I would check out a rehoming centre and be really honest about what sort of dog you want, and what commitment you can give, especially if you intend to leave it while you are at work. The behaviour within breeds is so wide it is difficult to tell if a dog of any particular breed will behave predictably at all. I have had 6 German Shepherds in my life and they have be totally different to one another.
Lots of dogs get rehomed that are perfectly fine, a good redoing centre will be able to tell if it is or it isn't. The dogs trust is my fave (I have a loyalty card!)
I currently have five dogs rehomed, four from there. I know many people who have had their heart set on a particular breed, saved up, bought it and then realised that the image they have and the dog they get are totally different.
