I love gsd's. Remember Max/Xander? The gsdX? I only had him for two days but you could tell he was very smart and he showed that he was a great guard dog.

If you do decide to get one later on...make sure you find excellent lines, or even better, get one shipped here. Canadian and american gsd's have been bred so much that some of the traits that they were bred for don't show up as much...but adoption's just as good
