Breedia Dog Forum
I am trying to give a balanced and diplomatic view ;-) As I said SOME WGSL do not appear to move comfortably at walk - to me, that is incorrect. A...
Unfortunately this type of behaviour is not uncommon, in that we had had a number of dogs in rescue over the years that had become too protective of...
I think if you start off with a sociable pup from sociable parents etc and you have people coming and going from a young age, then your pup would...
Such an emotive topic. My view, for what it is worth, is that the two dogs shown in the photos, while not being my preferred type of GSD, are not...
Do your GSDs have a strong guarding/protection instinct? Just interested as I have had four GSDs over the past few years and all have had quite a...
I don't think they are "rare", more "less common" if you see what I mean :grin: Most people think of a GSD as black and tan/gold/red etc and...

:-) I could almost be tempted to find out more ... but I won't be having anything except WL GSDs in the future :grin:

Interesting links. After reading the first one, it is easy to see why the second one happened. The description sounds to me as though the breed...
From some preliminary research it would seem that the LGD is stubborn, single-minded, and focused solely on its herd and its protection. Here are...
I wonder what sort of pets these type of breeds would make, especially if they are being imported from working parents in Europe. They are certainly...
Thanks for posting that link Dyane, that was the one I was going to put up. The rest of the website is worth a read too, for anyone interested in...
Oops :-D It looks like the Mali tried to have a couple of quick nips at the handler's hand too when heeling. They aren't called Maligators for...
I have watched a minute of so of each clip posted, and admit to cringing at many of the dogs structure and movement :-( I just don't see the reason...
I think tending dogs would be a more apt description. I think herding is quite misleading to us in the UK, as we are so used to the herding style of...
