It sounds like a trade-off to me. If you want the dog bad enough, you’ll make adjustments. Some dogs, though, are better left admired and loved from a distance.
I don’t know if I could ever house a dog that large, though I wouldn’t mind a neighbor who has one. ;o]
I grew up around larger variants of German Sheppard. Duke and Maximilian were both 125-130lbs dogs. Wonderful members of our family.
