I've never looked upon a GSD as intimidating, a doberman or a rottweiler, but for some reason I don't think a GSD is scary looking.

I have had a few friends who have owned them. Most were well trained. Has there recently been a surge in their population because I've seen a fair amount in the shelters? I felt sorry for them because they seemed so afraid. Like any breed some are well bred and others not so much I suppose. One did bite my dog on the neck in her obedience class, luckily Ellie was not DA at the time. The same dog also tried to bite the instructor of the class which really worried him because the owner also had a little girl, and he told the owner she needed to be concerned for the safety of the little girl.

I do have an observation on the GSD. I think it has a very strange "gait", if that is the correct term, or movement. That is the only thing I don't like about the breed, for me, their movement is very strange on the back end. Sorry if this does not make sense as I am not at all knowledgeable about the correct terminology.
