To me, it sounds like you have not done enough research to acquire a GSD/Alsation. These dogs are a powerful breed. You have to be a leader and constantly work and train these dogs. They take a lot of effort, and like most people who didn't do the research end up finding that these dogs were too much for them. I don't intent to discourage you from getting a GSD as they are wonderful dogs, but please further your research to make sure a GSD is right for you and to get the right lines and temperment. As far as the gender thing goes, I would get a male. They're more aloof, and what others call "Goofy", and in my opinion easier to train.
