You are missing the point, I said a major reason is for protection, I never said solely, you are trying so hard to prove a point against me, you miss the point

Bronco67 gets the point.

Roald gets the point, but his dog didn't see it as a danger. I'm sure he would let you know if anyone came in the house. Labs are good dogs.
People get dogs for all sorts of reasons, but they depend on them to announce if someone is breaking in the house, even to let them know someone is at the front door. A toy poodle is better than most any alarm system.
Look in Holland where you say you live

They train protection dogs
I've had the following breeds
Weimaraner - couldn't swim
Vizla- too damn hyper
French Masthiff - Funny dog
German Shepard - Patrolled the property
Border Collie - Smartest dog ever, very protective of children, herded them together to keep an eye on them.
Bull Mastiff- ate more food than most could afford
Black Newfoundland- This one didn't bark, but killed anything that came in the back yard
Dog also smiled, which scared people
I don't have one right now, but thinking about getting something
