my uncle has two and they are very nice dogs i love them whenever we visit we bring our dogs and they play all the time. I do have to say they are protective but you want a dog that lets you know that someone is at your door.

Mine is a mix between a german shepherd and a blue heeler and hes great with everyone. especially with small kids. Hes extremly smart for his age, loving and protective of myself and my kids. He doesnt worry to much about protecting my husband tho lol.

The love of a pet cant be measured by any means
