I am very much tempted to go with you there, the GS is just NOT my dog *despite all health issues they have bred into them*, I just think they are (too small) sneaky bastits :P )

The Central Asian Ovcharka are great but they to much hair and is to independent for my liking and I think these dogs need lots of room all day all the time and a 'job' all day, the rest is just to small so to best choice will be a Boerboel and I prefer a Ysterberg line.

And I still cannot find anywhere that I stated that I do not like drool.. :P
