Arun im sorry but im gonna have to disagree with you "if you want a sarplaninac, essentially go for one.. it is absolutely your choice and you exercise your choice. pick the right puppy and raise it in the right way and he'll be a great companion of yours. (right way doesn't mean something which is really difficult.. it is just saying 'NO' and "good' whenever it is needed to be said. and of course, being a rottweiler owner, you must be knowing.. exercise your authority..by training or things like that..) good luck.." Atleast for now, I do agree with others that maybe Awaress should start out with one of the softer temp LGD to gain some personal hands on experience. I see more and more of LGD's needing to be placed in shelters and foster homes because of lack of experience on new owners parts
