You are absolutely right, this is not good behavior for a large or for a small dog. I've had to work very hard with my female minpin to make her understand that not all strangers that come to the house are the bad aliens from Mars or something. Ok to bark and let us know, Ok to not want to be touched/petted by strangers, NOT OK to try to attack the new people. My male barks and then gives a visitor the benefit of the doubt, he's a lot more friendly.
Although, I will say this, there's no way in hell I could stop my female from trying to bite any stanger that came into our (fenced in) yard uninvited,touching or holding onto, one of HER KIDS. All our grandkids are HER KIDS. She doesn't try to defend them from us or anything like that, but I don't think any stranger messing with one of HER KIDS would be safe from attempted ankle bites.
Don't know if that would be a completely bad thing, actually.
