That IS one, big, Shepherd you got there Wolferz. What'd you say she is; 110?
I'm hoping she's down to 100 pounds now. We've had her on a diet after she hurt herself jumping off the back porch. The leg has healed and she's losing the excess weight. The only snack she gets with her reduced rations is a quarter cup of frozen green beans twice a day and as many rabbits as she can catch in the back yard. She grabs one often or raids the nests for the little ones, which she swallows whole after getting a squeak or two out of them.
They're disappointing toys.:huh:

Haah, my Akita did the same thing with a groundhog. I don't know how she caught it, but she grabbed it in her mouth (my wife was walking her) and got one squeak out if it before my wife yelled and the dog dropped it.
I got the Akita on a diet too. She was too heavy (76 pounds) at my last Vet visit. She's usually around 65 to 70, but fattened up too much this past winter.

Wolfgang is 85 pounds and I can't seem to get any more weight out of him, though he bounces off the walls (or yard fence if you choose) like he's got ADHD.
He burns more calories than any 3 people I know.

Wolfgang is still a pup and he probably won't gain any weight until he gets a little older and slower. Right now, he's burning off his daily dietary intake.

Our Biff wouldn't have gotten so heavy if we weren't all crippled up round hyere and could walk her calories off. I asked the wife what Biffs' weight was at the last vet visit. She said 115 pounds. That's a fat dog! She got so broad in the hind quarters that her back began flattening out to the point where I started calling her a German aircraft carrier shepherd.:haha:

I had an uncle who raised and ran Beagles. He was a dog whisperer. He used to say; "Do you know how to tell if you're overfeeding your dog?"
"Why, no Uncle Jonah. How can you tell?"
"The dog will have a big old saucer arsehole instead of a little pinched one.":rotfl2:
He would provide a visual by curling his index finger into the web of his thumb.
"But, Uncle Jonah, doesn't a big old saucer arsehole make it easier for them to say hello?":shifty:
"Shut up kid! I'm trying to teach you something!"
