GSDs are very headstrong dogs as you are seeing, and it's great that you have done obedient walk training with your GSD! It's not in their blood that they always try to pull on the leash, as not all GSDs will pull, but they are very energetic dogs. Given that your dog still isn't behaving correctly 100% of the time on the leash, I would wait to adopt another GSD until yours in under control fully on the leash. That will make it easier for you to handle walking two of them at the same time :-)
