Is a swiss shepherd right for me?

I really want to make the right decision.

I've been playing around with gemini but i i want a reality check

I have axial spondyloarthritis (bechterew disease). My routine would be. 1hr/1.5hr off leash walking in the forest in the morning. At around 06.00/07.00

A 30min/1hr hangout at the dogpark at around 13.

A 3mile 1hr walk throughout the city in the at 17.00

22.00 15 minutes peebreak at night

But because of my disease

I wont be doing much after i return from our walks home.

I lay in bed mostly. I even play videogames.

And im worried that a swiss would demand bark or demand my attention

Im up for cuddles and all that.

Im also down to add structured play time in the house. (Tug of war)

But yeah

The weird part is

If i where to do it

I would be constantly training so in a non structured way. Constantly rewarding good calm attentive behavior

And i would be raising her from pup

And this exites me so much

Because when i was younger (m35) i never knew anything much else other then sit stay wait. And i would like to teach my dog inductive retrieving.

But im solo. Im a hermit. I dont have friends and family.

Im planning to work 5 hrs a day for 3 days a week in the near future.

And yeah i know that when she's a pup ill be on her 24/7. But slowly try to "enforce" naps or chill out. But im worried she's going to whine me to death.

I would prepare the day with kongs and slow treat dispensers.

But i would like to teach her to not whine or demand bark. To be silent. Like an assasin or something.

And the 2nd thing is i LOVE to ride my bicycle!

Thats why this breed was reccomended

Because of the off leash recall rate (dont like wording it like this)

And because of compatibility with strotting alongside my bike.

Am i crazy? I mean after year 3 would she be willing to just hang out while i play some JRPG's. With this schedule?

Ofcourse there will be massive hikes, night adventures. But its mostly walking exploring.

And biking.

I also wanna mention that if when she's a pup i will take her everywhere. I want to teach her to sit with me in the city and people watch while we munch on food and drinks.

Am i crazy?

I want to teach her etiquette. Sitting and waiting while i put on the harness and leash. Sitting and waiting at all the trafficlights, when she gets food. I dont want her to be agressive. I even want to walk with her off leash in the city. And teach her the command free.
