No. That's what he was bred to do, and what I would argue any correct shepherd SHOULD do.
Dogs who will not or cannot defend their owners are not bad dogs.But they are not what I consider to be true-to-form GSDs.

Well said! I would also protect my dog from situations that would place him at risk BUT I also expect him to protect me in other situations (already has in one case!). Expect no less from a normal GSD>
