Thanks Ann - by sticky I mean the fur sticks to things - a bit like a light cobweb rather than falling off the dog so much. I think we're going to move forward with this boy. He has to get along with our wee cross breed though and he has to be gentle with her - all else pales into the background really. I think we'll introduce them this weekend! Thanks for your comments

Male GSD vs female GSD by: Ann
AS far as the male vs female, I have only had females so I really don't know. I have been told that if you get them neutered they don't mark as much and are not as aggressive.
As for the long coat...I have a long coated female and she is beautiful. It is true that they don't shed as much as the regular coat. I don't really know what you mean by "sticky". Her fur is soft. I brush her about once a week and it, to me, is no harder than any other dog. I use a pin brush and a Mars Coat King.
The only thing is you have to cut the hair between their pads which could be a little hard depending on the dog. I love my long coated GSD and would recommend them to anyone!
