I don't raise our own dogs to "honey up" and schmooze anyone , I expect a puppy to allow contact, but I don't expect it be all "oooey gooey" with its greeting to people . That is just me however, as I prefer a more independent, tough dog. I DO however, expect an adult dog to absolutely compliant and soft with children, and if I ask to go with me through the Gates of Hell and protect me and mine to the complete sacrifice of himself, if needed. So far, I have never been disappointed. Kathy _Victory German Shepherds_ (http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com/index.htm) ~ WEBSITE UPDATED: MAY 27, 2006 Home of CH.
