He weighs in at 60 lbs. if that changes anything. Thanks. Yes, he is WAY too small/skinny to be all Rott or Rott/Shepard. I'd say he's got some Pit in him by the looks of the structure of the jawline. He needs about 10-15 pounds on him. I don't understand what you're saying. If he weighed "10-15 pounds" more, then it seems that he would fit as a Rott/Shep mix. Right? At say 75 lbs he'd be much too big as a pitt mix. |

Putting weight on him doesn't make him more or less likely to be a Rottweiler / Shepherd mix. I understand the thinking though, in a way. I wanted a bigger dog so I fed her more hoping she'd grow. It seems kind of silly to me know because I was equating weight with size "I have a 55 pound dog". More important, as you seem to realize, is his overall structure. Relative structure can be seen in the picture, but there isn't much scale. Given the structure I can see and the weight provided my guess is that he is between 22-24 inches at the shoulder. That is a little on the small side for those breeds - but not so far as to be out of the running.Male GSD are 24-26 inches, Female 22-24. Rottweiler is 24-27 for males 22-25 for females. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/ |
