Every dog is different. While some breeds are certainly more prone to being protective than others, no breed of dog has members that are universally going to be protective. I have seen little tiny poodles that offer better protection than some German Shepherds, and the other way around as well. Training a dog to be an effective guard dog takes just that, a considerable amount of training and the correct about of exposure. German Shepherds are certainly considered one of the most common dogs used for this purpose.
