I recently bought a pup. Our pup never did whine. Last night we were walking our normal path when a man with another German shepherd approached us, he said what a beautiful dog we had. His pup was 8 months old and jumping all around and barking his pup jumped on my pup Taboo and got a quick wakeup call Taboo grawled and snapped at him as if to say back off and his dog did just. Taboo then sat back down next to me and was as calm as could be once again. After asking where we got her, he asked if he could have the number. I believe my pup showed proper temperment she was totally calm and friendly until the other dog jumped on her, and even then she did not bite the dog but she made it clear she has had enough.
