As most of you know, my other breed (original breed) is Dalmatians and they are an awesome combination to GSDs. Not dissimilar in many ways - smart, family devoted, wonderful guard dogs, shed a lot, puppies need lots of socializing and will run the house of given the opportunity. Best thing about Dals in the show ring is a novice-owner-handler, with a good dog can finish it easily and beat the handlers!
