BINGO ! Well said, Ginger.

Guess it no longer matters because tomorrow is essentially over.

One thing I would like to say about aggression in my "pack", I GET THE
WINNER.....He / She then has to deal with me.

NO DOG IS 100% COMPATIBLE WITH ANOTHER DOG !!!!!

Such a rush to judgement. Perhaps it would be nice if the poor dog was first
evaluated by someone that KNEW what they were doing - not some pet owner
that no doubt caused the problem in the first place. 
I'd go get him myself but it is out of my area. 

Almost ALL German Shepherds have the potential to be "animal" aggressive. It
is going to depend on the owner, and how they are raised. I have more than
one here that would kill a cat if it was stupid enough to get in their yard.
They would leave it alone if I were out there and told them to. I don't
consider that a temperament flaw. Sorry, but keep your damn cat in the house
if you don't want any harm to come to it. I "have" a cat that hangs out
around the house. She has since I moved in here. She is smart enough to stay
out of the fenced area. 

Diedre and Storm went after a coyote the other day (they thankfully came
back when I hollered)... I sure as hell would not consider that a
temperament flaw. 

Storm and Vlad, both being intact males, WOULD fight - especially if one of
the girls is in season. I don't consider that a temperament flaw. 

I just think this poor dog deserves the benefit of the doubt before rushing
to judgement. Especially since I know how many dogs are the way they are
because the average pet owner has no clue. There IS A REASON we all tell
people that German Shepherds are NOT the breed for everyone. And they
shouldn't be. They aren't Golden Retrievers.
