gentle giants german shepherds of arizona

SilverBuck · 02-27-2013, 09:48 PM

Hi, ive tried searching and have found no help, so i just made this thread.

Now i know some are avid defenders of the gsd breed and argue that the oversized breeding of them is looked down upon.
Well Ive already made up my mind on either going to royalair or gentlegiants of arizona.

My question is does anyone have one of their pups?
What size do they get at gentlegiants? Is it really going to be "oversized" or is it just going to be a little bit bigger than the show lines?

Any feedback on oversized breeders is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you've looked at the breed standard which covers the ENTIRE breed, not just showlines, anything over that is oversized. General thing is any GSD over 100lbs is considered oversized. To my knowledge, none on this board have a dog they intentionally got oversized from either breeder. You won't find many supporters on this board for dogs over standard. Theres a reason the standard is in place. Good luck in your search. I would ask the breeders for references and if they have any previous buyers who would be happy to speak with you.

It sounds pretty much like a done-deal. I don't know of anyone with their dogs, but then I am way up here in SnowLand. Could you explain what it is you are looking for and what you like about these breeders in particular.

I think Minnieski and Ruby Tuesday have Royalair Shepherds?

Actually many of us have large dogs intentionally we just keep our mouths shut because we don't want to be jumped on.

My boy is from Arizona but not from Gentle Giants. When he was younger he weighed 92#'s. Lately that has dropped and we are trying to figure out why. He is 11 years old now though.

Are you in Arizona? I would pick the kennel that is nearer to where you live, so that you can go see the dogs for yourself.

Well I did say none to my knowledge.

Do you mean "oversized BREEDERS?"? (that could be considered kind of rude!)

If you have already made up your mind to get a GSD so purposedly not bred to the standard - good luck to you!

At least you realize that is is wrong to do something so against the GSD standard!

My puppy is from German Shepherd Puppys Arizona. Their website is www.germanshepherdpuppiesarizona.com. I was really happy working with JD.
