Good German, The (2006)
IMDB rating: 6.10
Plot: Berlin, July, 1945. Journalist Jake Geismer arrives to cover the Potsdam conference, issued a captain’s uniform for easier passage. He also wants to find Lena, an old flame who’s now a prostitute desperate to get out of Berlin. He discovers that the driver he’s assigned, a cheerful down-home sadist named Corporal Tully, is Lena’s keeper. When the body of a murdered man washes up in Potsdam (within the Russian sector), Jake may be the only person who wants to solve the crime: U.S. personnel are busy finding Nazis to bring to trial, the Russians and the Americans are looking for German rocket scientists, and Lena has her own secrets.

Will my white German Shepherd mix protect me?
Ever since I got him I have been wondering
He is mixed with lab
He has the body of a German Shepherd with the coloring of a light yellow lab
His ears are huge, I don’t know if that matters haha
He barks alot although I don’t know if he would ever do anything
Chances are if he’s properly trained and socialized…… nope.
Looks have NOTHING to do with whether or not your dog has any guarding or protection ability. Temperament and genes DO. Mutt dogs are not well bred, and likely not from any type of stock with the ability to do the job.
At best, expect a bark.
Very FEW dogs have any type of guarding or protecting ability. QUITE a few have the ability to be possessive or territorial. A lot of stories you hear about dogs "protecting" their owner have nothing to do with protection instincts and everything to do with possessive/aggressive behaviors and the dog just being in the right spot at the right time.
A well trained protection dog is 100% safe in public. A well trained protection dog will bark, growl, maybe lunge or charge at an intruder. But NO well trained protection dog will BITE unless physically threatened or instructed to do so. PERIOD.

all K-9 if were treated right will almost definitely will help you if you’re in trouble…
some maybe to coward to do something, but it still depends on how you treat her (i’m not talking about training).
different species do act differently, some will strongly help you some don’t, but this does not apply definitely.
From my experience mixed and mongrels act stronger then the pure breed. Mongrel are the best for this.
testimony:
my friend got this mongrel bitch (doesn’t mean to be offensive, LOL).
And one day when we’re having a conversation with her K-9 right next to her, we’re talking jokes and i pat my friend on her leg, and her dog was like going to bite me for that. Maybee she thought that i’m attacking her master.

Not proactively, but just walking a handosme strong dog like that will give people (and other dogs) cause to stop and think about the wisdom of bad behaviour. The more you work together as a team with the dog obeying your commands the more confident (and less easy to attack) you will appear.
When they prick their ears up straight and give that strong eye, then only an idiot would mess with them.

Hi,
Funny, my pit bull used to do the same, we called him a big wuss dog. lol– You can actually train them to protect you but I am not sure of your doggies personality, like is he would cooperate with you. You can take them to an abidance class before you teach him to "guard" you, then teach him how to protect you. thanks and good luck to you and your pup

Yes he will as he gets older in age. I had a Shep/lab mixed and he was the friendliest dog. But when it came time to protect he knew the difference.

I think it depends on whether or not your dog is scared/aggressive to strangers.
Usually when dogs are scared they will bark or growl at the said "predator"
Well, this is what my little chihuahua does~
She is really afraid of meeting new dogs/people. I also think it depends on the breed/personality of the dog – like if it’s too friendly then it won’t be aggressive towards meeting new people.

Dogs dont protect.
A trained protection dog will, because it has been trained to do so.
