Dogs have helped us with this quite a bit. I also have a taser gun that could bring down a gorilla.
@my old apartment between me and my brother and cousin we had a tarus .45, shot gun, ar-15, snub nose .38, and a i think a .308 rifle. real home protection
for the gun i would recommend a mossberg 500. Comes fully pimped with a pistol grip 
relatively cheap as well. Theres something about the click click sound of the shotty that will have any invader wetting himself and running for the door.

Or a guerrilla.
My next dog WILL be a Rot. My girl isn’t too keen on it (b/c she likes boxers) but I’m gonna get myself one; and have it professionally trained.
And having a shotgun while it’s growing up/being trained will be nice as well.

Don’t taze me bro.
As others have said, a dog in the home is a great thing. Install an alarm system and put up signs. Find a used pair of size 14 work boots and leave em outside your door, at least they know a man is in the house this way.

I don’t know why people think this. I have easily killed many a dog and kicked the snot out of others…including the “mean, bad-ass” ones. I hate dogs and dogs are pussies. If I were a criminal they would not deter me.
This one sure didn’t help, of course for all I know it could have been a poodle - but still:

All good ideas. Including the gun. Fantastic if you know they are there but you have to be able to do something about it. A 12 gauge should do the trick.

In a confined space a pistol is better than a shotgun IMO. Think aboout how long a 12ga is, even with a short barrel and no stock. Can’t go wrong with a .357 revolver for home protection.

A cane corso is a good compromise between the two breeds.

Excuse me, Billy Badass, didn’t realize you were here. The dog is actually to alert you in the event someone were to break into the house.
OP, your best bet is to just ask this guy to live in your basement. He is apparently really tough and strong. Your girl may find him extremely hard to resist though, what with all his manly ruggedness and whatnot. But at least he will keep you safe from intruders, canine and otherwise.

Depends on how confined I guess. In a closet he may have a problem.
a .357 would do the trick but a shotgun makes it hard to miss. You can buy specially designed shotguns with pistol grips and shortened barrels too.

Spiny bear’s breeches
I’m not sure what type of plants can survive where you live. go to a garden center and get some spiney, spikey plants and plant them around the windows. you can find some that will survive in your climate zone. you will find nice looking ones that have beautiful blooms and many bear a fruit that birds like and some that you can eat. these plants will eat anyone that trys to go through them.
maybe some of these would work
wintergreen barberry
scottish rose
sea holly
buffaloberry
dwarf chinese holly
pyracanthas
devil’s walkingstick
leatherleaf mahonias(I have the variety called grape holly. I love it’s look and it will spike you)[/quote]
cactus.

I dont know, the dog may of got himself into the oven, climbed up on the stove, looking for goodies. then it bumps a knob and turns it on. climbs down opens it up and dives in. Ok that last bit is a stretch, but i left some chicken in the oven to cool and hide it from my dog, and he opened the oven and ate it all while we were away. The bastard lol.
So, billy badass, when you are playing with his cuddly 150 pound rot and jimmy crackcorn comes in and shoots your head off with the 12 guage, would you file that in the win column?
Beagles are notorious barkers, regardless of if there are intruders or not. I suppose you aren’t going to dump it, so my suggestion is that next time get a hunting dog that knows when to be quiet and when to bark.
If your gf is a hunter, by all means get a shotgun, but a handgun only makes sense if you believe that an intruder would be so determined (or more appropriately, dumb) that he ignores or kills the dog, and then, expecting you to be awake, decides to
engage in the Shootout at OK Corral.
The basic rule of home protection is that your house should be less attractive than your neighbours. Deflect, don’t confront.

LOL @ “killed many a dog”.
You are either a serial killer, a dog catcher gone insane, or lying your fucking ass off.
Either way, thanks for the entertainment!
