stacwase,

Hi & welcome to Pet Talk. I saw this other post in Dog Breeds
about your looking for a breed other than GSD.

"I'm looking for a Rhodesian Ridgeback to rescue. Anybody here have experience with them? "

Just wondering if you have more knowledge about other
breeds & a GSD would be a new experience for you? They are
fabulous animals. Strong ,intelligent, yet so incredibly sensitive.
