i'm just wondering.
GSDs are supposed to be a protective breed.
but a lot of the time, dogs acting 'protective' are taking decisions into their own hands rather than defering that to their people.
where is the line? i'm talking in non-PPD dogs, obviously.
i'm just curious, b/c sometimes it seems like the behaviour is expected/accepted b/c of the breed, and sometimes not. to me it at times seems to be a matter of perspective and expectations rather than something objective. maybe i'm wrong.
just wondering what the thoughts of others is on this.
