Helegant Jan 2018 8:02pm, 25 Jan 2018 5,421 posts	0 Helegant I've twice seen Jet tell an adolescent dog to back off in similar terms. It must look much more scary when done by a GSD, but imo, nothing to worry about unless blood is involved.
FergusG Jan 2018 8:22pm, 25 Jan 2018 2,196 posts	0 FergusG He’s very much still a beautiful, kind, gentle and well behaved dog! He just put on a very effective show of force to quash a potential threat by letting the other dog know (without actually harming him) that he needs to behave around you both.
Chrisull Jan 2018 8:46pm, 25 Jan 2018 12,180 posts	0 Chrisull Dougal has bared his teeth and shown readiness to give as good as he's got a couple of time, but both times with dogs that were in his face, and one of them was off their lead. He seems to be reacting to threat that's all.

D2 Jan 2018 9:37pm, 25 Jan 2018 10,300 posts	0 D2 Thanks everyone, it was such a shock, I suppose he is growing up, GSDs do take forever to grow up. I wonder if he will start humping cushions now he has found his RRRRRRRRRRRRR?!
