Sometimes it is easier said than done. Case in point: A lady who
helps out from time to time in our kennel, and who loves GSD's, is
married to a former Marine who fought in Desert Storm. He isn't
afraid of much, but he is terrified of German Shepherds, because of a
bad experience with one when he was a boy. Obviously, we don't have
any bad-tempered or vicious dogs in our kennel, but he is frightened
even of the puppies.
Something similar happened with a potential buyer 2 summers ago; the
husband was so afraid of GSD's that he wouldn't get near the
6-week-old puppies. I advised her to get a different breed, and they
bought a Weimaraner.
Some people just have this mind-set about our Breed, and nothing is
going to change them.
