Souraya,

I think that all of your thoughts and questions are viable questions. I would agree that a female would probably be a better choice. As far as attention goes, you would be surprised how easily it comes to give equal attention to both. I admire you and Andrew for rescuing another baby in need. Do you want a pure GSD or a mix? I know of a real doll baby at Brown County Humane Shelter that is a mix. That's where we got Pebbles and Dio. Let us know how it goes.
