2. Both lasted 16 wonderful years, and both broke my heart when they passed away. They were my best friends, I loved them and they loved me. We played, worked, and even hunted together. I miss them.

@NativePortlander1970 it is...now that i think of it i believe my parents got that dog from a professional dog handler. it may have been trained as a guard dog. i'll have to ask my brother if he remembers. but a few years ago he adopted an adult chocolate lab and that dog loved everybody. he was a really good dog.
@beermeplease Even stranger, labs do not normally have the temperment to be guard dogs, unless that was the handler's motive, to completely psyop a burgler.

@NativePortlander1970 i was thinking the same. but maybe it was a lab mix. then only way of fully knowing is if my brother remembers or remembers having conversations with my parents over the years. both of my shepherds were good, loyal family dogs too, but my dad was the ultimate handler in that they would listen to him before us. not to say they wouldn't listen to us if dad wasn't around. but i remember when my brother and i got into physical fights our dog would go nuts...it didn't know who to protect. she would bark and show her teeth to both of us as if she was saying "stop it" ...i've posted this pic before...my first shepherd

I've never had a dog only cats. I love them though. They're just too much responsibility

@Lilymoon Exactly, I'm not a fan of middle of the night walks and carrying poo bags.
