The pros are its dutch so probably works hard and has a brain. The cons are it barks like a Shepard……. So annoying. My neighbours Belgian shepherd barks all day and night long at people on there own property….. I like in an a acreage subdivision with 3 to 6 acre parcels and its on one of 4 different fence lines barking……… drives me nuts. Used to like the Shepard breed. Anyways just a little rant. I am sure you are a much better dog owner than my neighbour, so good luck on your new venture.

Don't like barkin dogs? I had a male lab, his nick name was Bob Barker, I got him a bark collar from Dodtra called the yapper stopper that has a rechargeable battery and a variable intensity controller. He didn't like it but it shut him up. But it was a lot better than the local bylaw officer coming with complaints about a barkin dog.

It is young enough to train still. If you are the alfa it will follow what you say. You will have to train it in your ways of dealing with noise and other people. Did I say TRAIN IT enough?

A dog barking like a guard dog is fine to me if someone is in the yard . But a dog just barking to bark is a no no to me and a shock collar is used..

Husky I’m right there with you ! For some lousy luck I have owned 3 homes next to neighbours that had yappy mutts . All 3 owners had the same mentality “ What not my dog , You mean Rex no not Rex “ !

Had one neighbour wanted to open up a can of WoopAss on me ,that didn’t work out for him .

The neighbour two homes down from me has 3 poodles ,yappy pathetic mutts that were barking constantly . I had enough one day and told them to shut them the hell up .
He said mind your own business or things are going to get worse for you . Well I said “ that sounds like a threat to me “

Maybe you would like to settle over fisti cuffs . Kept calling me Liittle man and a pussy .

They were quiet for a couple of months then started up again so I told him to get the hell off his deck and bring them in .

He says “ Shut up you little ( derogatory for a gay man ) !
They have been not too bad lately . The owner is a real mouthpiece !
The thing is I love dogs and had them growing up but yappers not my cup of tea
My apologies for the derail !
Goid luck with your future pet !

No I agree artic , yappin dogs all time drives me nuts . It's one thing if there someone in your yard that's not supposed to be but to just let your dog bark all time is ridiculous..

If I were you I would go for it!!
They do have beautiful colors and are very trainable. A little rough around infants. But most big dogs have an infant tail wagging knock over infant problem.
I wish I was 30 years younger.
