We owned a VERY large male German Shepherd and a Rot.....

The Rot was a baby....he was terrified of the two teacup Shih Tzu's we also have....just a lovable big dog...

The Shepherd was the most agressive dog I've ever seen. With the family he was great but would not socialize with other dogs or people. He had to be put away within a double fenced area 6' ft. in my back yard whenever anyone would come over the house.

Distrustful of strangers is a natural trait for Shepherds but this dog took it to a new level. He died this past year at 5 1/2 years old due to his large size (142 lbs and could put his paws on my shoulders, I'm 6' and look me directly in the eyes).

I understand the worst biters are Standard Poodles. Otherwise wonderful dogs
My daughters Toy Poodle is a small terror, which I can uunderstand because he is an unneteured lttle guy in a big, bad world.

I think I met your dearly departed shep last night. I took my pups to the vet and a mountain man walked in with a dog that looked like a cross between a German Shep and a grizzly bear.

I was raised with Sheps and I have never seen one this size before. The dog had to weigh 150-160 lbs. It's head was huge. It looked like the "big bad wolf" of the fairly tales.

Some lady had a squirmy toddler in there. Kid stayed on her lap for a good part of the wait but the kid ringtailed till gmom put it down. The kid was parading in front of this critter. I thought "There's lunch"
