I would ask for references from the breeder. You need to know what kind of temperament these dogs have a history of developing. GSD's are very beautiful and intelligent dogs when bred properly but bad breeding can cause the pups to have temperament issues. There are also some health issues that have been found in the GSD. Being on the AKC website does not guarantee you anything. They have a classified section that anyone who breeds AKC pups can use. If you are going to bring a pup that will grow to that size into your home you need to get as much information as you can about the background. You are going to need to do some intense obedience training as well.
You have your work cut out for you. Maybe start out by buying some well made, very tall metal gates to gate your GSD pup away from your Yorkie. GSD pups grow fast. They are energetic just like any other pup but their size can cause a serious accidental injury to your little dog.
