I'm supporting Doc. I own two American show line shepherds who are both oversized. My male, a long stock coat, is 29 1/2" and 98 lbs. lean. My bitch is 26 1/2" and 78 lbs. lean. BOTH can outrun, out-corner, and out jump the "working" shepherds in my neighborhood that participate in Schutzhund. Moreover, when my male was only a year old, the county sheriff K9 unit called on me and asked if I would be willing to sell my male to the sheriff's department to be used in their K9 unit. He's not overly aggressive -- his temperament is what a shepherd should be. Soooo, stop the bashing! I plan on getting oversized shepherds after my two pass on, maybe from the breeder whose website started this, maybe from Doc (love to talk to you), or from some other breeders that breed oversized, straight-backed shepherds that are used in therapy and SAR.
