German Shepherd fits my lifestyle best. Bucky is always available to accompany me or my wife and he is happy to stay home and watch the homestead. The only training he gets is citizenship and obedience. I never feel the need to investigate any sounds inside or out at night unless I am alerted by Bucky. He can distinguish and analyze sounds I can't even hear and he sleeps with both ears and one eye open. I sleep like a baby with the big guy on duty.
When Bucky was young he needed about two hours a day of exercise usually in two one hour sessions. I was sometimes able to recruit neighborhood kids and friends to help. Sometimes the kids would come and ask if he could go out to play with them. When his time comes, I intend to adopt an older dog so that I can keep up with him. Would never want to not have a dog friend.
