[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I understand. My neighbor rescues German Shepards. They are all vicious dogs. They will attack you in a minute. It was a particular real PITA when my kids were small and we couldn’t use the yard because the dogs got out snd attacked people pretty regularly. As for sending my kids over there. No way. [/quote]

I’m the PP who breeds and trains GSDs. Your point is actually dead on.  You knew these rescue dogs were dangerous.  GSDs without early training and socialization often are, sadly.   They show you that right away.  You don’t hear “he was the sweetest dog ever and then suddenly attacked….”.  That’s the problem with Pit Bull type breeds.  They are unpredictable because they aren’t bred for balance or temperament.  Most dogs raised in a home with love, boundaries, and socialization remain balanced and predictable.  No surprises.  A pit pull type puppy can be given the perfect start in life and still attack.  It’s literally what they are bred for.

I love GSDs but wouldn’t adopt a rescue if I had or lived near young children.  Your concern was totally valid.  They are large dogs that can do a lot of damage. [/quote]
