What you wanted in a GSD can be found in GSD's bred to the standard as far as not reacting to the stock boy or "taking on the neighborhood" Good genetics and temperament can be found within the standard.
A GSD should not be a couch potato or laid back...if you want a dog like that, go with a breed that is.
To support a breeder that doesn't breed to the standard or for lower drive is one reason this breed is deteriorating.
