You are wise to consider holding off on another puppy until Bruno's behavior is under control. It is not necessarily true that the lunging will stop as he matures. it needs to be corrected now. You can ask your vet for a referral to a behavior specialist who can help you with this problem. And yes, female GSDs may lunge . . . as might a dog of any breed. It has more to do with the dog's temperament and training than with the breed, although a GSD would normally be more inclined to lunge than a Golden Retriever. Good luck with this!
