If you are really truly looking for the best dog for you, then speak with a
local obedience trainer about what suits your lifestyle...and then use them
after you get the puppy. Or speak to your vet. And don't discount the
rescue breed chapters for a suitable adult dog...there are acres of books on
the subject. The best books on training puppies are put out by the monks of
New Skete in New York, They breed German Shepards in particular but there
books are aimed toward the generic. And if the dog is going to be left on
its' own, make sure you crate train.
