Sorry, the pic is from a distance, but the scale is still sound.
Our Vincent weighs 80#. The other dog (Walter) is only 7 & ½ months old. He weighed 127# last Monday.
He's a big boy. The two of them get along great.

(71,279 posts)The small dog park is a little over 3. The second big park is 4.2 acres.
It's really nice. It's in the middle of a county forest preserve. 3 to 4 miles from the house, so convenient, too.

(991 posts)But Opie is only 86#. Opie is 50% great Pyrenees, 25 husky, 25 border Collie. What is Walter's breed?

(71,279 posts)He looks a little different than the pictures on line, in the face & head.
But, his human told me he's AKC registered. And, he's a very nice guy so I've got no reason to believe he's wrong.

(21,432 posts)Consulting the AKC website, it indicates that males generally range between 110-150 lbs.
Its descriptors for Anatolian shepherd are: reserved, independent and loyal. Perhaps your Walter is a little more on the friendly than reserved side.
Anyway, congrats. My wife and I have a Bernese. We put down our old, extremely arthritic mastiff/German shepherd cross last April. We're keeping the door open to getting a second dog, possibly a rescue (which Duke was) to be a companion for our girl.

(71,279 posts)He's super socialized. He pretty much gets along with all the other dogs put there, and that's got to be 15-20 regulars.
He's a good boy with the kitties too.
Carmen really likes him.
