Why can't we all just agree to disagree.

She can have oversized shepherds if she wants to, it's a free country. What bugged me was the Old Fashioned statement and why in the world there is a need to breed such oversized and heavy Shepherds in the first place. That, however, doesn't mean that these Shepherds are not healthy.

From what I have learned, in all these years, fast growing, heavy weight Shepherds are not really that healthy BUT it doesn't mean that it has to be like that. We don't know for sure.

Some of us love the healthy, standard sized (up to 65 cm), not overweight, slim, fit and athletic German Shepherds and other like that oversized and big Shepherd...

So why don't we all agree to disagree before it's turning more and more into a flamewar. That was not the intention of that topic!
