[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you are willing to put in the time and training with your pup; if you are going to socialize your dog responsibly (good puppy training class) and make an effort to get your dog to behave around other people....which you have to do with ANY dog...then why not get a GSD.

My own GSD is a sweetheart and a snuggler.  She's protective of our family and if someone comes into our yard we know it! But she has been an easy dog in my opinion.

Our Golden has been a wonderful dog in so many ways - LOVES everyone, never aggressive towards other dogs.  But, she also went through a real chewing phase that lasted for years.  She has also been terrible about swiping food off the counter and the dining room table.  She's figured out that there is a limit to how much trouble she'll get into so why not go for it, lol.

I'm, honestly, a terrible trainer but I do love my dogs and I am patient and consistent with them.  I don't leave them alone for long stretches, I have them on a regular schedule where they know what to expect.  That really is, in my opinion, the most important thing.  [/quote]+1[/quote]
