Hmmm, I am obsessed about Mignon GAINING weight I know. I want her to gain another lb and I work hard at it.
BUT this is what I have learned when I go out. I have more MEN asking me how much my GSD weighs and more women asking how much my yorkies weigh. And in all honesty when I take my German shepherd and yorkies to the dog mall I am asked by far more men about my dogs weight than women. He IS a big boy at 125 but he isn't a freak.
When I went to a dog parade last year I went with a gf last year, she got ALOT of attention with her HUGE mastiff.
As far as the breed standard Kim, go on any purebred dog forum, you will find the same thing. When you buy a dog you would like for it to have some physical characteristics of the breed, that is what you paid for and what originally attracted you to that dog. You could not possibly know all the charming things about a dogs personality etc before living with them. |
