German Shepard Hands Down! Since I was 2 my family has owned multiple Shepards. My dad had one, my grandma, my aunt, my great grandma, etc. They are just so loyal and have protected our family faithfully! With lots and lots of love...
One time when I was a toddler, my dad layed me on the couch for a nap and our German Shepard layed next to the couch the whole time looking out for me. When my dad would tickle me and I would squeal with delight, our sherpard would start trying to pull my dad away in fear I was hurt... They are so loveable!

Great memories of having them... That is why for my family it was a SHOCK that I went and got 2 "ankle biters". LOL!
