when you have a dog that you do not have
control of that's not protection.

That was the point I was attempting to communicate.

Control would be the issue. The OP stated that he wanted the dog in
question to be protective *and* to act independently. What he has
described is a dog that is *not* under control, and that strikes me
as a spectacularly bad idea.

I don't know what the OP's actual needs are, but if he truly needs a
protection dog, I would suggest looking for a dog with a good, stable
temperament that is well socialized people, and to work with a good
trainer who is skilled in protection work.
