There are two recognisable types of Retriever. The slimmer, more athletic type is generally bred to work and should be a fit and agile dog. The other type is a slightly shorter, heavier dog favoured for showing. Bear this in mind when choosing your breeder and looking at the parents. Too much weight is harmful to a dog and prevents him having a good quality of life. Weighty dogs are also more prone to hip dysplasia.

They're also even more difficult in a number of ways. The energy level makes GSDs look calm. I've known some that are great dogs though.

Nah, these dogs spent hours Central Park off-leash every evening. They pissed the hell out of my dog, who wanted to bite the crap out of them. The owner stopped me from intervening, saying that if they got pwn3d they would deserve it and might learn a lesson. Somehow, working together they avoided it. Just as she reached one dog, the other would nip her from behind and run away. Mind you, my dog outweighed both put together so they were taking their lives in their hands. The owner couldn't care less and thought it was hilarious.

They were both rescues off farms that couldn't deal with them. 1 was a chicken killer, the other didn't want to live outside with the animals.

We dog sat one for like six months and a 20 min walk around the neighborhood once a day plus maybe 1-2 month trips to dogpark or swim made the incessant barking whenever outside stop almost immediately. Our neighbors (who had lived next to the dog for years) couldn't stop marveling at how quickly she chilled out.

it was an awesome dog, now garbage like the amerikkkan women and fags who run dog breeding:

The German Shepherd Dog is also a breed that is routinely mentioned when people talk about ruined breeds; maybe because they used to be awesome. In Dogs of All Nations, the GSD is described as a medium-sized dog (25 kg /55 lb), this is a far cry from the angulated, barrel-chested, sloping back, ataxic, 85-pounders (38 kg) we are used to seeing in the conformation ring. There was a time when the GSD could clear a 2.5 meter (8.5 ft) wall; that time is long gone

My roommate got a rescue German Shepherd. The dog is absurdly overprotective of him. She will growl, bark, nip, or stare down people who get too close to him. She does this even with people who have been around her and my roommate quite a bit (i.e., people she ought to know are not a danger). When he's not around, she's just timid and depressed.

Admittedly my roommate thinks it's because she's a rescue and was abused, has abandonment issues, etc. He also hasn't done a great job of training her. However, my cousin had a similar issue with a German Shepherd he took on as a support animal, and he ended up having to return it. So I think at least part of it stems from the breed itself.

Yeah but this is pathological. It would be one thing if she only did this to strangers, but she does this even with people she ought to know are not a threat. Even the dumbest dogs should be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

Then the dog is not socialized or confident enough. My dog was massively overprotective when she was young (also a rescue who was feral), but with socialization and age chilled out. She knows if anything went down she could easily kill a person so unless there's a reason to freak out she doesn't. When people do shit she doesn't like then she growls, barks, whatever. She has figured out that people listen pretty promptly when a 130 lb dog bares her teeth.

this is why they are problematic. they are big and they can cause damage when they bite. they are better as a defensive tool, not as a big, playful pet.

everyone thinks their rescue dog was abused. this is bullshit. rescue dogs were abandoned because of their difficult temperaments, not because they were abused. why the fuck would an abuser get rid of a good victim?

Honestly, I prefer livestock guardians. They're just much easier to live with on a day to day basis if you're two working adults. GSDs have a huge amount of energy and need far more attention (they look to you all the time, livestock guardians are much more independent). But GSDs are generally more exuberant about their love. You coming home is the best thing on the planet.

Right, it is genetic but the notion that only purebred/inbred dogs get it is a myth. That is like saying that only people of pure Euro blood can have blue eyes. It just isn't true.

Also, don't forget that dysplasia isn't the only major issue. That GSD gait can be overdone and cause problems. Arthritis generally is another major issue (mine has it). So on and so forth.

Dysplasia - yes.

Arthritis - can't test for it.

The gait - same, can't test. You can look at the parents though.

Here's another one - my childhood German Shepherd had the worst vision imaginable. He wasn't blind but you weren't playing fetch with him because no way would he see the ball. If you threw it he would try to sniff it out though.

The GSD was.

There are plenty of GSDs in the South. Just drive a bit and pick one up. Search on Petfinder.

I'm not going to argue this so much as note that there are plenty of rescues with 0 pit bull in them. Pit bulls are urban dogs so you'll have to find a rescue in a rural area. Personally, I'd rather have you rescue a German Shepherd than buy one.

Also, in Harlem we had a neighbor who had a "defective" GSD. Huge, gorgeous dog that he took in after a family member got rid of him for being too nice. Yep, this dog didn't have a mean bone in his body. So he would warn all strangers to stay back and made a huge production about it. It worked and he never got robbed.

After he gets to know you he'll whisper that the dog is nice and that you can't tell anyone... My dog adored him. Finally died of old age at 12.
