Shtal:
dont mistake hyperactivity for high dive. You will not know drives until you work the dogs in some venue. Some dogs are very hyper but lack drive.
Aggression towards dogs and people is NOT acceptable and should be bred with caution or not at all.
She is very pretty girl.

GSDPACK, thank you for saying that. A lot of people think that a hyper dog is high drive. Talking to some people in public before and educating them on things dog related....drives were brought up..... Their dog would never settle down and was just very hyper, they thought their dog had a lot of prey drive......it was just a very hyper dog that never got exercise or training.

Shtal, what kind of exercise does she get?
by Shtal on 02 September 2011 - 16:09
Always running and protecting my property. Lol and hunting our chickens if she gets a chance some how.
Can't talk going to work now.

Your dog sounds bored. She needs mental stimulation and structured excerise not just running around your land. I suggest you train with her.

Stahl,
When I read your post – I had one immediate question. Was she socialized early on?
Her behavior sounds to me like a behavior of a GSD (doesn’t mother what line) that was kept away from other people and dogs while young. She is so obedient to you because GSDs like to please their owners.
And if she is so obedient – you shouldn’t have much trouble to teach her the behavior you expect of her. She doesn’t have to be friendly or like other dogs and people – she must at least learn to ignore them.
Additionally she doesn’t look very AmLine like to me. You gave the link to her grandsire but do you have info on the granddam side or parents? That should give you better understanding of her behavior.
What I would worry about is your comment that she is ”… aggressive towards strangers - even myself I have being caution with her.” I think you have to work a bit on who's a boss here.

Yeah Shtal, she needs more than just running the property. A lot of dog owners think just letting the dogs run around the yard will be good enough exercise. All it takes is a walk through my neighborhood to see how many nut case dogs are out there that get to run their yard every day. Dogs need to go for long walks, or runs, have a lot of real physical exercise on a daily basis. Lots of mental stimulation as well.

Thank you guys for the advice,
When she was a pup and growing - she had little socialize at early age. "being caution with her" because when she play's with me - sometimes she gets too rough and I only have to tell her to be gentle with me :-)
When she was growing up I was very busy with my work job and I did not socialized her that much. (My mistake)
---->but do you have info on the granddam side or parents?
I do - but they are not recorded here on pedigreedatabase. (She might had german working line mix in blood line)
The only other dogs I found was my female dog her great grandmother and great grandfather that was recorded here - but all other dogs no records is found here on pedigreedatabase. great grandfather and great grandmother was 100% percent black GSD - it says on the AKC papers http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=554328 pedigree. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=554326
