Ah! I love those black German Shepherds. Don't see them that often around here either. Most people have the standard brown ones. Those black ones look even more wolf-like. It's a real shame people don't spend more time learning about dogs. They're everywhere, they live with us, and have so for thousands of years.

I'm so good at deciphering a dog's body language that I know when to approach and when not to. A really good book I have is called "Canine Body Language - A Photographic Guide" by Brenda Aloff. It really makes it easy for the reader to understand with all the photos and descriptions.
