Yes, I didn't think that it was big enough for my Sammy at first but after getting it installed.. He loves it. He is 94 lbs and a big boy..have to get the measurements correct from the floor to the bottom of the door to fit your dogs size..it has been great, I don't know why I didn't get one sooner..

We have Boxers. The tallest is about 22 inches high to the shoulder - all are around 50 - 55 pounds. The other two are a little shorter and a little stockier. None of them have any trouble using the door. Just be sure to position it high enough off the floor on both sides - ours is higher on the inside on the porch than on the outside where there is a concrete pad. We put in a little step outside.

Here is a link explaining how to measure your dog to decide what size door you need:http://www.moorepet.com/Articles.asp?ID=219Basically, the top of the pet opening should be the height of your dog to his neck (2 inches above shoulder), and the bottom of the pet opening should about the height of his knees or a little lower.

My shepherd was heavy but also taller than the average. She is gone now or I would measure her for you. She had to sort of crawl her way through but she made it with no problem. She loved the door.

It is most important to get the measurements from the article referred to by J. Ehlers and the make sure that you position it at the correct height for your dog when you install it in the wall.

My Shepherd is 130lbs and it doesn't sink or move an inch when he is on it. Sometimes my pit/lab mix (70lbs) lays on it with him. I think your Cane would love it. :) Great company!

I have a six month old german shepherd that stands just under 2 ft. He has plenty of room to stand and move around in it. You will need a blanket to cover the floor, because it is metal and quite noisy when he moves or plays.

I have a mini Australian Shepherd and she is 40 pounds. I purchased a medium. I think it still might be a tad large. Her girth (widest/thickest part of rib cage, front) is about 24". I'm wondering if the large would be much too large for your dog. medium seems about right, in my best opinion.

If it's just for the German Shepherd to sleep in I'd say yes. If you want room for him to move around I'd say get something a bit larger. It's perfect for my 26 pound schnauzer.

I know Great Danes are very tall and I think it might work Bc my Rottweilers are like 130-150 lbs( have three) and also this is one of the tallest ones I have seen out there without it being custom made. Very durable and easy to wash down and I have had a couple for many years- I have three dog houses and after seeing all the other houses on the market, I would still buy this particular one! However, I do think the Great Dane is taller than the actual doghouse and would only be able to use it for a sleeping area and hard to stand up inside this. Maybe a kennel type of thing would be better because those are taller and you can put bedding in there?

Hi. You need to measure his neck since it is based on the size of the neck. Since your dog will be growing quite a bit, make sure there is plenty of room i.e. several inches that your dog can grow into. Our dog is about 40 pounds and has a wide neck. She fits medium with lots of room to spare.

I have a german shepherd/lab mix who is tall and long at 75 lbs. and bought the large. It is almost too big for him. If the rottweiller is wide and over 75 lbs, go with the large. If he is skinny, you may be able to use the med.

I have a german shepherd and he was 6 weeks and 9lbs when we got him and the bed. and now he is almost 4 months and about 40lbs. He can barely fit in it and he still likes it without the inner cushion. Hope that helps some

Weight is not as much of a determining metric as length, girth and neck measurements. I would suggest that you measure the dog and then pick a size.

My shepherds are full grown so the weight is no problem. It's made of very durable plastic. The game also has several levels of complexity in which to grow. Should be good for them.

My German Shepherd was about 100 lbs after his back surgery and I used a large. I would recommend a large for your pup. Read the instructions and the return policy when you get it just to be on the safe side. It is in all honesty a great product.

I have a 50lb, 20 month old German Shorthair and it fits him with PLENTY of room to grow. If anything, it's too big because the excess just flops around. I love this e collar and it is 100% worth the money. It has completely changed how we hunt together. Hope that helps! Email me with any more questions... Bjcoyne@mail.usf.edu

Extra small brother. Take a tape measure or better yet, some type of string & run it around his head....mark it...lay it out & measure it. I bought one for my miniature dauschound & the strap is adjustable. Your pup will be just fine.

I have a large German Shepherd mix that weighs about 70 lbs. He is pretty tall and this crate is a good fit for him. However, I would recommend checking for articles online that tell you how to measure your dog for a crate. That's what I did and it helped me find the best size for him.

Yes, I had big German shepherds-2 in fact, that fit nicely and held up to them. I have 3 Rottweilers now and still good after all of these years- very durable and easy to clean. One of the best buys and good pricing compared to other dog houses we looked at- very happy with purchase.

I don't know for a german Shepherd. I do know that my dogs HATED these boots and couldn't walk in them. They kept slipping on the ice. So the boots didn't do what they said and I ended up sending them back.
