I used to know an autistic Dobermann. Honest! He would get single pieces of kibble out of his bowl, line them up in a straight line on the floor, equally spaced, and then sit there and regard them.

We coulda bonded over that, maybe, but he had other issues.

Funny, mine shoot pool….

I'm pretty sure those are Malinois and not GSDs.

(usually bloodhounds there and then) bred and trained to track humans

It’s my impression that a bloodhound is more likely to lick you to death rather than bite you. Your mileage may vary.

Unrelated, h/t maybe. Great gun commercial.

The original name for German Shepherds was Alsatian Wolf Dogs. They still call them that in most of Europe. They may very well have been bred from wolves but they are not bred to bite people. They can be trained to bite people but their instinct is to bond with people. Rottweilers date back more than 2,000 years. Roman soldiers used them to guard their cattle (food on the hoof — MRE’s had not been invented yet). Same thing as the German Shepherds. Sure, there are bad dogs just as there are bad people but I would say that in the case of the dogs it’s more likely that people made them that way.

“Problematic is the one that bit the handler.”

In all fairness to the dog, all the police are dressed like criminals what with the masks covering their faces and all…it’d be hard for me to tell the good guys from the bad too.

Such dogs should be euthanized as soon as identified, IMHO. No dog should ever be trained to attack a human.

I prefer properly-bred and trained pit bulls, who would not even entertain the thought of slightly nipping at a human, but would be happy to bite the head off of a Doberman Pinscher, German Police Dog (wrongly called “German Shepherd”) or Rottweiler, or any other dog bred and trained to attack humans, to any dog owned by any police department in the country.

N.B. Those three above breeds were all bred by Germans. To bite humans.

The one good thing I have to say about Bill (spit!) Sherman is, that when his army went through my native state, he encouraged his men to find and kill all dogs (usually bloodhounds there and then) bred and trained to track humans.

I have this wicked thought of calling in “The Dog Whisperer” and not telling him it’s trained to attack on cue…it’d at least make a good “Saturday Night Live” skit…

I decided to raise Pit Bulls, I started with 13 counting mothers and pups. But they all died.

I think I may have planted them too deep.
