I need some advice from "Dog Gurus". I have always had German Shepherds, never another breed. We all know that each breed has it's own built in traits. Shepherds are extremely keen watchdogs and will let you know if a flea in the front yard farts!
My Abby is 11.5 years old, has several medical problems and likely, well you know! While no dog can be replaced, getting involved with another is good medicine! You don't find Shepherds at the Shelter very often and I am not keen on breeders. They look for $$$ and are not always careful with lineage!
THE QUESTION:
Are there any other breeds that display nearly the same intelligence, alertness, protectiveness and train-ability?
or are there and other ways to find a Shepherd in need of a home?
