Ok a few weeks ago I posted about what dog I should get. Well after careful deliberation and having to wait till they could let them go. Here is my decision.

german shepard, Good choice! :smile: but watch , they can be a bit unpredictable. I grown up while we had a german shepard. Smart dog but sometimes you will wonder just what the hell is going on in his head.

I love GSDs, and Atlantis is right - you'll spend some time trying to out-think your dog. I have a shepherd/husky mix, and sometimes I wonder if he isn't smarter than I am!

I know it was hard but in the end the pit cost to much.

Very protective. We had a German Shepherd in the neighborhood I grew up in. Elderly couple. Most of the kids thought the dog was mean. He was always really friendly to me. Part of it is all in how you approach and interact with them. People who have problems usually don't have any idea how to interact with the various working breeds in the 'guard' catagory. Or else I'm just that good with dogs.

Couple things;

I would seriously consider buying a pet healthcare policy. Shepards can chew terribly and the things they chew can really turn into some major vet bills. Also if they have hip problems it can be big bucks. They are not much good for fighting dogs compared to other breeds but they are still popular and a theft risk. I would recommend having the dog "chipped" if you haven't already. Enjoy your new pet. Much happiness.

I've done research into this. I admit it was a few years ago. But for the most part, people who purchase these pet health policies end up paying more per year than if they just paid the normal vet bills for the same vet visits. I'm not talking the normal yearly stuff. I'm talking about the emergency trips, the out of the ordinary stuff.

So really compare your possible costs before buying it.

The chip suggestion is really good.
