suprisingly that is a male czech, some of them are larger boned because a lot of czech have german working (ddr) in them, and vice versa. and to be honest I love all of the gsd types except american and UK showlines. if I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between german show and german working. I prefer the bigger bones, more muscular looking dogs. but in females I do prefer a more feminine look, most german show and working line females look more like that czech male. I guess thats why I dont like the czech as much, Im more used to the german lines and the czechs (even males) look like german females.
I liked the look on the Native American Indian Dog, and it's character traits. But it said it needed a cage, and I dont like that. Plus I'm liking the Shepherd more and more. I just need to stop thinking about Huskies and Wolfdogs, and then things will become easier. So a German Shepherd from a German Working line, and as black as I can get, will be my choice. That was your suggestion right, or was it Czech?

it depends on which type you prefer. the czech is a bit more hyper than the german lines, but compared to the malinois it is a lazy couch potatoe. you can easily find a great quality dog that is exactly what you want (or as close as possible) in german working or show lines, czech working or showlines.
when you ready to seriously start looking for THE dog, contact rinus and he will find it for you. it may not be one of his, but he knows a ton of breeders and trainers and has 1000 times as many connections as I do. when I got strider from him he didnt charge me shipping, from belgium to louisiana. and I had almost decided on a different dog when he told me about strider (dior van corsalabroek is how Rinus knows him), the other dog wasnt one of his and he wasnt going to charge me a finding fee. a lot of kennels, breeders and importers charge a finding fee which can range from $500-$2,000 or more. he wont steer you wrong, try to convince you to get this dog when you really want that dog, and he wont overcharge you.

It needs a cage? The page says it doesn't like cages. Well, suit yourself. GSD are great dogs and seem to fit your requirements 
I might have missunderstood that. But I intent to have the dog inside when we aren't outside together. Thats what I meant.

it means that they cant be trusted off leash, and if not given enough excercise they will tear the place apart. I have heard of a few people who ket them, elderly people in apartments, and they did fine. they just need a lot of excersise and they are deffinetly not a beginner dog. very smart but they are hwat is known as a pariah breed. a semi wild, semi domestic dog like the carolina dog and the dingo. they can be good pets, but they can also survive with humans. and they are extremely independant.
I think you have a good choice with the gsd. after training one or two (even while you have one) and have experience with training, by all means do more research into other breeds like the wolf dogs, indian dogs, huskies etc. or you might fall totally in love with the gsd breed and never want anything else.
