Cyn - i didn't realize that you lived in a coop, too!
My buddy's german shepard is territorial and trained to attack anyone that enters his house unannounced. but with friends and family, it is supposedly well-trained and loveable. or so everyone believes... even though it has gone after me three times. Hasn't done anything more severe than freaking me out, getting close and barking when I was close to her food dish, or pull (violently) at my hair while I was laying down on "her" couch. The owner does not see it as an issue. even after she mauled his face while they were "playing".
I am not saying that all german shepards are bad. I'm not even saying that this dog is evil or should be prejudiced against. I am saying that training a dog for attack is something that should be done seriously and not half-heartedly. this particular dog is dangerous, but the owner is in denial. most owners love their pets too much to realize that, yes, they do have the potential to be dangerous.
