Alright so my dog Zena, a 4 year old female black and tan American shepherd is such a sissy. She is very loyal and friendly to everyone in our household. Though she has another side. Like when she sees stranger dogs outside (are front yard is fenced, and we have three other dogs), she'll raise the fur on her back, her tail will stick out straight and she'll let out this vicious bark. Though when people come over she will let out a muffled bark and hide behind furniture or under my legs. But when there backs are turned she will attempt to nip at their feet, legs, or butt :P She is also afraid of the sweeper and if it is coming in her direction she'll go ninja and leap out of the way. So my question is it normal for my German shepherd to be so fearful and aggressive towards strangers/friends (and she is also like this towards people she has seen before) Why does she do it?
Thanks

Has he/she been a confrontation?
Have you punished him/her severly?

It depends on if the German Shepherd is a purebred or not.If so then the German Shepherd is related to the Siberian Husky the Samoyed and the wolf of course.

The English Shepherd is a medium size dog ranging from 40 to 60 pounds for females and about 40 to 70 pounds for males. I believe the German Shepherd is also classified a medium size dog so you would have to take an educated guess from here.
