I agree with you. We have a chocolate Labrador. He's a big boy, around 90 lbs, and he has a big boy bark. Whenever someone comes to the door he's at the top of the steps barking his fool head off, especially if I'm not home and it's just my wife and him. He's hyperprotective of her. And people are very rattled when they see him at the top of the stairs.

He's the gentlest, sweetest, kindest dog and he just lights up when he sees people and wants nothing more than to make a new friend. But if someone ever broke into our house I suspect it wouldn't be pretty.
