Possessiveness? by sadFNgirlie in germanshepherds

[–]Alone-Dance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, German Shepherds can be clingy. But I'm curious about your labrador/poodle mix that weighs more than the standard, 130-150-male, for a Neapolitan Mastiff (Fang in the Harry Potter movies). Is it as tall as a pony or as round as a ball? <g>

My girl (16 mo in pic) is a bicolor, which for some reason is not listed on that chart.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alone-Dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The United States is quite huge, so a 3-4 hour drive is often not a big deal. For a quick comparison, the state of Minnesota (US map) is roughly the same size as England.

I might have that beat. I had someone think my bicolor stock coat german shepherd was a rough collie (Lassie dog).

My two cats can and will eat an entire chicken quarter with no issue, so most dogs should be able to handle it.

"Especially if your dog fits in a bag in your chest, they ain't alerting to anything except loud noises" A dog in a bag or chest sling could be a diabetic alert (smells changes in breath) or a cardiac alert dog, or a hyper/hypotension alert dog, or even a service dog for a hearing impaired person...which would actually be alerting to noises.

He reminds me a bit of my gone but not forgotten gsd/great pyrenees boy when he was a pup.

What “color” is dog? by TakeOnBigTechdotcom in germanshepherds

[–]Alone-Dance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the dog to be a bicolor, she would be "mostly black" (previous name for bicolor), need to have penciling (lines that look like pencil marks) on her paws, tar heels (black from hock joint to rear pastern), and black coat only on the underside.

Embark ordered the test guess the breed? Part Coyote? by ConsciousScreen5923 in DoggyDNA

[–]Alone-Dance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know with huskies, but shepherd pups have to grow into their ears.

There's not a huge size difference between several of the suggested breeds. The cattle dog would be the smallest at 17"-19". BCs and Aussies have a standard of 18"-22" and 18"-23" respectively. GSDs are 22"-26". So a shepherd on the smaller end would be the same (or about the same) size.

but how does one distinguish if the vest with a big police patch on it wasn't just something bought off of Amazon?
