Tal, what a sweet story and how very nice of you to share your dog's clean water with the other dogs. Yup, German Shepherds are exceedingly intelligent and if there's a will there's a way seems to be a large part of their personality.
bk -- Another vote for either a poodle or a Maltese. The smaller poodles do bark a lot more than the standard. Of course, the standard needs a lot more exercise -- not as much as an Australian, but a bit. The Maltese is really a cuddle bunny and relatively allergenic (not as much as a poodle, but close). Do NOT got with any terrier, especially not a Westie -- too much dander, too hyper, too stubborn.
