People fear them and they are very protective and loyal. I have one and she has definitely protected me and she is only a year old but weighs 85#'s already. She let's me know when someone is even walking down my street. They are very faithful companions and train easily. German Shepherds are THE BEST by far!!!

As well as German Shephards. I have a German shephard and he is the absolute sweetest dog. He is about 100 pounds and wouldn't hurt a fly. He is very helpful and attentive. He also is very smart.

This is from their web page of frequently asked questions: Where do you get the dogs that you train? Almost all of our dogs come from shelters and humane societies in Oregon and northern California. Our trainers visit the shelters on a regular basis looking for dogs. A variety of different sizes of dogs are used, based on the needs of current applicants, with the majority of dogs being small to medium sized. The dogs must be three years old or younger and very friendly, energetic and playful. By using shelter dogs, we are able to help alleviate some of the vast population of unwanted dogs. These dogs are then trained and placed in loving homes where they can provide a very important service. ________________________________________________________ If you are considering a hearing dog you may email Dogs for the Deaf at: If you would like a contact person, contact: Robin Dickson Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. 10175 Wheeler Road Central Point, OR 97502 Voice/TDD 541-826-9220 Fax 541-826-6696 She is a very special lady and I know she would be glad to answer your questions!
