[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50 lbs +

(50 is the average between 70 and 30. "Plus" because he's a male.)

[b]Why did you believe them when they said 35-40, with parents weighing what they weigh[/b]?

a) I am not a breeder so I think breeders will know more than me.
b) I am an idiot
c) both[/quote]

PP you responded to. Now I feel bad for being mean. No, you are not an idiot. I was thinking maybe you had not met the parents and were not told of their size in advance. 
In general, F1 mixes are hard to predict, so the breeder should not have been so definitive.

Oh I wasn't thinking you were mean. I was making a joke of myself. I agree its not an exact science and really the breeder should not have made that promise. I am finding the dog huge and strong and I'm worried about being pulled over if he suddenly decides to chase a rabbit / bird / cat and I'm busy picking up his poop or something.[/quote][/quote]

PP again. Good :-)

Regarding the size and behavior, you need to intensify his training now. My friend has been dragged into the street many times and sustained a shoulder injury by the rescue dog that she was told would not be above 60lbs. The dog is now 90 lbs!!!

Have you tried clicker training? There are some good books on clicker or positive dog training. I also recommend Kikopup on YouTube. She's a great trainer. You could also pay for training services.
