That's interesting.
When I left home, the dog stayed with my parents...it was about 3 years old.
It became extremely aggressive, mainly with food but I put that down to my dad.
It snapped at one of my kids (almost biting him) and I refused to bring the kids back to visit.
It turned from being a really sweet loving dog to a very nasty animal that I would never trust around my kids :sad:

And now for awesome GSD's :biggrin:
Never had a bad one. My last dog, Wallace (and forgive me if I've said this before) was superb.
As you know my son has autism. When he was young and would get upset, or go into a meltdown, the dog would lay quietly beside him until he was calm. We never taught him to do that. In fact, I used to get worried as my son would lash out but still that dog never moved from his side.

We were all in bits when he died and it's taken my son a couple of years to 'like' our current GSD.
That's a truly lovely account of your experience with your GSD's Scotia.

When I first encountered one of your posts (don't remember if it was in Tea or elsewhere) I had to post you for advice/experience etc, as they have always been by far my favourite breed.

Sometime after I got down to doing some research on breeds that I might like, with the caveat that they must be good/safe around small kids.

I found that Springers from some bloodlines can suffer from this Sudden Onset Aggression Syndrome but by & large they are a good breed.

I seem to remember that if they are susceptible to it, it tends to show around young adulthood, say from 2 yrs onwards.

Our Cocker Spaniel wasn't aggressive at all (even though it bit my Dad), he wandered in to Mums bedroom after staying out drinking in the campsite bar & 'Rusty' probably thought he was defending Mum etc.

Back to GSD's.
In my research they came out as one of the highest rated breeds for young families, great round kids etc & the rest of the stuff I don't need to pap on about coz it would be like teaching you to suck eggs.

So there we have it, as soon as daughter hits 5 yrs old, or we miraculously can afford a bigger house, a GSD or Cocker it will be.

Say hi to the family :hello:
