Hi Sandman,
A friend's Australian Shepherd weighed in at 180 pounds.
http://www.----------.com/temp/greenMonster.jpg Picture doesn't do him
justice, but I verified the weight on the family scales.

Yeah, the people around here had me fooled too. I thought they were
"regular folks", but it turns out some of them are just as sick as the crack
heads you left behind. Wait until you ask them for help, and you want them
to go one inch out of their way to do it. All of a sudden, you won't exist

I think you may safely say most Kalifornians are useless. Hope

Re: the reported bear attack
 

That is a shame. Your scars are unfortunate reminders of that incident, and
I'm sorry it happened to you, but it wasn't the fault of the dog.
GSD's are the exact product of their environment and upbringing.. German
Shepherds love children by nature, and one that bites a child, wasn't
properly trained. Simple as that. My grandson at Christmas reached down the
throat of my "Zeke" to "get his cookie back". Zeke wouldn't think of ever
biting that child.

I could not kill a dog that did something like that, when it was I that had
failed, and not the dog.

I've had GSD's for 40 of my 42 years. (5 total dogs, plus a new puppy now )
Two well trained police K-9's among them.

Re: the reported bear attack
 

So sorry! I believe you missed something not growing up with your
own pup, this one protected me until I was fifteen or sixteen:
http://www.----------.com/temp/tynia.jpg She was the runt of the litter,
and I named her Tiny, which sounded like Tynia to my parents. the lower
pictured with my best friend just after we bleach our heir in the surfer
style of the day. He was killed in Vietnam, they still make me cry.

Re: the reported bear attack
 

Having been bitten "accidentally" by a German Shepherd that knew me well, I
still have to agree with you. They can freak out, if they are not trained
properly, when they are put in a situation that they can't handle, but that
is hardly their fault. I wouldn't have one, because I wouldn't have the
patience for it, but more power to those who do.
