Maybe if in a really humid environment, but generally German Shepherds are healthy... Some of its health problems develop due to old age...
German shepherds live with their owners. Some of the best ones come from Belgium. Be careful in buying a purebred dog. Some may have bad genetics and cost you thousands in medical bills.
I think it all depends on the personality of the German shepherd. Like my dog Zena has always been around alot of dogs since she was just a puppy and since she has come to live with us since. Some dogs are more playful and social than others while some are loners and anti social. Both German shepherds we've owned have been very social so German shepherds could possibly be social butterflies.
Some people think that pit bulls are more protective than German Shepherds. Some people think that German Shepherds are more protective than pit bulls. It all depends on the person and their opinion.
In the case of many German Shepherds, its domain would be anything it is protecting or guarding. For some German Shepherds that is a home and family. For others, it could be patrolling an airport while sniffing out drugs and explosives.

German Shepherds may dig holes out of boredom, to hide toys or bones, to create a cool spot to lay in, or to try to escape. It is a natural behavior for some dogs, but can also be a sign of anxiety or lack of exercise.
i put some in eggs when i scramble them and my dog eats it, and she is still alive.
German Shepherds live on average from 13-15 (human years), but its not uncommon for some to live up too, and in some rare cases over 20 years. Just give it lots of exercise, protein filled dog food and lots to drink, with a bit love in the mix, yours will live for a long time!
