My friends husband has a seizure disorder, I am unsure of the specifics. They are wanting an alert dog for him and he has gotten the bit in his teeth that the male puppy he has fallen in love with from their current litter will be his SD. I have argued the case to the best of my knowledge, of this being a bad idea. No idea if puppy will alert, no idea if puppy has the right personality, puppy wont be ready for work for 2-3 years, etc etc. I need to be prepared to offer a real solid advice on what he CAN do in the meantime. I know you can train your own if you find an adult with the right personality-- but how can they go about seeking a dog like that out, and what resources can they trust to help them evaluate and train the dog? They have a strong preference for bull breeds of course, being what fits into their lifestyle, so keep that in mind with your answers, that aussies or shepherds or collies or whatnot are going to be an automatic no.
