[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 69568, member: 39"] We have a couple of GP dogs. I would agree with most of the comments above. They are not vicious but they’re not like labs and collies either. I would not think they are the best suited for small children. If you get one don’t let the boy play with the dogs while they’re eating. Again, not mean dogs but not over friendly either. Perfect for what I’m wanting out of them. Like fellers said they tend to bark at night when a coyote or anything else is near, which is a lot around here. Impossible to break them of it. I guess it’s because the protective instinct is bred into them. They will shut up if you get up and tell them to. The only other downside is in regards to their size and aversion to being restrained. Those dogs are hard to doctor. They don’t like you trying to cut the cockleburs out of their hair or messing with them in any way. One had a bur in his paw and was limping bad, but wouldn’t let me touch it for anything. Got some Mickey Finns from the vet for that one. It ended up taking about four X the dose they said to start with. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
