llwatson,
Thanks for the compliments, I'll pass it on to them. The female on the left was the first, she'll be 4 this year. She is great. She is my running partner. The male will be 9 this year. A friend of ours is a Breeder/Trainer and he was he primary stud dog and companion. He is aslo a Certified Therapy dog. She retired him about 1 1/2 years ago to us. He is AWESOME. Very loving and genlte yet VERY protective of my wife and 2 year old son. I pitty the person who might intend to do them harm if he's around.
If anyone is interested in a very good German Shepherd Dog I can reccomend a breeder in North Texas. She's not cheap, but not the most expensive out there either. The U.S. military just recently bought a male from her.

Also, I ahve heard good about boxers. The short hair could be a plus also. I love my pups, but they shed alot!!!

I fully agree on the dog idea with the caveat that he and the dog attend at te very LEAST a basic obedience training and preferably further. I also suggest a German Shepherd, but I am biased. The dog does not need to be an expensive one, but with a G. Shepherd I highly reccomend researching and knowing the breeder.

Below are my two.
