Since it is very easy to incorrectly train a guard dog and wind up with an aggressive dog that attacks family and visitors, resulting in lawsuits, guard dogs should only be trained by professionals.

Training "protection dogs" is for highly trained professionals only, it's not something an ordinary person can do safely. There's a reason why Dog Training books only tell you how to train your dog to sit, come, stay, etc. If you trained your dog to attack, and he hurt someone--burglar or not--you would be in serious trouble. He would be much more likely to attack the paper boy, mailman, or a Girl Scout. All those people are much more likely to come into your property than a burglar--how would the dog know who is who? It's not like burglars look or smell different from other people.

What is the best dog breed for protecting your property and children against neighborhood criminals i need a serious guard dog anyone know?
Probably the best guard dog is a Doberman Pinscher. They are very alert and active, and they are loyal to you as long as you train them well. They will do just fine with kids, but that is if it grows up with them . Children also need to be trained to respect the dog, because it is annoying and very painful to have one's tail pulled by a unrespectful child. Dobermans will not even tolerate it at all. If you manage to train it succesfully, then it would make a great guard dog and a companion as well.
You are wanting to get a guard dog for your property and you cant decide between a Doberman pinscher or a German Shepherd which would be more sufficient?
Well, it's hard to choose because some German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers can be friendly and not attack thieves. You must get the dog when its young so you can teach it, but if you get a dog that is older than a year, it is much harder to train it because it won't listen to you anymore. So get a young dog and train it. But if you want a dog to learn how to guard real fast, then get a German Shepherd because they are smarter.
