Our breed is wonderful, I wouldn't have anything else, but the truth is most people are not dog-wise enough to deal with a large dog with issues. Ideally a GSD will not have temperament issues, but we all know better. Yes, there may be "reasons" for this dog to do what it did. But there is no excuse. Sad.
