What do the people say about my athletic, 140lbs, GSD?
I wanted some opionions on the size of my boy! He is not a possesion, but a friend. He is 140lbs, and in great health at 8 years old. I held off on nuetering him for the chance of breeding him. I had his father for 6 years before I bred him. Thats 16 years of bloodline history. I knew most of the dogs in his pedigree. Any comments?

Can you post some pictures of him? I have a hard time believing that a 140lb GSD is athletic. How tall is he? Are you guessing his weight or has he been on a scale recently?
Before anyone can comment on you breeding him, they'd have to know bloodlines, temperament, working experience, titles, medical clearances.

He is extremely over the standard. You also stated in another post that you have no health checks on him and do not plan to. Like I stated in the other post you wrote on, read the health and genetic portions of this board and learn why health testing is so important. As far as 16 years of bloodline history, you need well more than that. I know the bloodlines of both of my dogs 50+ years back.

Either he is the size of a Mastiff or a Great Dane, or he is extremely fat.
GSD's should not be over 100 pounds, if they are then they are either obese or way larger than the standard. JMO

Here are some pics. Are you saying that a linebacker in football isnt athletic because he isnt the same size as a wide reciever. He has the heart of a champion. I know he exceeds the breed standards...that wasnt up for debate.
