I'm looking into a few different breeds as possibilities of a new dog in the future. I most likely will not be seriously looking for another 6 months to a year, but I'm trying to do my homework. I figured I could just throw out a few things here, to my friends with a wealth of information.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with or meet any of these? I like giant schnauzers, Black Russian terriers, or Airedale terriers. The main criteria is that they are working breeds with a reputation of intelligence plus they don't shed. I have a pretty active lifestyle and I love to include my dog in everything I can. So these seemed like good candidates. Not going to lie though, I also feel like there is a slight novelty to these ones as well.
Are there maybe other choices I have over looked that could be a good fit?
What size is your current dog, Ethan, don't know if you're plannning to have 2 of similar size or different? -- As someone else already said, a Giant Schnauzer is quite a bit bigger than an Airedale (both require significan grooming, but I would say a GS sheds More)... Here in my area, BRT have the reputation of being SHARP and tending toward Human-Aggression, so they would definitely NOT be recommended for a relatively Inexperienced owner
It sounds like you want a terrier-sort, but have you ever thought of a Chesapeake?
Not, not, not a lab or a golden retriever. They are not completely non-shed, but they don't shed much at all.
Big, strong, can be fierce, smart. Very territorial. A thinking dog.

Currently I have a 3 yr old mini schnauzer (jake) and a 1 1/2 yr old standard schnauzer (Emma). Jake is an excellent dog. But we're still workin with Emma. My wife will graduate in the spring and we should have a bigger place by the summer and I will have more time to invest but as for now I have plenty of time to shop around. I preferred the breeds in the OP because of the tendency to be alert to strange people. I would rather not have a dog that is people oriented. One that can be protective of the family or property and bc it will be inside I like the low shed ones too

Particularly since you already know a lot about Schnauzers in general -- IMHO, go for a Giant !!!
