Reply to comment by Anutka25 in UPDATE: FBI agent who fatally shot dog leads the bureau’s Philly office, sources say by Banglophile

honest question: Whats the point of having a dog like that? Why not just get a friendly dog?

I was raised around shepherds, my dog is a rescue who was given up a bunch of times before I saved her at 4 years old.

She’s a fantastic dog at home, very well trained, gets along perfectly with our other puppy. I knew I wanted a German shepherd, and I wasn’t about to buy one from a puppy mill and I have the experience to not let a couple of issues bother me.

She’s just leash aggressive which is a small trade off compared to all the good things she brings into my life.

Like I said, I know what her triggers are and she’s always in a muzzle, because believe it or not, the only time we had a close call was when someone’s off leash dog ran at us and the other owner had no recall.

How am I a problem when I literally said my dog is always in a muzzle and I have full control of her?

Define “friendly dog” here. It’s like dogs are animals, and animals can be aggressive, no matter the breed. Any dog is capable of aggression. Sadly the large breeds bear the cross.
