Norman for short. He is 10 weeks old, 14 pounds and huge paws. Picked him up from the Humane Society this weekend. He is well behaved and seems to be already house broken.
I work late at night and I was looking for a dog to stay home with the woman for security reasons. I have had dogs before so and have experience with obedience training. As far as bring up a dog with home security in mind do you guys have any advice on raising a friendly yet protective dog? i.e. some badguy wont be able to just slip the dog a treat and and "Good boy" to get past the dog.
You guys see that show "it takes a Thief" on Discovery. The guy breaks into peoples homes to show how easy it is and he never has a problem with dogs. Even when the owners think of their dog as being tuff.
Any advice?
He seems to have some German Shepard in him and the vet said today that he will prob get to be about 80 lbs buy the looks of his knees and paws.
