Having owned a previous Rottweiler and two GSDs in my life, I guess I will comment. German Shedders is what my husband and I affectionately call the GSD as they are horrible shedders. My rott never shed near as bad. My GSD is extremely intelligent and will use any chance she can to try and outsmart you. But my first GSD was about as dumb as a bunch of rocks, no thinking ability in him at all. The rotten one was a smart yet stubborn dog much more than even my current GSD who can be quite the jacka$$ at times. Both of my GSDs have required alot more exercise, although the one I own now is almost to the point of being hyper. My rottie was a big kisser with me, my GSD is not. My rotten could be quite the cuddler at times, my GSDs were not hardly ever. The rotten one didn't seem to think as indepentdently as my GSDs did and do. I must say, all in all, I have found this past GSD the hardest to care for as she demands alot of strenous activity. But the easiest to care for was my first GSD. I believe alot depends on the dog itself and what sort of drives/temperment it has inherited. I am and will always be a GSD person through and through but I hold a very special place in my heart for the rotten ones and will own one again someday. ;)
