What kind of dog could this be?

    Same with white shepherds.  Some of the sites advertise "big boned white puppies"...  I guess theyre also breeding for size...?  Or it may be a type of white.. not sure.

    I saw a "giant schnouzer"  (I know I spelled thatw rong I dont feel like looking it up) in the pet store the other day.  It was beatiful so I asked what it was.  Huge!

    Sadly, some fools are following the "bigger is better" theory in some of the large breed dogs, as well as the itty bitty teeny weenie is sooooo cute in some of the smaller breeds.  You just can't mess with genetics like that and expect a good outcome.

    Pumaward - The picture looks just like the dog although the fur looks softer and a bit longer.  I guess I was thinking of the tail in regards to the samoyed I'd had.  It was very rare that her tail wasn't curled up.  Anyway - I'm guessing it was a shepherd (thanks for the spelling correction Xeph) that was just bred on the giant size.  I swear you could've put a saddle on this dog [:D].

    Glenda, have you ever posted a picture of your girl on here before?  I'd sure love to see her...[:)] There's a gorgeous one that a guy brings to the dog park once in a while but the dog is so aggressive most people leave when he shows up.  The dog is huge; I'm guessing close to 100lbs.  I know he's intact and I saw him get into it with a big Weimeraner, also intact.  It was not pretty. Christi

    This is THE most hilarious site I have ever seen! It claims that white GSD's are 'smarter' than black and tans, and that wolves knew this so they didnt mess with them!!
    ROFLMAO [sm=rotfl.gif]
     
      The White German Shepherd line was saved by intelligent beings that saw that they were more intelligent than the Black and Tans. The Muscular Big Bone Whites were able to take on any dog breed or even fight off hungry wolves that attacked the herds that they protected, the regular sized Black and Tan German Shepherds became so much more food for starving wolves. Since the Big Whites were more intelligent than the Black and Tans they were abled to fight off six or more wolves at a time. The wolves knew that any regular Black and Tan or any other common dog would be confused by an organized attack and so never feared them and looked at them as so much more meat for the Pack. A pack of six wolves could not beat a lesser number of these big white dogs.


     
    Anyone who wants a good laugh read this page. I find it ridiculous I mean, its like people, whites are not smarter than blacks, hispanics are not smarter than chinese, nor is any race smarter than another simply for being a certain color

    I honestly didnt readit before posting it just copied the first few sites that came up when I searched White GSDs.  Your posts made me go read it though. 
     
    Its a matter of opinion I suppose.  I dont know much about the breed so I cant say anything on its validity.
     
    Glenda - The giant schnouzer was huge and very pretty... but I agree with you on breeding for size.  People seem to have decided long ago that they could just make whatever they want out of them.

    What if it was a mix?  The other day this huge, mostly white dog, was wandering around my driveway.  It had blue eyes and large pointed ears.  He easily reached my hip when standing.  The shelter I took him to brought up his info and gave me his owners' address so I could return him.  Turns out he was a wolf/shepherd mix.  Cool, huh?  He was the gentlest dog I have ever met.

    Yup...130-150lb Ridgies are being bred, as well as "Teacup" Yorkies and Miniature Huskies (alaskan klee kai) and Miniature Aussies.  Way to go...they can certainly to their jobs at those sizes.
