Generally speaking, a BC makes a good alarm but is less likely to "guard."--
An Aussie (Australian Shepherd) is more likely to "own" your house, and thus
guard it. A Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) WILL guard your house. Of
course, there are exceptions in each breed.
A "socialized" Aussie will easily revert to type. They have a strong sense of possession. If they are "your" dog, then what is your's is theirs and they'll guard it.
