I have a rottweiler/pit bull mix. He is eleven now and has never been a problem. He may be the sweetest dog on the planet. He lives with my mom now due to a year when I had an apartment I couldn't have dogs and once I bought my house she wouldn't let me have him back because he was too sweet and how do you say no to your mom.
Its pretty easy to pick. And this can really go with any dog. Pick the one that is friendly and loving when you walk in. If they are scared and timid or aggressive then that may not be the right temperament. However almost any trait can be trained into/ out of a dog but why start at a disadvantage.
Training and socializing the dog is the most important part. Dogs do not learn on their own, but if you already have a Shepard you know this.
