| Re: Getting a pup....rottweiler or german shepherd?
My Rotts have always been affectionate, the females more than the males, yes, but the males are affectionate in their own way.
Do I hug my dogs, sure? Would I let a stranger hug my dogs? No. They do need their space - I have found with my own dogs and those of my friends that they are very accepting of people welcomed by their owners, but should someone at a dog show come up to me and ask if they could hug my dogs, I would say no and explain why.
They are fantastic family dogs (I have 3 kids), they simply need lots of training and socializing and they will be fabulous pets.
I can't speak of the GSD, never owned one ....
