Irish WOlfhounds are really tall, long dogs....I have seen these at a dog show long time ago and fell in love...INstead, my family chose a Giant Snauzer....Unless you have a big yard, the I.Wolfhound is not the dog for you(or anyone)....These guys are miniture horses and love open space....Between the I.W. and German SHepard, I would have to vote for the German SHep
.....
.....I would love to own a wolfhound. I have owned various large breeds. Great Dane, Fila Brasilero, American Bulldog. There are things that go with having large breeds but if you have owned a Dane you should be well versed in those.
Currently I have a Mastiff that crossed with a Mountain Cur. It is the most incredible beast of a dog. Very athletic. Very intelligent.

Get the hound more differnt GSD o wow i have never seen a GSD before -_- hound is better as long as you have room and sounds like you know what you are talking about so get the hound.
Irish Wolfhound will have similar requirments to your dane. Since Dane is actually Irish Wolfhound x Mastiff.
I would go Irish Wolfhound because you don't see them often and well I'd love to have one myself. But realize it's a dog with much longer hair that has to be kept in check.
