Just had to post this. H ope you enjoy.

I like it. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the dog has been manipulated within the frame to appear larger than he really is...but it's still a cool image.

 

[ordy]

ears up, alert, ready for anything that comes at him....so is the dog! Great pic. (Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.)

[/QUOTE I'm guessing if that Shepard was chasing you it would appear even larger.

Aloha,

I like how focused the dog is.

Not to mention he has a nice face(the dog).

Shepard Rottweiler mix? Shepard Akita mix? I think either would make for a VERY formidable looking dog - very similar to the one in the picture.

I was thinking Shepard/Rottie mix too. I wouldn't want to mess with his human. My black lab/Norwegian Elkhound looks like a nice friendly lab but.......get in her territory or between her and me, I'm not responsible for what might happen. She did nip the local LEO when he came into her/my space at work without me telling her "It's OK"

Some dogs are just big. Malcolm is a big boy for a Rot

I'm thinking Belgium malanois.

I would bet small cop, big dog. And I bet a fast dog, a lot faster than I'm interested in running.

Been said before "Lord help me become the person my dog thinks I am"

If more people actually knew the abilities of a dog like that they would freak. I have seen them in action and it was scary,it is easy to understand why humans have feared wolves all these years.

Not a Malinois. Too thick in the face. Belgian Shepherds are not very big; an 80 pound male would be freakish. I suspect that the photo has been manipulated, but I have met a GSD/Rott cross that would be about that size. Great dog.

Yes, he is. And actually, after looking at some videos of dogs like the one in the OP, I'll sort of semi-retract what I said about the image being manipulated. I still won't totally rule it out, but I looked at some big dogs in the videos.

Your Malcom is a beautiful dog, by the way. I've lived with Rottweilers for over twenty-five years now, but never had one that large.
