I think I've said it before, I am not a big fan of Chessies.

With that said, Nitro, my yellow lab, growls at people outside the window, but he has met plenty of my clients in the house, and while nervous at first, he has never growled at them or bitten anyone. He does growl when he is surprised. My uncle came down the steps at my parents place and Nitro was growling pretty good because he didn't know who it was and I had greeted my uncle or come down with him. As long as I great somebody in front of Nitro or enter the room with the person, Nitro is usually pretty good about it. I kind of like the fact that he is trying to be protective.
