I'd personally go with the GSD. Very smart, awesome protection. They are very good family dogs. They are highly intelligent and need to be stimulated both mentally and physically or they can get into shit they shouldn't. Another thing is they shed like crazy, so be prepared for lots of brushing and vacuuming.
Right now I have an Italian Greyhound. He's cute and he's a little mush ball who constantly craves your attention, but he's also a little nightmare. The IG has broken both legs so far (they are notorious for breaking them) which cost me $8k in vet bills, and he still (after 2 years) is still not fully housebroken. They HATE going out in any inclement weather. I'm talking if the wind is blowing too hard or it's sprinkling, they don't wanna go.
