yea thats the same with my dog, gets very protective with me, he wont let anyone get near me. if i tell him to get someone he will lol. the guy that im gettin my rednose from he's only chargin me like 250...he's a good breeder too, the stud and the female are really good lookin and have they have good temperments. so hopefully i'll have a new puppy in about 3 months.
