In one of his other videos he said that his DDR dogs would be about 115 pounds and that this was normal. Weren't DDR German shepherds still held to the same standard as any other GSD? Or did they somehow have a different standard that allowed for dogs to be that big?

OP this thread has a LOT of good info on the DDR type dog
https://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/bloodlines-pedigrees/724458-origin-ddr-type.html
The guy in the video was just pontificating, DDR or East German dogs are not "throwbacks" to anything...

It was weirdly hypnotic, like the weather channel!You actually watched the whole thing >
first in Canada to use DDR stud - before there was a provision for registreation
spent two years doing paper work jumping through hoops and then it all fell into place.
that dog was Grando Mecklenburger Buffel Grando Mecklenburger Buffel
bred to Ulf h Iris Ulf vom Haus Iris
bred to Klockow's Lex Klockow's Lex
owned and bred to Damon vom Banach Damon Carmspack
owned and bred to Akut Lablapega Akut Lablapega
owned Linda Kuhnhof Linda vom Kuhnhof
still have "Avery" who was imported from Sandokan kennels Germany to USA where her first owner
filled in the paper work with this name Airdrie Hill vom Schmetterling
recently had Parchimer Land's Chiba Chiba vom Parchimer Land
owned some young prospects brought in by "Kavanagh" -- one great little male failed to drop testicles
ended up as a PPD for a recording artist
had some others hand picked for custom training - so lots of experience
there were no 115 pound dogs -- ever ----

Bud was very typical of the type in appearance, heavy bone and big head, and far larger then either parent for some reason. He was a monster at around 95lbs. I did find that he was more serious, more stubborn, highly territorial and very protective. But calm and lazy are not words I would use to describe him.

Have seen the DDR dogs in old black and white training videos. Definitly NOT 115 lbs. or anywhere near it, but lots of reverse masks (which are not to standard.)
These dogs needed to be agile, and do things a 115 lb. dog could not do due to its size.
Here's a video similar to the one I once saw of the DDR dogs, but was never able to find again: The Czech border patrol dogs all have DDR (East German) blood in their background, as well as West German.

I couldn't watch it. Got about 30 seconds in, and that was it for me. Wouldn't buy a pet hamster from these two.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for punishment.:laugh2:
OT, picked up cargo trailer yesterday @Sunsilver! On my way soon, finally!
I am a fan of DDR and Czech lines yet with all the romanticism associated to these lines, we should not forget that those videos show how these dogs were used to suppress freedom and to prevent people from escaping totalitarianism. Of course other GSDs were also used to suppress civil rights in the South. Unfortunately, GSDs as a working dog can be used as tools for the bad as much as for the good.Sunsilver;9108779 [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRBergQAhm0" said:

Wish you the BOL with your move, Sabis! Moves are stressful, especially long distance moves! And towing a trailer just adds to the stress!
