My parents had one, Snowbear, who was the most incredible dog I've ever met. Everyone that came in contact with him offered to give him a home if they every wanted to rehome him. He came from a shelter. He was a beautiful, unbelievably smart, the most well-mannered, well cared for fur-family-member ever. The perfect watchdog. He was super-spoiled and extremely overweight, but has since lost 50+ lbs and is even more beautiful. His hair was long before and groomed daily, but now he goes to a groomer and his fur is kept shorter. (My parents have both passed on and, even tho I would have taken him in a heartbeat, I wanted him to have the best home possible so he is with a relative who has another large dog that he gets along with great and a huge yard that they play in. And, best of all, he is only a couple blocks from my house.). I would reccomend this breed to anyone with alot of room. |
