The largest PB GSD you saw - Page 4

Whiteshepherds · 01-19-2012, 04:45 PM

Our first GSD was 30" and weighed between 117-120 most of her adult life. Vet always said she could stand to lose 5-10lbs but we had a hard time keeping the weight off.

Judah is 17 months and is 30.5" at the withers. He weighs 85 lbs and looks lean but I want to keep it that way to protect his hips. I was told he was the runt of the litter. Haven't seen any of his litter mates.

This was Kodi, he was 32" at the shoulders and I kept him a lean 125lbs, the breeder was mortified, (and frankly I was a tad surprised he got that big)..Loved him to death, but kinda missing a few brain cells

)

This is an old old xmas card I had of Sami (female /rescue,) Jake (within standard

And Kodi the "mutant" Both Sami and Jake were 26" at the shoulders, and you can kinda see the size difference

This thread got me to thinking, so I measured Hondo. He is between 28" and 29". It's difficult to tell because of all his hair.

On the other hand, Maggie is only 7"......

Ditto (female) is nearly 80lbs and 27" at the withers. She's the biggest I've seen. She's above the standard but I'm sure there are dogs that are much larger than her. My mom saw a male from her parents (past litter) and she said he was huge.

Well, this is comforting to hear. I am tired of listening to stories about the 120 lbs females and 140 lbs males, all lean, of course. It was surprising that after handling all these rescue dogs I have not run into any.

My old guy, Kaiser, was about 30" and 110-115 pounds in his prime. He had a commanding presence back then but really was a big ol teddy bear. I think his head was the biggest part of him!
