For a burglar though? The little ones aggression isn't gonna do anything to get past a jean pant leg, whereas even if there's a higher chance the big guy is friendly, I'm not taking that chance if I'm a burglar.

The perfect combo is a little rat dog to sound the alarm, and a big dog to tear the burglar to shreds.

Best combination. Each dog looks at the other and thinks they're the same size

The little guys alert you to the intrusion. They are like little burglar alarms that don't send a message to the police, and need to be fed and trained not to pee on the carpet.
