[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1814520, member: 42782"] I get that, but these aren't "working dogs". Yes they work but not in packs. Historically, in the region of Germany and Holland they were the [B]single[/B] sheep and stock guard of a family. But not like LSG dogs (livestock guardian dog breeds). that stay with thr sheep all the time and are imprinted on sheep. German Shepherd ancestors went out all day and watched over the stock, not herding them, except when they saw the sheep were headed for the potato patch, but guarding from predators and thieves. When the sheep were in the fold at night they stayed in the house and guard the family. Inga does this without training, it is innate she watches over the whole place. At night she is 'the wolf by the door'. They are intellgent and have and be trained beyond come sit stay or else they get into trouble. They must have leadership and to fit within the pack order of the human family. When they don't have this leadership and pack order GSDs feel that someone has to lead, so it's going to have to be the dog. They feel they must be dominant and they must guard. This is what happened with Joe Biden's German Shepherds. Notice how it's always Secret Service men that creep around with their paranoid vibrations. The Biden family should not have German Shepherds but a biting lap dog sitting on a pillow because they they do much less damage. [/QUOTE]
