BRAG! How BIG is your female? - Page 2

If you go to their profile and look at their previous adds AND go to their website, it explains it all.

Why are people "bragging" about not being in breed standard? Why don't you just say "Hey, look at my fat, nonconforming, going to die at a young age, waiting for joint problems, female". My female is 2.5 years old and 85 lbs and she is very lean. I am in no way proud of her being so large and I do everything I can to keep her very lean so she doesn't have health problems in the future. It is sad to see people do this to the breed.

That's not something I would brag about . . . 

They have a male up for stud service who weighs 150 lbs.....  He looks on the fat side, but still, he's way over the standards as well.   http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/classifieds/146972.html

My female is 8 years, 52lbs but no one messes with her!

What's next? Giant GSD's? This is obviously an  uneducated BYB breeder bragging about what uneducated BYB's traditionally brag about - breeding over-sized dogs. 

LOL. Every time someone asks me how big one of mine is (Caleb) I *sheepishly* tell them he's a hair under 100lbs- and then I scramble to explain that he is extremely lean, a hair over height standard (1/2- 1inch) but very very heavy-boned and that I am in no way thrilled at his size, though I wouldn't trade him for a million dollars and a genie in a bottle. I love him despite his size, not because of it. 

On the flipside, I used to get FURIOUS at people for putting Qira down, who is a perfectly middle-sized gorgeous girl at right around 6-65lbs (she looks much lighter than she is, again, due to bone). 

People are idiots. I use those kind of questions as part of my screening process. I have had people call, all enthused about a pup from Capri (who everyone thinks is a male) and then when they ask me how much she weighs and I answer 72lbs, they get disappointed and say she's "tiny." I politely (or not, depending on my mood that day) tell them that the German judge who did her koer must not know what he's talking about, since the first three words on her Koerschien are "large, powerful, and substantial." 

I feel so sorry for the dogs I see on the street who are so fat, just so their pathetic owners can say theirs (dog) is bigger than yours. 

Wow! People are ridiculous to take something that was meant in a midly joking manner out of context. Instead you had to turn into an attack. Won't be posting here again. How sad.

But it didnt come out as a "mildly" joking manner. And when there are ads trying to stud out your EXTREMLY oversized male that kinda says you want everyone to know that you have oversized Shepherds and are proud of it.

I am honestly sick and tired of people posting stuff and "bragging" about this oversized dog or that oversized dog and then getting PISSED off when you dont get the answer that you want.You are on a board of people who love there dogs and are trying to maintain the "breed" standard to which obviously you dont give two shits about.
 

Sorry we offended you, but honestly, YOUR post is offensive to those of us who struggle to raise and breed PROPER German Shepherds. And asking how big and asking for pictures does not strike me as "mildly joking." Sorry if we misunderstood. Enlighten us with your standard-meeting GSDs and stick around.
