be very selective about the breeder if you do decide to get a dal. they are prone to being deaf, and byb dont screen their dogs for anything.
as far as my experiance with them, well, i would not own one. i worked for a woman who had 2. her father, who lived across the country, was dying o she had to go there 3 times while i worked with her. she didnt have many friends, and i had a yard, so i watched them for her, for probably about a month total. the female was a complete pain. she barked, she beat up the male, she jumped, she tore everything up. the male was quite sweet, but not the brightest gem in the box. and they were both very stubborn. i worked at a horse ranch and at the end of the day wuold let them loose on the property. it would take such along time to get them back to go home. they would always come to me then right when they saw the leash take off running again. i would have stopped doing it, but they were such pains to walk, both going in different directions, the female running right into the male, the male somehow getting out of his gentle leader (hate those things). these dogs were also both strays when she got them, and i can count the minutes they had in formal training with one hand. so they were considerably worse than any pup given training at a young age would be
