Humans with large dogs- any special things I should know?

You may or may not know that I’ve been trying to talk my husband into a new dog since we had to put ours to sleep last Halloween.

He fell in love with a super sweet German Shepherd mix today and we adopted him on the spot. Hilarious, since I’d been wanting a really small dog, haha!

Is there anything I should know about large dogs in general, or German Shepherds specifically?

I’m a dog mom again, hooray!
