That's why I have always been big on German Shepard's. Very seldom you hear about a German Shepard going stupid.

Gentle as a lamb, yet smart enough to know real trouble when it sees it....Actually, my 110 pound German Shepard is probably smarter than 25 percent of the human population.....And more trustworthy than 99.999 percent of them...

You can trust a German Shepherd, their behavior is honest. They don't pretend to be nice and then flip out! (more wise words from another vet - after my rottie bit me)

Same here - our German Shepherd Dog is 98 lbs. She is very intelligent and well trained and she will no doubt let me know if there is trouble around. She is so gentle and so loving that it is unbelievable. Nice to have a good dog who also is protective but gentle with everyone. Nice also to have a dog that will let me know when it is time to get my gun out :) Julie
