Thank you maggerle! Sounds like exactly what we are looking for. A gentle giant, yet protective. We do understand they will only live 6-10 years, but isnt that common for most bigger dogs? I am so sorry to hear about your Pebbles!
As for the poo and slobber, hubby already knows this dog will be HIS responsibilty and I get to sit back and love on him/her.
Thank you again! I really appreciate it!
