mom. And my mom came running with a gun! She grew up with guns, my grandfather always had a shotgun, not that he needed it with the dogs around the house. You'd basically have to be dumb and stupid to enter the yard without one of the family there to say it's okay.
I might learn to use a gun one day. My DH isn't fond of the idea and I don't think we'll ever get to that point unless we're burglarized. But if we were I don't doubt we'd have a large dog the next day that was properly trained.
FWIW, my cousin works in the police canine unit. Those are some very tough dogs.
