That does happen. Some dogs are more naturally protective of their territory then others regardless of breeds.
We had a Doxie that would bite anyone who wasn't family who walked through the door. Now, if she was put in a bedroom and came out and you were inside, you were fine, but you could not walk through the door.
A collie/golden lab that we had would climb an 8 foot fence, jump two three foot fences, run around the corner, and sit in the front yard and scare people across the street. She never bit anyone, but you couldn't pass in front of her house.
The lab (she looks more like a lab than a collie) we have now, as soon as she figured out she was with us to stay, and we weren't going to beat her (she was a rescue), she became very protective. She has the most ferocious bark I've ever heard in a lab, but that is all it is. She'd lick you to death before she'd bite.
Breed have characteristics, but those are just generalities.
