Let's compare apples, oranges and banana's... all fruit but yummy in their own specific way.....
Can we compare the temperments of all three breeds....?
Our breeds of choice through the years have been labs, which we currently own one of, and GSD's.. as I stated before.
I see some similar characteristics between the lab and the GSD... but some differences as well. They both are motivated and willing to learn... though I think the GSD's were more, aloof? Is that the word I'm looking for? And the seem to be more, "one person" dogs, respond better to one person and have less of a happy-go-lucky attitude... where our labs, until Greta, have been more "family" dogs, responded to anyone who gave the command and have been body wagging, always happy, everyone's best friend types..... and from what I remember of sis's dobe, she had more a the lab type temperment, was a clown and always happy... but seemed, if I remember correctly, to favor sis more than BIL.... but I had limited interaction with her.
What are your experiences and opinions?
I must say, at this point I'm still leaning towards a GSD..... eventually. LOL
