Buddy is a stubborn dog with social anxiety. Unfortunately, I also have social anxiety and I've not done well with dog training. He was well socialized with other dogs and people as a young puppy but has developed possessiveness and a fear of most strangers. And people with masks on, or hoodies, makes him want to attack. He has tried to attack a couple of people and once bit me when I was trying to restrain him by wrapping my arm around him. He is regularly with another dog (golden retriever) and a cat that hates him. He's a little too rough at play for small children but he loves my boyfriend's 10 year old girl and my 14 year old son. I have gotten a genetic health report done on him and there were no risks found. It also said he was 56% German Shepherd, 30% Great Pyrenees, and 14% Miniature American Shepherd. It predicted that he'd be about 100lbs, but he seems nearly full grown at just over 60lbs. I can share the report with you if you're interested. I would say that he is currently on his way to being a dangerous dog but it is entirely my failure and not something that can't be fixed. He's still a puppy but I am not the right person.
