You have an awesome looking dog (family too), with a great smile. I love the look of the breed, but I’m not convinced that I could handle one anymore.

I have a 2 year old GSD. He is good natured, complies with my commands very well and responds well to leash corrections. However, in some circumstances he wears a shock-collar as an emergency brake. LOL

Falco has become protective to the extreme.... on only one occasion. I was alone, in the dark, at a “community” campfire while camping on the Oregon coast. 4 creeps approach me. They looked like scum, baggy pants, prison walk, etc. At about 20’ he came unglued. Had I let him off lease, I am sure he would have attacked. I told those guys not to get any closer. Fortunately, these asshats recognized the threat and walked away, quickly.

I am with my dog 24/7 and unless we have him out running, he is seldom more than 20’ from me (I’m retired). I have health issues and he seems to know it. We are best friends and if anyone shot my dog, their life would change in a most significant way...

Again, that is a very good looking breed that you have.
