Well it finally happened...

I took Kopper in to the vet this morning to find out why he's been limping. I put him on the scale and it said 45lb. Another lady in the waiting room asked how old he was. When I told her 5 months, she said, "Hopefully they can find out what's wrong with him. My brother's female Shepherd is 90lb at six months."

After she left, the receptionist and I just rolled our eyes.

OMG, some people just don't have a clue!

Oh boy... 90 pounds at half a year... that is disgustingly oversized.

I love "one uppers". And people that speak and have no idea what they are talking about...

Hope Kopper is okay...

I can't count how many times that has happened to me at the vet's office! It must be some right of passage of sorts for standard GSD owners.

Did she what kind of shepherd?

Anatolian Shepherds are quite large from what I gather.

good point.... i think people tend to throw shepherds all in the same catagory breedwise sometimes.

My in-laws have an Anatolian. He's 125lb as an adult. I don't think a female Anatolian should be 90lb at six months either.
