Comment to Am I Asking For Too Much...?
-
that's just my point, people expect working LGD's to be over 150pounds when they in reality rarely exceed 130 pounds.
big, heavy, to fluffy dogs aren't worth much to shepherds.
ofcourse there are more agile dogs around then LGD's, but as you said they are impressivly agile and for their size
kind regards
You are right
I have not seen a good LGD who is over 55 kg. You see everywhere that working dogs are much smaller than their showdogs! A good working dog need not be more in order to have the energy to go after his sheep!
This has been a conflict in many countries between those who begets up working dogs and those who breed showdogs!
