I hope this comment is in the spirit of debate that you suggested; if not, since we are all soliciting opinions here, do you suggest several of us "quit" (as you stated) this forum? I certainly hope not!
My comment about misrepresentation was not directed at Doc or his dogs and does not really have to due with size. I believe form follows function. Hard working dogs are going to be smaller and thinner, pets can get away with being larger and heavier. Neither is right or wrong, it just is what it is.
