Research, research, and research some more. Don't jump on the first dog that becomes available.

Make sure it is a vlcak that you want (be prepared for a high energy and extremely intellignet dog). People around here have fallin in love with Luna and get interested but we spend more time talking them out of a vlcak knowing one wouldn't be right for their family.

Do you have experience with similar breeds? French line working malinois? How about DDR / Czech lined working GSDs?

Also, there is a lot of responsibility needed in the breed. The breed is new and most people don't know what it is - many people think they're a wolf hybrid or even a domesticated wolf. You dog will be an ambassador for the breed where you live.

As for having two around the same age - expect something like the Tazmanian Devil that never slows down - just a constant white tornado (we have our Luna and watch a friend's (Pongo) sometimes. Luna is about 8 months old, Pongo is about 7. Nothing is safe when they're out together - things get knocked over, pushed into, and more than once a 5 gallon water puchet spilled (full).
