Yeah alarms are worth it. The house i just bought im putting one in. Aside the Bushmaster in the closet, dogs are nice. My mom as 13 dogs and 3 are bloodhounds, their bark alone will wake you up if someone is near the house that shouldnt be. also Labs are awesome home protection, I had one when i was a kid and we had a attept at a break in and buster tore his index finger and pinky off. But he was a sweet dog to everyone he just knew where people cross the line and when to put them in check. Pitbulls are ok dogs but they can snap for no reason. I had a friend that had one and it was rotten we thought and one day he was sitting on the chair and the dog sat and looked at him and he got up and it attacked him, pretty bad too. Labs and Bloodhounds are the way to go IMO.Matt
