then the best thing for you is to have a loud yappy watchdog, and for you to have a gun.
A Pomeranian or Maltese fulfills this role amazingly

>Maltese
Fuck I hate these noisy shits. Any intruders would probably kill themselves to make it stop.

These are awful choices.
It's called a German shepherd OP. An intruder isn't gonna be deterred by one of those. If they see a German shep they'll just rob the place next door. If they see your Pomeranian they'll probably take that too and sell it to some Chinese place.
