Many dogs will protect their owners, and you don't know which will and
which
won't until the situation arises (unless your dog has protection
training).
The list of breeds that have physically driven off intruders/attackers is
long, and to some it's also surprising, running the gamut from breeds
you'd
expect (Rottweilers) to breeds that you wouldn't (Springer Spaniels).

The only dog I've owned that didn't show a protective streak was a Brittany
Spaniel. She was a little nuts though, which can be frightening in it's own
way. Okay, she was really, really, nuts.
