Do Labradors Guard?

I've always read that Labradors can't guard (not in their nature) but will be an acceptable watch dog.
Well, since Cocoa turned 4 + months he has changed from carefree, friendly puppy to very serious and aggressive dog (only with strangers).
He is AWESOME with me, DH and our 5 kids. But, he protects the house deadly with raised hair, growling and barking and does the same with anyone he doesn't know.
If he were another breed I wouldn't think twice about it, but he's a Lab!!
Will socializing more help or is he just being protective?
Thanks,
Stacey
