What breed of dog is good as a guard dog/ sweet and kind family dog. ?

I was thinking a German Shepard or a husky. My mom says golden retrievers are too kind and will just lick the burglar. I had a golden before And she died recently :( but she was A coward and was scared of everything. And we just moved into a higher crime area so we need the extra protection to go with our guns and I also miss having a big lovable lug like my golden. The dog must be a large breed of dog that can bite the c$&# out of a burglar and be sweet and kind when it's all over
