Greetings all, I have been wondering over a question for a while, and would like some input.
We have sadly lost our old male dog some time ago, a gsd with a mutation that made him 2x the size of a normal gsd. perfectly fit and shaped, 65kg and made normal gsd males look like small females beside him. he was big. everywhere.
We got hooked on the larger than life dogs due to him, here I don't just mean the sex, but in general. it is amazing to have such a big wonderful life companion. being able to play rough with a 65kg was amazing, and I really felt I could connect with him better due to his size.
He was the perfect gentle giant, polite towards all, a protector of my wife and kids. and I miss him every day to just have around.
we are looking into getting a Leonberger next due to the nature and personality of the race (in general) reminds us of him. he will be a companion first, lover ... 6th? so many things before even getting to that point. however, what if I end up with another freak of nature, the GSD was already at the size of the biggest toy we got, actually he was maybe 10-15% bigger than the toy.
I'll post spec here without the site name or toy name that I am really unsure of banned sites or not, but seen it linked often, but you never know:
Total length 8.7" (22 cm)
Usable length 7.3" (18.5 cm)
Head width 1.4" (3.5 cm)
Head circumference 4.3" (11 cm)
Shaft length 4.8" (12.2 cm)
Shaft width 1.6" (4 cm)
Shaft circumference 5" (12.8 cm)
Knot length 1.8" (4.5 cm)
Knot width 2.4" (6.2 cm)
I can take that, and I could take my old gsd, but my mind keeps going onto, what happens if the knot gets too big? ripped insides, or does the knot actually, in some way, limit itself once max area is filled? I am not worried about being stuck in a painful tie for an hour, pain will pass away and a lesson will be learned, it is sole the risk of something going way wrong.
Anyone care to weight in on this? I have of course searched the forum for huge dogs and such, but haven't found just the right info, so hope people will be ok with this post.
Thank you for your time to read this, have a nice day all!
