Posting here, because I believe this to fit under the topic of mindset. My personal feeling is that dogs--even the dogs that my wife and I have favored over the decades: Pinschers, Rotties, Boxer/AmStaff mixes--are fun, loving, and occasionally stinky, alarm systems. Not defensive tools.
Bluntly, if I really wanted into a house with dogs, I'd likely be able to get past them, and I'm no door kicker or criminal mastermind.
