GSD's are a rather loyal but sensitive breed, they do need firm but fare training in the correct way rather than a negative approach. They can also be very protective and territorial, but when or what is excepted they usually except it as well. They usually love being with their people and they also love working and trying to please you.

Also show or working lines can also play a big part in the overall temperament of the dog. I would say shows bred GSD's are more softer and working lines are feistier, usually with nerves of steel if they are from a good source.

They are prone to hip dysplasia and bloat, but you never know really even if you go to a very experienced, brilliant top of the range breeder.
I just want to know what its like living with one!! Experiences! I understand the pro's and con's etc

And i would definately be getting a GSD from working lines if i have to buy. I would want a straight back and low hip scores etc etc

What do you find the best foods for them? How much excercise for your own dog? (I know they need a lot once they are mature, and i also know not to excercise them too much as pups due to bone formation etc) I have an ESS so am well used to pretty much endless physical and mental stimulation LOL!!

Is your calm in the house? Did you find it easy to train/mostly easy?

Really i want personal experiences!!
