Thank you for your post and the time you are taking to research the breed. The biggest concern I had, and it kind overshawdowed the rest was the issue of shedding. German Shepherd Dogs SHED and they shed A LOT. Honestly, if you've never had one you will likely be shocked by the sheer amount of hair comming off the dog everday. If thats going to be a problem right off the bat than I would consider another breed.

Best wishes and welcome to the boards!
