This perfectly describes a German SHepherd I had as a kid. He nearly killed more than a few wandering dogs in our area. He was always gentle with us but he was definitely not so nice to other people or dogs. We once were pulled over by police with this dog in the backseat, asleep. The cop walks up and apprently surprised our GS by tapping his fingers on the window whereupon "hell" was unleashed, figuratively speaking, against the window. The cop jumped about 5 feet up and back and, if there had been traffic, he would have been killed. He was a great dog.
