well, my dobermann passed away few days after teddy came to my home.. and my gsd is getting along well with this puppy! but teddy is too playful! he is not aggressive to other dogs.. but he is showing great watchdog skills! ( he has still not shown the will to use force when opponents defy his vocal warning!)thanks for your compliments and gsd n my puppy are getting along well! my puppy irritates my gsd sometimes.. he'll keep on pawing his face n chewing his tail! when my gsd growls to warn him (he'll only growl n move away.. he never bites), my puppy backs off and bark n hop and forget about that after a few seconds.. if he shows less dog aggression and dominance issues as a adult, i am thinking of deciding to go for a bulli kutta male! but HMs are known to be very soft as puppies are very tough and dominant as adults!
