Look at this BS about German Shepherds!

Crabtree · 02-06-2009, 03:09 AM

Was surfing around and came across this site. What the heck?

Quote:

"German Shepherds with their wolf-like appearance are seen in may places as guard dogs or as police or military dogs.

Their facility in these roles makes them less than ideal for a family pet, especially with young children or the elderly."

I don't know about you guys but my gang love kids! It's no wonder people in general are afraid of GSD's.

Same here, my dogs love kids!

I noticed that there does not seem to be a way to contact the owners or administrators of that website. I did a WhoIs, so if you guys want to let them know how you feel about the "quality" (or lack thereof) of information on their page, that would be the way to do it.

Thats such a stupid and uninformed statement!!

My shepherds also love children. When my parents moved down here their boys had very limited exposure to children and they took to the kids like crazy. In fact one of their shepherds is a velcro dog to my youngest whenever we are over.

Also since I have had GSD's I have always worked in either long term care for the elderly or now a rehab facility for the elderly and frequently take my dogs in for visits I have never had an issue with my dogs not liking the elderly. My male gets especially gentle when around the older folks and lays his head on their laps or gently licks their hands,

The writer of that statement doesn't know GSD's at all.

Eh, maybe if someone is fool enough to believe that they wouldn't make a good GSD owner?

Morgan was a 2 year old terrorist - then James was born and a switch went off in her head 'This is my purpose'. She is beyond in love with my children

Max would rather adults leave him alone, he could care less about them but when a child comes in the picture he he a fool for them. He wont let anything happen to my grandbaby. Dad walks a fine line around him (he tried to spank him once and Max took him by the arm and held him there).
