Anonymous Coward User ID: 1343936 Australia 04/28/2011 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: BarbiThese 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. |
AnalyticalMind User ID: 1302099 United States 04/28/2011 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey someone had posted a pic on here a few days ago of this dog Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1255709[link to www.pioneergermanshepherds.com] I went to their website and it looks like they have other dogs next to yardsticks too [link to www.pioneergermanshepherds.com] Are these for real or are they photoshopped? Anyone ever see a purebred German Shepherd this big before? I want one! They are real, My local vet here has one in his office. :) "You'd better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy, or it's your funeral." Edgar Frog - The Lost Boys |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1280680 United States 04/28/2011 07:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: KrimmyShepherds 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1280680 United States 04/28/2011 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1182218 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. |

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. |

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. |
