No, we would never spoil a dog.

On the other hand, spoiled dog is better than spoiled kids.:thumbsup:

Latest addition to our house. My daughter wanted a puppy and I wanted rid of her boyfriend. Cant have a puppy and a boyfriend. She got the puppy. Good to see she has her priorities right. I like a good barter too. Her name is Roxie

To all you German Shepherd lovers out there, how are those dogs around kids that are about 7-10 years old?

My mom's collie is getting old and I would like to get her a dog that would be a good pet and also a good protector. I've never had a German Shepherd, always had bird dogs so I don't know their traits or mannerisms.

Any ideas on whether they would be a good protector/companion for an older woman? And not cause problems for grandkids?

I have thought about getting a somewhat trained 1 year old dog vs. going the puppy route. Any pros / cons to this?

Sid, any dog can be just what you want them to be, some have stronger inheritant traits,
I would suggest a medium sized mix/rescue for the elderly woman. They tend not to have as many ailments which results in smaller vet bills, and perhaps as you said, a 1-2 year old house trained dog (35-45lbs).
Pups need excersize and play time, and in turn you get a dog lees prone to chewing distructive behavior.
All of our dogs have always been very protective of of family and home.
