Best dog breed for detering snakes??

Gday,

My family and i purchased a house that backs onto bushland. According to the neighbours we would see one or two black snakes each year during summer…. Whilst i have no concern for myself i don't want my children walking around without noticing and stepping on a friend….

We are considering purchasing a pup simply because we want a dog, however if i can find a breed that barks like crazy when they see a snake that would be fantastic…. Please don't get me wrong, the last thing i want is for our dog to be bitten by a snake,, however if we are going to get a dog anyways it would be great to have one that alerts us to this danger...

I have been told jack russells are good but I'm not a fan of this breed, any other suggestions.

thanks,
