 Just done a quick google search and according to wiki the GSD is the second most popular dog to have with children (the first being the lab) and I can really see why! My mum's rott/GSD is beautiful but she looks completely different from yours. My mum rescued her at 1.. this is an older pic, think she was about 3 here (she's now 10 or 11 I forget which one) Any dog will be a guard dog so no worries there though I have to tell you my GSD is USELESS at guarding. She's doesn't bark and is super friendly so she'll let anyone in | ||

She is pretty! Not as big as I would have expected though. I think Diesel is going to be a giant. At least compared to my pom.  Well I have to say my mini pom couldn't be a guard dog though.  She is the friendliest dog I've ever seen. She has even jumped in neighbors cars when they were getting ready to leave because she wanted to go for a ride.  Thank god they were humorous about it and didn't get mad.

We talked about getting a lab but DH had one that did nothing but chew up everything in sight so that was quickly vetoed.  |

You don't need a big dog to deterr most intruders, a bark is usually sufficient  That's where a lot of people make the mistake when getting a lab. They don't realise that puppyhood and adolescence with a lab is for the most part HARD WORK! They are bonkers! My GSD had her own fair share of moments but she's much calmer than any lab. My mastiff though... well she ate part of a wall so yeah, that should tell you something  |

My kitchen always looks like it's got a small river in it though Shar peis are lovely... definitely not my sort of dog though, too high maintenance. | |

Agreed about shar peis. They are so nice to look at though. When I see one I get a twinge of envy but know it's not a realistic dog to have. And when they are puppies they are SO cute. I just want to squeeze them all. But than again most puppies are cute. We kinda took over this thread.  We should start a pet/animal group chat thread! Than we can talk about all kinds of things. |
