let me say this first, i have a feeling that there are gonna be a lot of opinions on this one and was rather hesitent to post but i wanted to know what u guys/gals had to say.
i understand that an 8 month old GSD (my boy is 8 months) is not considered "protective" at this point but i am starting to notice some aloofness about him (which is natural in the GSD). ill also add that he has good nerves has been bread through a generation of good nerves so i think i can count out haveing a bad nerved dog.
so if it came down to it, what would a PPD do vs a dog that has not been trained even though they have the instinct to protect his/her owner? i know that a PPD is trained with a lot of socializeation with all sorts of conflicts but would the instinct of the GSD keep telling him/her to stay in the fight?? (this is all curiosity, plz dont think i would take my dog to a gun battle..etc) thanks
