Blackmag 6,103 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm after a pup but I'm wanting something more with a good temperament in mind as I have grand kids I don't need some attack dog or pp dog just something that barks and will protect the family and of good lines health wise but temperament is a must as there's no second chances here I rung one today he was telling me about his dog and how he would bite anyone even him when I told him I would knock it he put the phone down do any of you lads recommend any were travel or cost not important it's for my lad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C.green 3,231 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Mate please dont take it the wrong way but most healthy gsd are of a working type. Its not gonna be aggressive/defensive if u treat it right but they can be a f***ing pain in the arse if they aint worked. Theres a man i know has pups out of some very well tested gsd but its a lottery choosing one Edited May 16, 2020 by C.green 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 The only thing that would put me off a GSD is the hip and spine problems as they get older. Walshies dog looks good and, sounds good from his posts - maybe look along those lines and give him a shout. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C.green 3,231 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I tend to think mate if you after a dog for grand children and you aint comfident at reading knowing a dog and why it reacts and what to prob best off with sommat else ? I love them knvp style mals that look like they carry bull. But i aint into all that standing around on a sunday to give a dog a couple bites ya know so i dont bother with them types a dogs as it would just go divvy. Think some them working gsd the same they bred to be out patrolling and working can be snappy round a ball and that.think if your worried why take a risk. A little poodle or cocker thing couldnt really ask for better could ya for children Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,809 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 How much are you wanting to pay for a dog, there's plenty of biggish breeds out there that will bark and be OK with kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
