Only his food!! Hes a terrible guard dog, just wags his tail and goes daft when he sees someone coming to the door - although being a rather large Alaskan Mal, he is rather intimidating and folks cross the road when Im walking him, although the only thing you would have to worry about would be the possibility of being licked to death.

Our old dog likes to protect us - against other dogs anyway. However, seemingly our younger one (5 odd years old) is not so brave as my mum found out the other day when she met 5 labradors (all on leads). Old dog does his best 'big dog' act and yet the younger one (GSD x I may add) screamed and yelped and ran away!!! ha ha ha. they hadn't even touched her.
I don't think i shall rely on her to protect me from any sort of attack!!!

Yes. He's a rottie and while I like the guard instinct I have trained hard to keep that instinct under my control IYSWIM. He puts himself between me and anyone dodgy approaching and the one time I was really threatened by someone, he jumped up at them and knocked them over but I was really pleased that he didn't bite and he settled down immediately (until the toerag tried to get up) He is also very protective of my friends children - if they cry he will go get their mother and will place himself between them and a 'stranger' until he's told it's OK. Sometimes what he sees as a stranger is the child's father/granddad/gran if he doesn't know them well.
My old JRT has always been my personal bodyguard and in her younger days had to be watched very carefully as she would nip anyone who walked between me and her, took a bit of work to manage that! She was also a very efficient car guard...nobody was allowed touch my car even if she knew them.
Both of those dogs come back to me, sit and bark if we are walking and they see something odd - usually somebody "hiding" ie someone behind a tree, wall or hedge. The JRT did it naturally and I trained the rottie to do the same as most of the time it's something innocent and it would be unfair to have a barky, bouncy rott in your face but I do want to know if there is somebody hiding behind that tree regardless! The one time that didn't work was when there was a cavorting couple having a very good time
behind a hedge and he pawed the blokes bum, then barked 
and when I arrived well, I don't know who was more embarrassed as the couple didn't dare move until I removed the dog and then they could get dressed...
As far as the house is concerned, while I'm out anybody can come in the front door, that's allowed in the dog rule book. NOBODY is allowed in the back gate even people who were in the house 5 minutes earlier. The JRT is the ring leader, the rottie follows her in things like this.
The (new) younger JRT seems to be all mouth and no trousers...lots of noise as he backs away.
My previous JRT bitch was anybodies - all kisses and cuddles and the only skin she would have saved was her own
