The Extra large,old-fashioned German shepherds These males were bred by Royalair, but owned by others. and are typical of the size and structure of my lines all of these males are OFA and are wonderful family pets.

  About OFA - Orthopedics Animals foundation of America a foundation for the registering of hips and elbows as well as other genetic diseases it has been extremely helpful to me as a breeder to OFA-certify my dogs. To check out any breeder type in the breed and kennel name such as mine (ROYALAIR)at the web sight above for your own research. If the breeders has been breeding along time you should see lots of names......

  http://www.akc.org

  About AKC & Other dog registries: AKC is the only All breed registry with a DNA program -Beware of puppy mill registries such as APR (american pet registry), & AKA as well as others. You are supporting puppy mills if you buy a dog with these registries as they are mainly for puppy mill breeders you know what you get with AKC because of inspections and DNA all Buyers beware! good example: two APR kennels close to me raise GSD's both are breeding females that are not german shepherds (they looked like husky crosses) but are registering them as German Shepherds and the registry does not care. I have personally seen it and so have many others support "good breeders" and no matter what the breed buy AKC.

  Are you looking for size here's some pointers!

  #1. Most breeders of large dog exaggerate by 50 lbs and several inches or more!

  #2 . Vet certified weight means nothing if you can't call the vet !

  # 3. Size means little if temper , health and longevity are not there !

  #4. If they won't let you see the dogs-STAY AWAY!

  See this web sight for some other respected breeders of Old time shepherds who are Oversized german shepherds! & lots of info on older lines, pictures and ect....
