I have (and recommend) a Belgian Tervuren. Less genetic issues than GSD, owner-focused so no worries of running off like a husky. They are working dogs, so they're biggest downside is you need to work them. Every day, preferably. Fur isn't as bad to deal with as you think, brush every week or two and it won't get bad.
I would also thumbs up GSPs, Border Collies, and Aussie Sheps
