Hahaha he sounds like a cracker! Thank you everyone for such great suggestions

Am thinking more of a medium-high energy dog now though rather than a high-very high. 

Thank you so much, a stable temperament is very high up on my list of priorities and have heard a lot of questionable things about the temps with the dalmatians being bred today. Do pointers tend to be a bit aloof?

Hi I am looking for some advice.

I currently own a 3 year old female cattle dog and am looking to bring a new pup into my life. I am looking into what breeds would be 
suitable for my lifestyle. I run daily and have done a lot of obedience training with some agility, i also spend quite a bit of time down at the 
beach and on bush hikes. I would prefer a larger breed of dog that i could actively engage with daily and so i am currently researching 
German Shepherds but i would love and really appreciate any other suggestions or feedback
