Only think I'd say is you'll probably get a very intelligent extremely high drive puppy. So hope you've found a great place to go to official training for the next few years WITH the puppy, and plans for hours/miles of exercise each week with it!
May be quite the handful for a first time GSD puppy owner BUT if you have great help and guidance weekly from a good trainer. And, this is the part we are all worried about SOCIALIZATION OF THE PUPPY WITH PEOPLE, PLACES, OTHER PUPS.... will be key so the dog can continue to be a part of your life and not have to be quarantined at home cause you aren't 100% sure he won't accidentally nail someone he decides is too close......

I agree with Maggie, honestly, if you've never had a gsd before, this might be to much dog for a first time owner or it could be the best dog you've ever had.
I have a slovak/ddr/czech female who is almost 3, love her to death, but I don't think she would have been a good candidate for a first time owner who may be unprepared for the 1. amount of energy and 2. the time required to keep her from getting bored. I also have the luxury of being able to spend ALOT of time with my dogs, and am not a first time owner ![]() A good way to tell if a dog is right for you, is to be honest with exactly what you want to LIVE with, because in the end the dog will be living within your household more than the training and or activities you want to do.

ive had an american line shepherd before i guess some people dont consider them real shepherds
i have also had a doberman before i visted a few working kennels ive seen some dogs that would be too much and some dogs that would be great the breeder said the dog would be great for a novice which is why i was so interested the only issue is they live really really far away |

Has the breeder not socialized the puppy? I'd worry about taking a six month old with the genetics for being sharp/reactive that has not already been crazy socialized from an early age.
