Listers, this last sentence by Debbie is so so so so true for our wonderful dogs. After living with so many since 1964 when my sons & husband gave me one of the most wonderful Birthday gifts --- a real registered, pedigreed, German Shepherd Dog sired by our wonderful Ann Mesdag's neat dog at the time. I was HOOKED! That dog, IMHO, raised my two sons in a way no other could and both became doctors and their offspring are all very "compassionate people" NEVER underestimate these great 4 legged kids.

I had a zero to one scoring GSD in the temperment test. He was my very first, he didn't even look when the gun went off and when the weird stranger came out he wagged his tail. Azzie was very good at reading people beyond what they were trying to portrait. I had him for 11 great years and only heard him growl once and deep bellow twice. I have no doubt about these guys instincts, push come to shove they will be there for you.
