Someday I'll probably live up in the mountains with plenty of space, then I may do what I've always wanted to...get a wolf hybrid. But not here in the 'burbs.
I totally understand you! When I got my first Belgian female puppy, my small animal vet just about stroked, and was scared to death of this li'l lovable bundle of friendly fur.
I figured out it was time to get a "farm vet". Some people just do not understand the these are happy and affectionate dogs, but just not keen to treat every stranger like a best friend, which is why we want them as our own best friends and protectors.
We moved, by the way, because our "neighbors" thought that anything other than a laid-back do nothing lab was "dangerous". What they didn't quite get, I didn't want to even bother to explain.
You can't have a dog that doesn't disciminate between "friend" and "stranger", and still have a good family loving protection dog. They think in black and white. We have the ability to control them for grey, most of the time. But, when unexpected grey stuff happens, we can't dump on them for not being able to make such fine distinctions...
better safe than sorry, and I didn't wan't to live near people who couldn't think that through, so we moved!
