When I think of a German Shepherd, I think of a protector of its family,
sheep whatever his job is, I also believe that the ideal German Shepherd dog
should be smart enough to know when there is a danger and to react to that and
at the same time be trust worthy around children etc. I have had that and I
have had some far from that. I don't believe we should breed Golden Retriever
temperaments and change the standard because of the pet people population
that we sell to. I think we should breed for the true Shepherd temperament
and intelligence which would end up being a protector and a family dog. Why
change what we breed ,to whatever it takes to win in the show ring or because
we want Golden temperaments for the pet people, I was a pet person and what I
loved about German Shepherds is their "look of eagles" and protector instinct
towards their family. My best dogs were the ones that could be in a yard
full of kids and would protect those kids if danger presented itself r
egardless if they were family members or not. One thing I will not tolerate
is a dog who is not child friendly. Change the temperament standard or just
be more conscientious in breeding to achieve the temperament standard? After
all that "look of eagles" comes from the aloof temperament and watchful eye
of the protector.
