Word.
Neighbor got a Black German Shepard from a breeder of security dogs.
Angus, stunning animal, a real specimen.
They did not skimp on training either. The whole family was involved.
But Angus was not a couch potato, very high prey drive.
While he was not aggressive to the family the kids were afraid of him.
After a year or so they had to return him to the breeder because in addition to the family dynamics Angus was bored which did not help at all.
Angus ended up a Federal LEO. He's a breach dog. Apparently very happy with his new gig and very good at it.
Some dogs just don't make good pets, they need more.
