I am finishing up my MA right now and having Stark during this time has been great! Even when he is being a butthead...lol.

I do have classes four days a week, but most run no longer than a couple of hours at a time. I am always home with him it seems, which is great!

I have no experience with other breeds (grew up with GSD's) but I think this time in your life, if you are financially able and mentally committed to care for these dogs then go ahead!

I went with a reptuable breeder because I wanted to ensure that I had a healthy dog, no hidden health issues that could pop up, especially in a older dog. I wanted to ensure that my dog was from good bloodlines, healthy parents (physcially and mentally), and that I got the perfect match (let the breeder choose), I got all those things and couldn't be happier!

Good luck!
