We recently adopted a Groenendael (one of the breeds of Belgian Shephard). 65 pounds, medium coat, deep throaty bark. They are hearding dogs, similar background to the German Shephard and not so popular so as to avoid in-breeding.
She gives a one or two bark notice if someone is near the house, before they even touch the door or we hear anything. Other Malinois and Groenendael I've been around in the past (few) have been the same. Very loving to the family and stand-offish to strangers. We don't know if she'll bite/defend but her hackles raise and she stands out when someone gets close to my wife!!! Nice little all black doggie with white teeth that chomp through cow thigh bones in less than five minutes...
I'm more for an animal that will be part of the family and defend as a second choice. What about terriers? Our old one was vicious (read as aggressively protective with sound effects and spittle!!!) when my wife was threatened once.

I don't take scalps. I'm civilized like white man now, I shoot man in back.
