I don't think it is the animal at question, it is the mentality, the paradigm, of the owner that is at issue.
I also think there is a parallel that could be drawn here, in regards to wolfdog owners and the "pit bull/rottie" owners...you know the ones that drive the common danger perception, rather than folks thinking of Petie from the Little Rascals.
I am suggessting the psychological facet of a person's personality that makes them want to posess such an animal.......would statistically have some common characteristics.
Imagine a social environment where wolfdogs become so popular within a demographic!! Wolfdogs statistically become a dog bite problem, and common perception associates GSDs as part of the issue? We would be facing the same thing the aficionado of Staffordshire Terriers is facing with "pittbulls". Imagine that???
I think hybridizing is completely innappropriate. I have bred parrots for over 30 years, and during the 1970s hybridizing became quite a fad, especially with Macaws....it simply is a sin in my opinion.
If you need to compensate for your inadequacies as a man, do what I do, raise a nice GSD and train in SchH!
