Our dog has never been left away from us other than at the groomers, or home alone during our errands. He is an Aussie-German Shephed mix (80 lbs), Once he knows you're accepted by the family and you've been gradually introduced, he is very sweet and playful. He's very protective of Mom, and barks at strangers, approaching Mom. However, he takes daily long walks with Dad and is used to Dad engaging in casu a l talks with neighbors and strangers although he's always ready to protect. He lives with his 16 yr old Pomeranian (8 lbs) sister, and does well either her. We still keep them separated at feeding times, as he can get protective of his food.
