I don't have a dog, but I still would like to answer this one.
I would love to have a German Shepherd someday (if I ever live in a house), because I had one before when I lived in Brazil. His name was Einstein and I chose him when he was just a baby. He was an absolute darling and very beautiful and I adored him. Einstein unfortunately was shot and killed by the guy who worked for my father, tending to the land. He shot Einstein because he was always pestering the chickens, and occasionally killed one. He didn't seem to understand that, even though Einstein was big, he was still a baby and, with some discipline, would eventually grow out of it, just like the other dogs had.
Anyway, It still hurts me to think of Einstein (that guy was fired, by the way) and I would just love to have another German Shepherd someday. I don't know what I'd name him; I'd probably have to meet him first.
