Congratulations grandpa! That is too cool!
As for Ruger, my hunting buddy has two of those, Sarge and Tank, and they are gentle giants. Great dogs. BTW, my black and white GSP is named Ruger.
That’s cool! I think it’s a great name for dogs!
He is a gentle giant. One thing you do NOT want in a protection trained dog is a bad attitude or excessive aggression. My GS had extensive protection training and he used to routinely throw his 6’4”, 240lb trainer to the ground and drag him around, and yet the 4 year old triplets next door used to use him as a pony
The protection training is half work, half play for these dogs that are suitable for it. That is how you can get them to turn on, or more importantly, to stop instantly when you give the right command. He can tear an arm off a bad guy and she can tell him to be friends with the person he just destroyed and he’ll happily do it. It’s not personal, just work.
