Do you really want your dog attacking burglars? What John says has a lot of merit. Simply barking and raising a ruckus will send most fleeing, and let you know there is something going on long before its fighting ability is tested. Just get a dog you like and that will play with the kids. Make it a part of the family and have fun.
I'm a retriever man myself. I have had a string of Black Labs, and now Golden Retrievers, since I was young. I raised both of my boys, now 18 and 15, with a lab when they were little and the golden by the time they were about ten. Great dogs for kids (as would be either of your choices) but never chosen for their prowess as guard dogs. Most dogs will moonlight as one in a pinch. So don't worry about it.
