I have always owned German Shepherds but some of them had hip dysplasia and when I wanted a puppy, I chose a white shepherd because their built looked better to me. Metza is now two and a half years old and simce she walked into my house, she's been a bundle of joy. She loves training and excels at it and has boundless energy. she fits in nicely with the other animals in my household and I have come to rely on her for protection, in the house and also in the car. No-one can come near my car and driving at night has become a pleasure! She's aloof to strangers but once people enter your house, she accepts them and on regular visits will even make friends with other people outside the household. She is very loyal to me and VERY,VERY obedient. I would recommend this breed at any time. With a lot of attention and love, Metza has turned out to be my best dog EVER!

Pros: Very intelligent and easy to train. Learn tricks easily and very loyal to members of household. Excellent watchdog and wonderful companion.

Cons: My shepherd don't have any!

I rescued Sage Snowcloud(5months old) and fell in love with her.She is too posessive of me and does not like strangers.I added Baron Von Gehr(5 months) so they would grow up together.They have boundless energy.I have a 3 acre farm and other animals.They go after the other animals.They are very protective of my 6 year old and patrol the property.Both are large dogs.We enjoy their antics immensly.Both had early socialization deprevation,so thats why they may not be good with other people around.Sage loves balls and Baron loves to harass Sage.They are indoors and outdoors.Walking in the woods is a chore as they are agressive to everyone,so we are choosing isolated parks.Both were kicked out of training due to agression.For our family,they are sweet and wonderful.We are happy for the protection.These dogs cannot be kept as "inside dogs"..They need to work off alot of energy.If you do not have a large fenced property,do not get this breed.They also love the rain,wind and snow.Frequently want to be out all the time.These dogs also want to be around our family all the time.We are their pack.

Pros: great and loyal companions.Very protective

Cons: Sometimes too agressive towards other people and dogs.High prey driveAdolesence lasts 3 years.

Valen is my 3rd white she is 7 and very intelligent. She is so gentle that even though she was spayed at 11 months she took in a baby duckling last yer and made it hers!! They napped together the duck followed her every where. She is gentle with children of all ages my grandkids put their hands in her dish while she eats it doesnt bother her in the least. She stays in the yard. My first White lived to the age of 16 yrs I would not recommend this she developed large systs and suffered artheritis. I feel this breed makes an excellent family dog.

Pros: great companion very loyal protection, keeps the floor clean when the litle kids are around

Cons: lots of hair around the house
