a life less posted:It looked like all the dog's concentration was on keeping control of its rear end. It was a shame. We adopted a dog after his owner died, and this was definitely the case with him. Alex was gorgeous but a few months after we had him his hips declined drastically. Poor guy fishtailed like a tractor trailer. We had him two years, and he was ten when we put him down.  His previous owner spoiled him like a child. There is nothing like squatting down to pet a 100 pound dog only to have it go OKAY and plop its rear end in your lap. Edit: I remember he had a tattoo on the inside of his ear- is this a common breeder practice?

My friends parents picked two puppies from the same litter. Her mom picked a sweet little girl and her dad picked a little boy that bit him when he picked it up. Combined with the fact that her dad reinforced the lovely behavior because he liked being the only person the dog liked, the dog became a crazy animal that could rarely be approached. It bit my friends ear so badly she needed plastic surgery! To contrast, our GSDs have been love sponges you could do anything to- including when Alex needed his dressings changed on his chest wound and hurt him a bunch. I guess I would compare them to pitbulls in regards to 'awesome, but when it goes bad it can go real bad' territory
