and I overhear the Nutro coupon lady telling a woman with a new WGSD she rescued to be sure to be careful around the dog because German Shepherds are NOTORIOUS for turning on their owners. The woman looked mortified and shocked, I immediately walked up to them and very LOUDLY so anyone who could have possibly heard the bullshit could hear me loud and clear, I asked the Nutro rep just what idiot told her that fact? I told her I have had German Shepherds for over 40 years and have had them with small dogs ( my Cairn and JRT were in my shopping cart) cats, rabbits, horses, numerous family and friends children, on riding trails, in company of vets, shoers, delivery men and just about every race and creed of person on earth, I said I have NEVER, nor EVER known anyone with a German Shepherd who was attacked by them and in fact would believe they would be the very LAST dogs on earth to do this, including the two little monsters in my cart, I said it was extremely irresponsible to state such a fraudulent accusation with no facts to back it up. I than turned to the lady with the dog, a very sweet young male who wagged his tale and licked my hand when I approached him, I told her that a German Shepherd needs to be socialized more than most dogs and not because they are going to attack her, but rather because that dog will defend you with every last breath in his body, he needs to be shown that people are not a threat to either you or him and it will help to make him a well adjusted secure dog, I than said to the Nutro lady before I left , that the fact of the matter is there is NO BREED of dog that has served mankind in more capacities, and with more loyalty than the German Shepherd, it is an absolute honour to love and be loved by one!!!!
