re: #740 turn
Smart too.
Shepards are great dogs. Mine was Dylan. When hubby and I decided to get a dog (finally) I thought about another one (along with Labs and Rotties), but decided all of them were just too big to carry if they ever needed to be. But one thing - I don’t know of ONE law enforcement agency that will use American-bred shepards. Fairfax county gets them from the Czechs and Hungarians. I spent a summer helping train shepards for the Penna. State police and those dogs came from - wait for it - Japan.
