My husband had a german shepherd and a rottweiler when we started dating. I loved both dogs. Dogs will have their own personalities even within the same breed. The rottie loved to place her head on my lap and sit there for long periods of time gazing at me with those adorable eyore eyes. The GS would never look anyone in the eye and would be content to sit at a distance watching everybody. The GS would worry until everyone was home safe for the night. The rottie on the other hand...off duty...sleeping...snoring.... I love both breeds but we ended up choosing a rottweiler. Good luck with your research to find the best dog for you. I have only been a member for a short time but am amazed at the wealth of knowledge on this site.
