Ok, here we go again....... Talking to a friend today. She has a gorgeous GSD. Find out a handler is saying this GSD has "soft" temperament, because the dog is not friendly. Not aggressive, just not friendly. WTH???? GSD are not meant to be Golden Retrievers. I don't think is correct for your dog to be jumping all over me, or going nuts over me like I have been feeding him/her bacon. Dont ask a handler if "so or so" dog has a good temperament, especially if such handler has never even handled that dog. Go see the dog yourself. Just saying....<G> * Ileana * ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
