Exactly because of that: remote and small country (Costa Rica is one idea so far), we would prefer a sea-side house which is NOT very close to a city (we think 20-30km away from a city is optimal) and we have no clue about police response time -- but I can't imagine they'll be there 2 minutes after I make a panicked call that I am tracking 3 armed burglars, especially if not in a city.

Very possible. Right now I don't even have the money for a down-payment, but me and my wife both share this dream and started brainstorming it and doing some preliminary planning.

Above all, I really want the dogs to not be able to be bribed with food. Not a fan of dogs that bark at every single small disturbance but oh well, if that's the price you pay for living in a remote area and having good security then okay.

Oh, I was imagining remote rural in the US or a similar country (Canada, Scandinavia, etc). I have absolutely no idea what public safety concerns might exist in less developed places.

It's more that a solid looking fence, a few dogs, and some visible security cameras are highly likely to deter any attempts in the first place. If someone is armed and willing to shoot your dogs then you have much larger problems to deal with (and probably don't want to be living there to begin with).
