[ElvisP]

I had an encounter at a lake in Arizona this past weekend. I was walking Elvis on the lake shoreline and some older people from out of the US came paddling up in the kayak's and loved my Elvis. I told them that he'd probably max out at 90-100 lbs and their remark was "Oh, he is going to be a tiny boy then."

They said they were GSD people. I told them my former GSD, King, was 125 lbs and they stated that he was on the small side too. King was a large boned GSD ... big, lean but very muscular.

These people gave me the impression that they are used to much larger GSD's so it's possible that 150+ lb GSD's do exist. In my life, I have seen one extremely giant GSD ... he had to have weighed in at at least 150-170 lbs (a complete guess but he was huge). I'm sure these dogs exist but that is too big in my opinion for a GSD ... that's my opinion anyway.

P.S. I'm very sorry for your loss.
