I forgot to mention that last Saturday I went to one of their training sessions. My wife and I had a blast. He was training GSDs that ranged from basic training, all the way up to behavioral issues. Great people and got to see alot of nice gsds. Leon is mostly specialized in training working line dogs with a very high drive.
One thing I wanted to mention as I see the question keeps arising about what I am willing to do with the dog.
I am willing to dedicate lot's of time to our new dog. This dog will not only be satisfying everyone with companionship, but also our health. I want to go running with the dog four days a week, 2-3 miles a day. I am going to train with him every Saturday to every other Saturday with the club, then train a few extra days a week in my house and outside, a park, whatever it takes.
As far as who lives in our 2500sqft house. My parents live with us as they are older now and depend on my wife and I. My younger sister lives with use as well, but she is an adult. I have a yard fenced off for a dog. I also have a swimming pool in my yard, which is fenced off separately.

Only 1 thing I would suggest Frank. A secure kennel. I'm a lot more relaxed when I'm not home knowing my dogs are secure in a kennel, not loose in the backyard. That may not be as important to a lot of people, but 6' fences arent enough for me.

I live in a great neighborhood & have a 10x20 kennel in my 6' fenced yard & still don't ever leave me dogs outside if I'm not home. You never know what can happen. I guess that I am just not a trusting soul. But that's just me.
I might have found what I am looking for. This woman/breeder spoke to me for quite a while on the phone and didn't even try to sell me anything, but recommended other breeders. She was explaining about nerves and temperament. Working line and show line dogs. I think I am going to stick with a working line dog. All the dogs I have seen in the past two months (working & show line) have made me realize the difference by far.
I have noticed that the working line seem to have more nerve than a show line dog. More patience if that's what you want to call it. I have noticed that some show line dogs for example have lunged at my hand when shaking the breeders hand. Then bringing out a working line dog that would bark at me one time when about to shake the hand of the breeder and not try to take my hand off. This has happen on several different occasions.
I feel that I am actually learning new stuff and noticing more things about these different breeds.
