When I was in the 6th grade my very first puppy was a German Shepherd that we didn't know had "mean" bloodlines. He tore the crap outta a lot of folks, but was always loving and gentle with me. We had to give him to the USAF. Even doped up and glassy-eyed, when I went with him to the airport, he ripped open the pants leg of a careless baggage handler that pressed his legs against the cage door. Still, I loved that dog. We were later notified by the USAF that he'd been "put down" because of hip dysplasia, which is fairly common in German Shepherds. I haven't thought of him until just now, reading this thread.

At least I know my German Shepherd would not have left Vietnam after three minor injuries. She certainly would not have turned on her friends either.

Gotta get off this computer and rub ol' Alex's ears -- 10 year old black and tan Shepherd who has had degenerative joint disease from an early age. Gotta love a dog who just refuses to feel pain and STILL thinks he's a pupppy whenever he sees a ball.
