New Dog!!!!!!
So this is a really exciting day for me. I just found out that my parents are in the process of finding a new dog for our family!! We're going to get a German Shepherd male puppy, which is the best news ever. I've grown up having a German Shepherd around my whole life, and the past couple of years that we haven't had one have been a little empty.
The only thing I'm a little cautious about is that he's going to be sold to us as a 2-year-old trained guard dog. This means that if anyone in the family gives the command, he will be alert and ready to attack, if another command is given. From what I understand, the dogs are trained extremely well and will attack ONLY on command (which I would hope so, considering the hefty price tag attached).
This whole decision to get a guard dog comes in the wake of my parents' decision to move from Kentucky to Yankee territory. Though I doubt there are many people to fear in Connecticut, it's still the NORTH to my mom, who is born and raised a Southerner. Have any of you had experiences with dogs of this sort and know if they really make good family pets?
