jakk 6 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I own a GS bred from DDR lines from a straight-backed uk female and an imported male. She's a joy to be honest, I was a little worried she wasn't sharp enough as we bought her to look after our property. She's as soft as anything with the family, she's really gentle and sedate with my nine month old daughter despite the fact that normally she's a bit of a boisterious goon but we had someone lurking around the property six months ago and she turned into a different dog and without doubt she would go to war with little provocation in that situation. I think temperament is a difficult thing to judge, all being well I hope I never need her to step into action however if the occasion should arise I know she will do her duty but for everyday life, from when she was eight weeks old until she passes she's part of the family too and so I couldn't have something like a Malinois here. It wouldn't be stimulated enough or have enough to do which means in my opinion it wouldn't segue into family life like our GS has, Jakk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,809 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Good luck on your quest, my shepherd was bred from a Czech police dog, the dam was a big bitch, both easy going,... Maybe I was just unlucky and got the retard of the litter, lol... I got his nuts off at 6 years old to see would he settle, 6 months later I took him for his last walk in the woods, everyone in our family gave a sigh of relief when he was gone... I was looking for exactly what you are, after a lot of money was wasted on buying him, getting him neutered, I still ended up with a walking neurotic pain in the hole..... Hope you find the perfect dog for your family 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmad riley 1,337 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 The wife’s mum had a GSD was the most loyal dog around family My lad fall asleep with him but He would attack any body who would just walk in the house or come up the garden path. he had never been shown to do any thing like that. In the end he was put to sleep after attacking a JW who knocked on the door Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She was a good size for a herder almost 24tts she was very ball driven. I had 2 young children at the time and she fitted in a treat. She guarded well and was a joy to be around on the whole. Have a read up on internet about them. I've only had a small amount to do with them. I brought in as a adult from a sucurity dog handling firm. She didn't cut the mustard for them for some reason. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a relief in the end when you can relax 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
