Re: Boxer or GSD..advice please!

What do you want to know?

Well I have been involved with GSD's since I was 6 so I would say I have had my experience

GSD's are a rather loyal but sensitive breed, they do need firm but fare training in the correct way rather than a negative approach. They can also be very protective and territorial, but when or what is excepted they usually except it as well. They usually love being with their people and they also love working and trying to please you.

Also show or working lines can also play a big part in the overall temperament of the dog. I would say shows bred GSD's are more softer and working lines are feistier, usually with nerves of steel if they are from a good source.

They are prone to hip dysplasia and bloat, but you never know really even if you go to a very experienced, brilliant top of the range breeder.
