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.
