Those are some handsome GSDs. We're slated to get a GSD pup Augustish.
This was our first GSD. Just really always wanted one. I'm no expert at all, but if you've never had one--here are a few things I'd mention.

(1) Plan on getting a really good vacuum . . . they shed like absolute mad. It's never ending.

(2) The pups often go through a "land shark" period . . . they chew on EVERYTHING. Furniture, shoes . . . you. Try to redirect them to specific toys and train them on "no" or "off" or whatever. Seems like our just stopped chewing as fast as he started. But we had heard they did that and sure enough, he did. He destroyed all sorts of stuff.

(3) Be sure to get into some decent training and execise them. They are wicked smart and like to work.
