I never thought in my life I would own a dog, much less a German shepherd. I am only 16 months into it, but I don't think any other breed could measure up to my boy, and he is still so much a puppy. I know he will turn into an amazing dog.

If he lives a good long life, I will be in my 50's when he is gone, so I have already given the thought to asking the breeder at that time if she has one of her breeding males or females that she is ready to sell, not sure if I could do another puppy. (Of course I could, but an adult sounds so much more tempting.)

I work with a malinois at work, he is sweet and wonderful, and I have nothing but admiration for any of the Belgians. We also had a tervuren (now retired) at work and he was also wonderful. The malinois came in last night and I couldn't help but think "he sure is small" (compared to Hank.) LOL

Hopefully we are several years out from another dog, given that Koshka is a pup and Krissie is only 2. But I can see another GSD as easily as any other breed. The PB dogs I've had are a Sheltie, a Lab, a Pit, a Sharpei, a Chow, and Huskies. So I would like to branch out into some other breeds along the way. Some that I want to have at some point include Akita, Rottie, Dobie, Anatolian, Irish Wolfhound, and probably a Border or an Aussie. And that is the short list!! I do think we'll want another GSD after the enjoyment we already have from Koshka.

I'm torn between getting a working line gsd as my next dog (one that has stable calm nerves and is protective rather than a prey monster) or a mastiff of some sort - either a cane corso or a boerboel. Thats if we end up on property like we intend to.. if we end up in suburbia then any pound dog with a stable calm nature and moderate energy level would be ideal (apart from a fluffy slipper type dog, they just don't do it for me).

I love all dogs, so whatever catches my eye or needs to be rescued I do enjoy my shepherd and I adore my golden retriever, so its possible I will stick with those breeds. I have 3 dogs right now and I would like to eventually get a fourth and with the order they are in, it will be a pound puppy or golden next, then a shepherd again...I have to rotate them

I'm not sure, I think I'd like something calmer with less prey drive. That could mean just getting a german shepherd from a different line, though. There's a lot of other breeds I like though, so I might give them a try.
