I
own my dogs, and they are spoiled rotten. *Edit: Actually, they are not spoiled rotten. They deserve everything I give them, and then some, just by being the dogs they are.

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.

Yup. "TSB Pronounced" is noted on the breed survey and in Schutzhund trials for a reason.
