Um, my boy alerts me when someone farts three houses over. No, seriously, he is the BEST at alerting us when something is up.
The pizza man was scared to death b/c of his bark. I never tell people, "Oh he's really friendly". Not when they are coming to my house. I want strangers to remember that big GSD lives in that house! A meter reader from six years ago still remembers our late GSD and asked me about him while I was at a store. I didn't have a clue who she was, but she remembered the day we were in the backyard when she came to read our meter!
If someone came into our house while we were sleeping or not at home, I have no doubt that Hans would bite. He might even rip an arm off.
But, I have no problem having him around my children and other kids. He is as gentle as a lamb with them. I always supervise, but I swear I think he can read my mind. I love my boy!
