I’ve owned German Shepherds for much of my life. I’d just like to stake a claim for the ATT SE2 as the German Shepherd of razors.
My last dog was a 4 y/o Kuvasz rescue.
There was no room left in the back seat of my Grand Prix lol. 34"s at the shoulders and 115lbs. They're bred to be faster and more agile than wolves. He literally ran circles around a friends Border Collie.
He had issues with men from his previous home and we didnt see eye to eye lol. We even had a fight over that once, so I had to take him back. He's in a good home now so all's well, fang marks aside haha. I'm just glad it was a winter walk or he would have torn me up really bad. He did almost rip the sleeve off my North Face coat though.
Very interesting breed. They're one of the 3 oldest breeds. At the end of WW2 there were only 13 left. Because they're such fierce protectors, the Russians and Germans both shot them on sight.
They're bred under such controlled circumstances that his bloodline goes all the way back to King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in the 15th century. After seeing them in action first hand and watching them work, I wonder if the werewolf myth originated from that breed.
There are some really good and very funny stories written by an off the grid working farmer in Kentucky. He has a very strong innate understanding of animals and his stories had me in tears they're so funny. They also give a very good insight into what that breed is for and does, purely on its own instinct.
