Not the worst thing for oversize, but understand your concern... Nan

He lived to 11 1/2( just passed 6 weeks ago) without any medical worries until the last month. Wouldn't of traded him for the world. Enjoy your big boy and hopefully your crate will fit(I eventually had to get the largest vari kennel they had and his paws touched just the front when he was laying from end to end.:)

But please watch his weight as he gets older, he and his joints & heart do not need to carry more bodyweight than necessary, keep him slim and fit rather than trying for the "heaviest GSD" contests, no matter whether you participate in working / sports or just keep him as a companion.

I have found people can over feed because the dog is hungry, but the more food the more growth and the more issues later in life.
There are some shepherd that are larger then others and if a show dog well sounds like will be to big to show, but if you don't plan on showing him then not an issue.
Just be careful he doesn't jump off or over things, walk him slow due to his bones are soft until he is 18 months, you don't want to cause more issues and heaps of pain when he gets older.

Probably 80% of all Shepherds bred today are oversized, if you go by SHOW rules-German standard, other than that he's not oversized.
Depending the type, where you bought him, feeding, etc will make a difference.
If he's healthy, happy, enjoy him !
Good luck

Pictures would help. Pictures next to a yardstick would help more. Pedigree would help, too.
