[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3352660, member: 39593"] Great Danes and I Wolf Hounds actually aren't that big. They're very tall because of their long legs but they aren't as heavy as mastiffs or St. Bernards which are shorter but overall much [i]heavier[/i] dogs. Basically they wrote it throwing together wildly different breeds because they didn't really take time. To fix it you have to break dogs up into more groups Pipsqueek- [Downgrade size to Tiny] use this for toys and the smaller terriers. Little Dog- [standard Small dog] use this for the largest terriers and smallish hounds Just Dog- [use riding dog stats medium size] use this for larger hounds and other working or sporting dogs up to about 100-120 pounds. Riding Dog- [start with black bear stats up speed lower strength] use this for mastiffs, St. Bernards, Danes, Irish Wolfhounds and others of similarly exceptional size. Just for some perspective my family raised St. Bernards and Mastiffs. None of the males went under 200 pounds and the females averaged about 170-180. I have personally seen these dogs take apart large male deer like hyenas on an antelope, literally ripping it limb from limb into pieces. In high school when my old car broke down not far from home I used two, just two, of these dogs to pull a station wagon two miles down an unpaved road of north Florida sand. Most people don't have the experience to really understand how powerful a grown dog of that size can be they're as dangerous as any leopard or cougar if they decide to attack. [/QUOTE]
