@neumank9academy violent was the wrong word to use. i should have said the strongest such as pits, rotties, etc…those kind of dogs will also give their life for you. that’s all i was saying.

@wonderandwhisper A stable tempermented, confident, and well trained German Shepherd is far from a violent dog. The dog in the video (Manny) has earned the Canine Good Citizen, TDI (Therapy dog), and Schutzhund AD.

@snowblind1985 The winter photos were taken around the same time as the video. The couple of other random shots were taken a 6 months and 18 months (approximate) before the video. Manny is still alive and well, he loves to swim, track, and be with the family.

Im a proud owner of a German Shepherd. These dogs will take a bullet for you and fight to the death. Other dogs will just hide behind you. German shepherds are so nice and kind. I can’t wait till we get another GSD.

@CookiezxX A great way to train dogs to do this without developing aggression is to cultivate a very strong play drive. By making an “assailant’s” arm the dog’s favourite toy (and only available on command) you can teach the dog to hold and subdue a person while keeping it under control. Many police dogs are trained this way.
As Newmank9academy says though, the dog must have the correct temperament and drive in the first place for this type of work.

hey. im thinking about getting a german shepherd. im 17 and turning 18 next year. i have a massive acreage but no fences. will i require a fence? (hope this isnt a stupid question) also, are they difficult to train (i have never had a dog since parents have told me i need to be older to be responsible in the last few years). and also for them to be protective, do they need to be trained properly?
thanks:)

September 5th, 2010 at 6:51 am
what an awesome dog!
September 5th, 2010 at 7:06 am
how did you train that dog to do that type of stuff or is it natrual?
September 5th, 2010 at 7:41 am
@287cc German Shepards are great dogs. There are other dogs like border collies,mastiff,bull dog that are also very protective and smart or even smarter than a German Shepard

@CookiezxX The dog needs to have the right temperament, drive, and training to do this type of work. The training enables you to put the behavior on command so that the dog has a clear on and off switch. Excellent question-

Do you have to train a german shepherd to do that or is it in them?
September 5th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Woah!!! W/ that dog NO one would even think of mugging him on the street! U GO GS!

@287cc I know but some people are very scared of Gsd and if I got one in my neighborhood my neighbors would flip out. Gsd are amazing dogs though I always wanted one
