Drago has been civil since he was 5 months old, when he surprised me by growling at someone at the park who wanted to approach him. He is very protective to say the least, he only got more so. He also has an overly active prey or play drive in my opinion. He has no off switch unless he's in his crate. He comes out of his crate like a racehorse coming out, but he also enters his crate the same way! LOL
I made some training mistakes with him when he was a pup, but now I have a very good trainer (a police dog trainer) who has turned into a great friend over the last several months, and even though our focus is not on GSDs, he is going to help me make him the dog I want him to be. He does not believe in sport training, and he mostly fixes police dogs that were actually trained with sport techniques. So anyway, Drago will bite, that's for sure. The work is having him settle when there are people around, he considers everyone but family to be at least a potential enemy.
Honestly, the jury is still out to me on whether or not his prey drive is so immense that it might mask some nerve issues...I don't trust maniacal toy drive in a dog....but so far so good. I have not worked him very much at all, my focus has been on my other dogs.
But I will work him in some storage units day after tomorrow with the police dogs and see how he does.
My female is a very nice girl that I got from Von Stark in Mexico City. She will bite for real, also, has very good instincts for the work, but I am going very slowly with her. She is a little more laid back, but has some prey drive as well. She is also protective, but I can tell her someone is ok and she will allow them to pet her, unlike Drago.
Drago a aratat inst de aparare inca de la 5 luni, cand m-a surprins pt prima oara, maraind la cineva care a incercat sa se apropie de el. Pot cel putin sa spun ca e protectiv, iar asta s-a accentuat de-alungul timpului. De asemenea in opinia mea are un inst de prada / joaca accentuat. Nu are un 'buton de oprire' decat atunci cand sta in cosul lui. Iese din cosul respectiv cu viteza unui tren rapid, dar intra in cos cu aceeasi viteza! 
Am facut ceva greseli de dresaj cu el cand era tanar, dar acum am parte de ajutorul unui dresor experimentat (dresor caini politisti) care in ultimul timp s-a dovedit a fi un adevarat prieten si, desi focusul nostru nu este centrat pe CG'i, el ma va ajuta sa transform cainele in ceea ce doresc. El nu crede in dresajul sportiv si de fapt el petrece mult timp "reparand" caini politisti care-au fost dresati in regim sportiv. Revenind la Drago, el va musca (real) fara nici o indoiala. Prin lucrul efectuat cu el vrem sa il determinam sa fie mai calm in prezenta strainilor, el tratand pe oricine din afara familiei, ca fiind potential dusman.
Sincer, inca se discuta in jurul meu pe tema instinctului de prada accentuat care ar putea ascunde ceva probleme de nervi.. eu nu am incredere intr-un instinct de joaca (super aportor) extrem de dezvoltat... dar pana acum toate-s bune. Nu l-am lucrat asa mult, eu concentrandu-ma pe ceilalti caini ai mei.
Dar in curand il voi lucra cot la cot cu niste caini politisti in niste spatii de depozitare sa vad cum se descurca.
Femela este foarte faina, pe care am luat-o de la Von Stark, din Mexic. Si ea va musca, are instincte f bune pt lucru, dar o iau incet cu ea. Ea e ceva mai relaxata, dar are si inst de prada bun. Si ea este protectiva, dar spre deosebire de Drago, daca ii dau de inteles ca cineva nu e dusman, il lasa sa o mangaie.
