to turn on their owners. To generalise like all 'German Shepherds' are potential killers is the same as saying all Indians are labourers. My whole extended family have had Shepherds at some stage and I love them. They are protective and not vicious. However I have seen some that are aggressive. But I see that in humans too. Try walking in to the wrong pub in East London or going in to a bike gang headquarters in Aus or NZ. These people are vicious.

Yes we are omnivores - so both Herbivores and Meat eaters. By the way - mentioning Bacon on this site tends to make a few salivate :)

What I meant is that as animal owners/carers we need to take responsibility to ensure the animals we have are well kept. If we all do this then there would be a lot fewer incidents of dogs attacking their owners. It's not as if they would admit to mistreating their dog would they??
