My 6.5yo GSD male passed on May 1 of this year. He had been with me from age 8 weeks.
I have reached the point where I am ready for a new dog again. I have not decided whether I will start with a puppy or possbily an older rescue/adoption.
My male was from Fleischerheim kennel stock obtained from a private owner. Argos and I only did obedience training. I may want to do search and rescue training with the new dog. I am not interested in protection work and am really seeking another GSD for pet/companion/exercise and hiking.
With regards to adoption, there are some environmental factors of importance. I only list the most important factors; an adoption will need to be of a dog that can co-exist with other dogs and/or small children as I have a large network of family and friends. Of course, ultimately I am responsible for controlling the enviroment.
Sorry to hear about your GSD! It sounds like you should be able to find exactly what you want in a rescue, a lot of them may have the energy you want and the rescue should know their personalities as far as sociability with people/animals/kids. I think adult dogs are better to evaluate for that than puppies. Petfinder.com
