After a lifetime of having dogs together in every circumstance, with nothing more than a growl or two, I got GSDs and a whole new education about bitches. Love them, but they are a breed of their own. Stormy I agree! I wish I could have all males! They are the gentlest. I've never had a problem with a male.
