Giant German Shepherds? WOW

every dog is beautiful till a cop shoots it.

It seems idiotic to me to breed them larger, The breed suffers from hip dysplasia. Poor dogs always end up crippled. If you want the perfect breed of dog you want one that is all kinds. Mutts are the best.

If not, they have obviously been bred for size. I have to wonder what kind of health problems they might have such as hip dysplasia and other joint problems.

AHHHH Dire Wolves.


But really 3 feet sitting isn't that huge, my Rottie 135lbs sits that tall.

My old boy was about as big as that

Nice looking dogs though.

These are not German shepherds they are Alsatians.
Anything other than the standard breed of German Shepherds as defined by the Germans themselves is not a German Shepherd they are Alsatians they are not thorough bred but different inbreeds.

They are real, My local vet here has one in his office. :)

For pure intimidation factor......

I thought the "German" German Shepherd has a hunched back and looks deformed to me. I've seen you tube videos where the german dogs can barely run or walk since they are bred to have that slant back. I don't like that type at all.

They are "King German Shepherds"

I had one, its recognized by Rare Breed Association.

This guy is dumb.

Shepherds are a truly awesome breed. Gentle as kittens with your children, vicious attackers with bad guys. And that is if you don't bother training them, and just socialize them nicely as puppies and treat them as a family member. A trained shepherd is a force to be reckoned with.

The hip dysplasia is a bummer. My first shepherd had it bad by eight years old, and she lived to be 13. We used chondritin and glucosamine, which seemed to help, and aspirin when it got really bad. Our second shepherd, who is now ten, comes from a bloodline of dogs selected for good hips and she is doing fabulously well. If you get a shepherd (and you should) pay the extra money or whatever it takes to get one with a documented bloodline of sound hips.

I love German Shepherds and think it is tragic.There is a separate "show breed" that is bred in such a way as to actually make the dysplasia worse.Most large breeds have that problem.

True. They are fierce-looking and can certainly BE fierce. But having owned one, I know that they mostly want to sit on you, as in full-body snuggle. When I see a Rott that big I imagine myself being crushed under a slobbery, hairy mass of dog muscle, with my face being licked. At any rate, that is what my Rottie ownership experience was like. Rotties are full-contact dogs. Shepherds lie in the corner of the room guarding their flock. Rotties sit on their flock.

No see you are another uneducated fool.
Any dog not going back to the bloodlines in Germany is not a German Shepherd it is an inbreed many bred wit Belgian Shepherds.
They are called Alsatians.
An Alsatian and a German Shepherd are 2 different things.
The only real German Shepherd is the one that goes back to the pure bloodlines in Germany.
There can not be a "breed" of German Shepherd.
There is a German Shepherd, and any different breed is an Alsatian.
You are just another one of the millions of fucking dense people who do not understand this.

Thanks for the info.They are beautiful dogs though.

Looks photoshopped to me. The angle of the wall between the mans legs doesnt look like it meets the far left wall at a 90* angle. Unless dude lives in a room with two acute and to obtuse corners.

I have a Coy/Dog that's half Huge G.S.
She looks like a big Coyote with some Shepherd features.
Her personality is all Shepherd though.
Smart, loyal, loving, playful and protective. Never leaves your side unless she has to herd one of the mini doxes we have that goes to ground and runs off.

Been there,done that and have the slobber stained t-shirts to prove it-lol!

The picture is a little misleading as The person holding the stick can not be more than 5.0 judging by the waist and the stick. I have One of these Dogs She is beautiful loyal gentle great company and fiercely protective.

Excellent point!

I just looked at their Youtube videos, and here are two of that dog
sitting with the yardstick. It looks like he truly is a big dog cause
it shows him standing next to a 6 foot tall guy at some parts







Here's a pic of the dog next to a full size couch

Are you trying to say that because a dog is big it automatically has hip dysplasia?

Got a friend with one like that....frigging dog is ENORMOUS.

Every deaf person walking across the street widdling on a stick with a pocket knife to make a few bucks so he can eat... is beautiful until a cop shoots him too....

I'm not understanding what this means, why would you think that dogs that are registered as German Shepherds not trace back to Germany but instead are mixed?
