That is so true. There were quite a few break-ins across the street and further down where I live. But there were none - zero, zilch - in my or my neighbors houses. Believe me, they don't mind a little barking because they know that they are protected as well by my kids who are free to go in and outside the home except at night when I keep them indoors. No worries here. It's a good feeling.

Guns go off and you stand a 50% chance of being shot. He said and I quote " The only difference between a dog and a gun, you don't have to cock the dog". I got my first GSD the next day, a Yoncalla's Mike Granddaughter. The rest is history.
