Hard time deciding between a GSD & a Lab?

[Tara]

I had a GSD for 11 years. He was very friendly to people in his own home. You absolutely have to choose your breeder carefully with GSDs. You live by a park, so if there's lots of other dogs there a Lab would love it. GSDs at dog parks are usually off chasing frisbees by themselves. Both dogs are going to require lots of exercise, but GSDs need mental stimulation too. Whichever you decide, make sure your puppy is temperament tested by the breeder so you know if you are getting an easy going dog or a complete spaz. A reputable breeder realizes the importance of temperament testing, especially with GSDs, so if a breeder doesn't know what it is, that's not a good sign.
