This is a little background detail behind the question I've posed. If anyone has been in a similar situation I'd greatly appreicate your advice!
My husband and I are thinking about getting a dog. I want a dog that will be loyal and protective of our family, but that will also be great with our future kids. We aren't planning on starting a family for a couple of years. Is it ok to get a German shepherd first? So many of the things I've found talk about socializing the dog in the puppy stage. How can we get our shepherd used to kids when we have none? Especially since toddlers are known for not being gentle with pets (i.e. tail pulling, eye poking, ear grabbing) and also are not very steady on their feet and will want to hang on the dog etc. Taking our new dog to the park or a public place will not create this interaction with others. Has anyone out there gotten the shepherd first and had kids second, and if so was everything ok?
I feel like my husband and I could both readily train the dog to respect us as the boss, I'm just afraid of how it will respond to a baby/toddler who does not know how to teach such things yet.

It depends on the individual puppy. Rottweilers and German Shepherds have some similar temperament characteristics, but also some strong differences. If you're thinking of getting one of the two, the German Shepherd will probably need more stimulation, while the Rottie will be calmer and more level.
