Peston,
I would be absolutely bored with a dog that did not have the kind of
energy it takes for a fine quality working dog. But I can only imagine what this
type of dog would do if not worked and exercised regularly. I also augment my
program with a good diet and I find that is a big help at keep him balanced
in the head as well as healthy physically. A working dog is what he is .....full
of energy and adventure, but I also see the loyalty and courage.
This is not the dog for everyone, but to those of us who love this type of dog,
we could not own anything else. The thing you also look for is a good mind.
Your dog must respect you no matter how his temperament runs.

Mainlymax, I agree completely. But this is likely true for any GSD with correct temperment. The book by Von Stephanitz shows his working GSDs to be docile at the end of the day or mid-day laying down with baby deer and other animals, and yet his dogs had very correct temperament and were high energy sheep herding dogs. I have had a high energy WL dog from top rated parents in Sch trials in Germany in years past who was a great 24/7 in home pet after the first year and about 200 nyla bones, but he did require daily exercise in a large back yard at least a couple times and regular walks. He was calm and easy going but quick to alert, good around kids and family but a potent home protector. V Eagle of Eichenluft was this type of GSD and was a top Sch competitor and had great conformation. He was a credit to the breed and a very, very worthy GSD.
