Back in the summer, a friend and I went knocking on some doors in the neighborhood to invite people to a little get together and when we got out of the car at one house (this is in the country and the houses are few and fare between) we heard a deep, loud bark that rattled the windows and we quickly discovered a huge mail GSD standing about halfway between our car and the house.
It was a thing of beauty; this 120 lb. or so (not fat) noble creature was the picture of confidence, as he calmly stated his job description. He made it plain that although we were in no danger at the moment, any further move towards the house would be considered as a violation of protocol and that he would take great offence if we continued. I turned to my buddy and said "he says that nobody's home right now and that we should come back later."
He was marked like the dog in the picture above and I would guess five or six years old. My GSD is almost all black with tan, if his hips are fine when my bitch is old enough; I may try to get her bread by him.
