Ahh thank you sir, an answer I was looking for. I don't mind the shedding so much, most gsds shed once a year, every day lol. Barking might be an issue, I like my dogs to sleep by my bed. Does it like long runs/walks? I use the BARF diet with dogs, I imagine that would cut down on how much it eats? How is it around other dogs/animals?
She's protective of her pack. Keep in mind she was 2yo when I got her from a horse farm so she needed training to change old habits she got from the horse farm like food aggressiveness and chasing chickens. If you get one as a puppy you will probably have an easier time. She will occasionally sleep by the bed but most nights she wants to patrol the fence line and protect the pack. We found that she is allergic to chicken food so we switched to a lamb based food. She likes walks but they are naturally nocturnal so they sleep quite a bit during the day. I'll upload a picture in a bit. She has a personality and I've always had labs before her. She's smarter and more independent than the labs I've had. I like having her around and would recommend the breed.
