WOW! I like all the replies and lots of people are looking. I think I may have a source for them.. There is a Concrete/Monument place down the road from me here at work (I live in Western WI and work in a suburb of St. Paul, MN)... I have two concrete turtles from them (I love them) and it turns out that they can probably get GSDs in for me... They weigh about 200 lbs. a piece! It sounds like I can get them in plain white (?) so I can paint my own Sable (maybe a bi-color or black!)... I think if I am going through this hassle, I might buy two. If some one is REALLY interested, I could also find out how much it would be to ship it (alot).... Funny story about concrete statuary. My mom has two concrete dals - the one I bought and one they bought otherwise. The one they bought otherwise sits in her front flowerbed. On more than one occasion it has moved.... I mean as in moved... Someone thought they could steal the concrete dalmatian and haul it off. Well, it hasn't ever gotten any further than about 10 feet away from the flowerbed. It has also been found on the steps in front of the house, along the side of the house and in the neighbor's yard... I guess 150 lbs. is too much for your average village idiot to carry!... Thank you for all the replies... Maybe I will go in to the business of painting and reselling concrete GSDs!
