Thank you Penny! Poor temperament is one of the primary reasons people
surrender dogs to shelters. When you have a dog with the strength and brain
power of a GSD, you do NOT need him to have an unstable temperament to boot! If
I were to choose between temperament and movement, I would take a sound,
confident dog with less sidegait ANY day.
