When Killian and Shiloh go anywhere, they get respect. People will stand at a distance and ask if they are friendly and can they approach them. Killian is more aloof and Shiloh is friendly (to people, not other dogs).
When handling GSDs at the adoption events, most (but not all) people are cautious when approaching the dogs also.
When we were owned by my Great Pyrenees, just because she was a huge, fluffy dog, people thought that she was friendly. Not so. She did LOVE all children, but hated teenaged boys and even some people. She would pick up on fear. If someone was afraid of her, she gave them a reason to be. She was very picky in who she would allow to approach her. She looked so friendly, but watch out! BUT, boy did that dog LOVE her family!!
