Looking for a GSD dog for family protection

[FLYWOLF]

I live in Texas, I would rather an adult already protection and obedience trained dog. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Do you need a protection dog or an alert dog? There is a difference between the two.

There is a dog in Texas who is very protective of his family, and they didn't like it so they put him into a kill shelter. He has until tomorrow before he is euthanized for being loyal to his family-here is the link to him-the fifth dog. Please consider him if you are looking for a "protection" adult dog.

He's beautiful, but it sounds like he has some serious issues. Barks and growls at their kids' friends, aggression towards other dogs, barks and growls at family members who try to hug his family.

He is very protective of his family but the shelter says that they have no problems with him and that he is one of their favorites. It could be that the family is exaggerating because they no longer want him-people can be like that. My GSD displays many of these behaviors but he would never harm our family or our kids-he loves our kids, just not other peoples. Protection? yes, this dog as well as ours offer a great deal of protection to THEIR family. I don't have to worry about my child getting stolen while she is under my GSD's watch and the OP said they want protection so I suggested this dog as from the description of this dog-he loves HIS family to death and wants to keep them safe.

Resource guarding is not protection.

His family yes..not necessarily a new family..you say your dog loves your kids not other peoples..to this dog, the op's kids could be other people's kids..I wouldn't want to take that chance. Assuming that the original family exaggerated the dangers is also a chance I would not want to take with my children. Better safe than sorry..
